Just off Waseda-dori near Takadanobaba Station, at the end of an alley marked by a yellow noren curtain, stands Daichi no Udon Tokyo Baba, whose main branch is in Fukuoka. The specialty is a disk-shaped burdock tempura fried so large it covers the bowl, celebrated for how its crispy batter gradually softens as it absorbs the dashi (Japanese soup stock), letting diners enjoy changes in texture. The noodles possess a distinctive translucent look and chewy springiness, ensuring excellent throat-feel even in a simple zaru or kake bowl. Other popular choices include the niku gobo-ten udon paired with sweet and savory beef, and bukkake udon piled high with vegetable tempura. Because noodles are rolled and tempura is fried upon order, there is some wait, but the restaurant buzzes with lively energy from kitchen sizzling sounds and spirited staff calls. Offering 8 counter seats and table seats, this entirely non-smoking shop is well suited for both solo lunches and family meals.
