Udon

Soba

Ramen Simple, Orthodox style

They also sell Curry, Fried rice, Shougayaki-don, Katsu-don and other side menus despite being an Udon and Soba restaurant. Typically they sell those together with Soba or Udon as a set for one person. It will fill your stomach.

They don't discriminate noodles

They may be an Udon restaurant, but recently they also serve Ramen and Spaghetti, showcasing a substantial lineup of noodles! Of course, the taste is "typical"

Spaghetti The noodles are very stringy

The taste is "typical"

It isn't exactly the best taste, but it's far from being bad. It a 'typical' taste that you can keep on eating everyday.

It's an Udon franchise restaurant with 170 stores spanning across 6 prefecture around Kanto region (with half of it at Saitama). It can be found mainly at the national highways, with the patron consists of mostly truck drivers and people who work at a corporation-owned factory and the neighborhood surrounding it.

And the taste is obviously, "typical"!

Come to think of it, The taste is pretty agreeable even for a lunch break meal.

Other restaurants may pursue "deliciousness" or "refined" in their goal, but Yamada Udon keeps their priorities straight and doesn't aim big.

School lunch

Yamada Udon provides soft noodles to grade and junior high school's canteen in Saitama.

A lot of kids in Saitama can pretty much say "I grew up with that" regarding the food.

Punch...?

Why was it called a "punch" to begin with?

They surprisingly recommends their "Punch" (Motsuni) Motsuni is Japanese stewed giblets

In the 50th Showa (1976), Motsuni was just started to be commercialized for public. There was a discussion on what should it be called. Then someone suggest a name that packs a 'punch'. Then let's just call it a "Punch" then! And the rest is history.

Somewhat soft in texture! For 1 pax
