Famous Takamatsu udon shop known for its spectacular butter-and-egg "kamatama" udon.
Udon Baka Ichidai is a famous udon shop in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture—the heartland of sanuki udon. The restaurant is renowned for its signature "butter udon" where a generous knob of butter and a raw egg are placed atop freshly made udon, creating a Japanese take on carbonara. The chewy, handmade noodles and unpretentious atmosphere capture the essence of Kagawa's udon culture.
