Sanuki Udon (Zentsuji)
As you slurp the noodles, you experience a chewy texture and a subtle aroma of wheat. The noodles cling to the flavorful dashi broth, making the simple ingredients stand out with their inherent deliciousness. Zentsuji is known as the birthplace of Kobo Daichi (Kukai). There is even a legend that the origins of Sanuki Udon can be traced back to Kukai, who is said to have brought the production methods from Tang Dynasty China. However, no historical records exist to support this, and it remains a piece of folklore. Nevertheless, there is a mysterious and special flavor to enjoying a bowl in the town associated with Kobo Daishi. After visiting the head temple of Zentsuji, please come and taste the udon loved by the locals.
