Eating udon noodles in Takamatsu is a main attraction for Japanese
tourists. Udon noodles made in Takamatsu are so delicious. Kagawa
people often say, "We eat udon every day". Visitors can
try udon noodles in some factories. Morning and lunch are the best
time to eat udon noodles because they are so fresh. Some private
houses in local areas run udon restaurants. Many of the private
