Daichi no udon

Daichino Udon is an udon specialty shop in the basement of a building across from Hakata Station, serving burdock tempura udon and bukkake udon. It tops both clear-broth udon and brothless bukkake udon with fried burdock, and the noodles have a slightly translucent, soft texture. On a Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., the wait was 30 minutes, and customers buy a meal ticket from a cash machine and hand it to staff. The udon noodles have the slightly softened Kyushu-style texture that divides opinion.
