Yataro Udon is an udon and oden shop that opened in 1966, near Watanabedori between Tenjin and Hakata. It serves shrimp tempura udon and beef udon in a light, deep broth, with noodles that go down soft. The shop works well for a morning meal after drinking, and from 2 to 3 p.m. it is quiet enough to eat in peace. The broth can taste salty, and the seating is cramped and fixed in place.
