Handmade Udon & Tempura Menkui Kinya

✔️Opening Hours: 11:30 ~ 15:50 / 18:00 ~ 19:50 (Closed on Thursdays)

We decided to eat udon for our second meal in Japan and looked for a restaurant near the Kamo River. We also found this place through Google Maps

Google rating 4.6

We went on the dinner opening run and when we arrived around 5:50, there was a group in front of us so we were able to get in right away

There aren't many tables inside. It's small with only 2 tables for 4 people and a Dotchi table.

There's no Korean menu, but there's an English menu and you can use a translator, so it wasn't a big problem.

The udon menu was well priced (minimum 450 yen ~ maximum 800 yen).

KAMATAMA With soy sauce 550 yen
KAKE Simple soup 600 yen
6 vegetable tempura 550 yen

I ordered like this, and the recommended menus are KAMATAMA and tempura!!

KAKE's broth was a little salty with the taste of katsuobushi, so I added water to eat it. ㅠㅠ

However, many people ordered KAMATAMA, so I understand why many people order it. The noodles were chewy and light, so it was delicious.

The tempura was the most delicious, so I recommend ordering the tempura you want rather than the set!!! The tempura is super delicious, so eat it all up.
