Udon Kompira
The chewy, hand-pulled udon at Udon Kompira is a standout, frequently praised for its authentic Sanuki style and delightfully bouncy texture – many diners describe it as exceptionally fresh and flavourful. However, some reviewers note that the noodles aren't always soft, leaning towards a firmer, chewier consistency which might not appeal to those seeking traditional, melt-in-your-mouth udon.
