The Nikomi udon from Nagoya and Yamamotoya Sohonke has remained the same throughout all their shops. The Nikomi udon is made from red miso paste, which gives a salty taste and a red-brown color to the broth. They mastered this style of udon, and their most acclaimed dish is the Oyako-nikomi udon, which includes meat and egg, together with vegetables. The balance between the soup taste and thickness and the texture of the udon noodles are really nice. You can also enjoy their classic miso oden (e ... specially during the cold season). The shop is located on the 9th Floor of the Meitetsu Department store near the Nagoya JR station. It is perfect if you are around Nagoya for a daily trip and want to enjoy something original from the area, but close to the station.
