Mizusawa Udon
The noodles are glossy and white, with translucent patches throughout. When slurped, the strong chewiness and smooth texture feel delightful, pairing perfectly with the dipping sauce. Because it is so simple, the craftsman's skill truly shines in every bowl. Mizusawa Udon is a specialty considered one of Japan's three major udon, alongside Sanuki and Inaniwa. It originated in front of Mizusawa-dera Temple in Ikaho, Shibukawa City. It is said that this temple, known as the 16th station of the Bando 33 Kannon pilgrimage, was bustling with many worshippers, and monks began entertaining people with udon made from local wheat and Mizusawa spring water. Its history spans approximately 400 years. Even today, over a dozen shops line the area for about 1.5 kilometers, known as the 'Mizusawa Udon Highway.' This is our pride: udon nurtured by the spring water of the temple town.
