Santaku

Santaku is a udon shop in Enmachi, Kyoto, serving Sanuki-style udon made from noodles the shop pulls itself. The noodles are chewy and springy, and the katsuo broth is rich and deep. On a late Saturday afternoon the wait was 40 minutes, and when the shop is full up to five people wait inside while the sixth and later wait outside. A queue forms at lunch.
