2026.05.18What is Naruchuru Udon?
Naruto City was once a thriving salt-producing region.
It is said that people working in the salt fields preferred to eat udon noodles as a quick meal during breaks from work.
The uneven noodles are thin, soft, and short, making them easy for even young children to slurp down, hence the name "Naruchuru Udon" (Slurping Udon).
The broth is soy sauce-based, and the standard toppings are green onions and chopped fried tofu.
This article features a selection of restaurants in the city where you can enjoy Naruchuru Udon.
1. Funamoto Udon Takashima Main Store
The handmade noodles have a smooth texture, and the broth, which has been passed down since the restaurant's founding, has a light and refined taste.
The chopped fried tofu is sourced from a local tofu shop. Many repeat customers come specifically for the oden and homemade croquettes.
