Shinano-ya is a popular udon shop located a 10-minute walk from Tajimi Station in Gifu Prefecture. Known for its signature "korokake" udon, a simple yet flavorful cold udon dish with a rich, dark broth, Shinano-ya offers a taste of traditional Japanese comfort food. The restaurant has a cozy, old-fashioned atmosphere, reminiscent of visiting a relative's home. The chewy, homemade udon noodles and the customizable broth make it a must-try for udon lovers. Be prepared for a possible wait, especially after media appearances. Open for lunch, it's best to visit during off-peak hours to avoid crowds.
