Koya Japanese Udon

I hate "foodies" because every restaurant that I discover soon after they invade and make my return almost impossible.Look at them queuing out side Koya!

I discover "Prince" Italian bakery long before them, see it now, impossible to go!Always full!
Well, going back to Koya...


 My favorite  dish was Kinoko, a delicious mushroons and walnut miso.You can have it in cold or hot broth.
There are three main types of Japanese noodle:
Udon- is thick, soft flour noodle The speciallity at Koya, it is home-made, i heard that a special flour is imported from Japan.
Which comes from the south.
Soba- is a thin, firmer buckwheat noodle, which comes from the north.
Ramen- originally from China but now a Japanese speciality, is a wheat noodle that is always served in a bowl of stock.
Try Kakuni a delicious pork belly braised in English cider, soya, brown sugar and ginger, it's a combination of tart and sweet which works very well in this dish.
There is also available a "daily specials" on a board. I've tried another winner, Monk fish cooked in its liver broth, doesn't sound very appetizing but i promise it's worth it!
