Azuki is a restaurant known for its authentic Japanese udon. Located in the city, it is considered one of the best places to enjoy udon, with reviewers comparing it favorably to udon found in Tokyo. The restaurant is small, with seating for less than 20 people, and has a Japan-like atmosphere. The ambiance is simple and homey, providing a unique dining experience.
The udon and broth at Azuki are highly regarded, with the Garlic Pork, Signature Beef, Yuzu Shio, Miso Shippoku, and Mentaiko udon being particularly popular choices. Reviewers have praised the noodles for their amazing texture and chewiness, noting that they are handmade with skill. The restaurant also offers Unagi fried rice and curry, both praised for their authenticity. The udon prices may seem a little high, but they include a small chawanmushi, pickled cabbage, and azuki bean jelly, which adds value to the meal.
Due to its popularity and small size, waiting times at Azuki can be long, so it is recommended to arrive early or be prepared to wait. The restaurant is open for dine-in and takeout. Azuki has been in operation since early March 2020 and has gained a loyal following among locals. The owner, Ryuji-san, is described as a cool chef who takes pride in serving authentic Japanese udon.
