- Kagawa Prefecture - Situated in the northeastern part of Shikoku, Kagawa Prefecture is famously referred to as Japan’s “Udon Prefecture.” This title is attributed not only to the abundance of udon eateries but also to the strong bond between the residents and their daily noodle dishes. In Kagawa, udon transcends being just a meal; it is an integral part of daily life, with locals often visiting several shops to compare flavors and textures.
Sanuki udon is celebrated for its firm, chewy noodles and a simple yet savory broth crafted from ingredients like dried sardines and kelp. This straightforwardness allows each establishment to cultivate its own distinct style, fostering a culture of “udon hopping.”
Many eateries adopt a relaxed, self-service approach, mirroring the region’s pragmatic culinary culture. Although seafood and seasonal produce from the Seto Inland Sea are also significant, udon remains the quintessential emblem of Kagawa’s culinary identity.
