Zen On

Truly foodgasmic udon, notably handmade from just flour and salt, served with add-ons like panko fried shrimp, chicken karaage, pickled and caramelised asparagus, honey-glazed bacon, and more. My goodness! Vegetarians need not stay away - sesame broth is available and comes with avocado tempura, shiitake mushrooms, and nori (and a healthy serving of udon, of course). Round your meal out with matcha ice cream and a cup of sencha or kukicha tea. While not technically in the Old Town, this beautifully-decorated two-storey space with impeccable service is worth travelling that extra bit further, especially if you're an udon enthusiast (like us).
