Handmade Udon Tsurumaru

Handmade Udon Tsurumaru is a night-only udon shop in Takamatsu City’s downtown entertainment district. It opens from 20:00 to 3:00, and is valued by both tourists and locals as a place where you can eat freshly made, delicious udon late at night. People use it conveniently—some come for a “closing” bowl after drinking, while others eat udon first and then go out for drinks. Curry udon is especially popular, and there are moments when nearly everyone in the shop is eating it. Oden, typical of udon shops, is available year-round, and you can pick your preferred items yourself and eat them with plenty of mustard. Even if you’re traveling and missed normal udon hours, it’s praised for letting you enjoy freshly made udon like you would in the daytime. Nearby is a shop famous for nikuman (meat buns), and the whole area is packed with eateries and bars; it stays lively even at night, which makes it reassuring for women’s trips as well. Access is about a 5-minute walk from Kotoden Kawaramachi Station.
