Yamamoto Menzou

Yamamoto Menzou in Kyoto serves cold and hot udon with thick noodles. The udon is soft on the outside and chewy inside, and can be ordered with fried chicken breast, burdock, and seasonal vegetables. Without a reservation, guests eat from takeout containers in a separate second-floor space, where fewer menu items are available than on the first floor. Reservations are accepted from three days in advance, and walk-in visitors face a wait.
