About

Located in Shibuya Maruyama-cho, just a few minutes' walk from Shinsen Station on the Keio Inokashira Line, this Sanuki udon restaurant uses no machines whatsoever to make its noodles. They knead domestic wheat flour by hand, let it rest for several days, then roll it out and cut it with a knife. Founded in 1936 in Zentsuji City, Kagawa Prefecture, this long-established restaurant offers a retro Showa-era atmosphere, adorned with Showa-era signs, interior decor, and merchandise from movies and anime. Whether you're dining alone or with a large group, you can enjoy their handmade udon.

— From Shikoku to Shibuya, four generations of handmade noodles

The restaurant's name originates from Yashima in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. In the 1960s, the shop left Kagawa and moved to Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. In 1976, it relocated to Udagawa-cho, Shibuya, after being encouraged by a customer who had been transferred from Tokyo to Tokyo to open a branch there. In 2012, the building it was located in was demolished, forcing them to leave Udagawa-cho, and in 2013, the fourth-generation owner, Mr. Shiraku, opened the Maruyama-cho branch. The shop has passed down its handmade noodle-making techniques from parent to child, while moving locations from Shikoku to Shibuya.

At Menki Yashima, an authentic Sanuki udon restaurant in Maruyama-cho, Shibuya, you can enjoy chewy, handmade udon noodles even if you're vegan. This time, the vegan tempura batter bits were sold out, so I ordered the grated radish, tempura batter bits, wakame seaweed, and raw soy sauce udon without the tempura batter bits. Even so, the chewy texture of the noodles, the flavor of the wakame seaweed, the refreshing taste of the grated radish, and the aroma of the raw soy sauce all combined to make a simple yet satisfying bowl. It's great that you can enjoy authentic Sanuki udon in a vegan way.
