Sanuki Udon
Sanuki Udon (讃岐うどん), named after Kagawa Prefecture’s former name, is one of Japan’s three most famous udon noodles. Known for its firm and chewy texture, this specialty is crafted using a specific type of wheat traditionally grown in Kagawa, although today, much of the wheat is imported from Australia. Sanuki Udon is incredibly versatile—it can be enjoyed cold with dipping sauce or served hot in a flavorful broth. Its affordability, quick preparation, and delicious taste make it a beloved comfort food across Japan.

The region's udon culture is deeply rooted in its identity, and visitors can indulge in authentic, freshly made noodles at local eateries. Whether you’re a foodie or a casual traveler, tasting Sanuki Udon is a must when visiting Kagawa.
