Furusato Okirikomi

Traditional Gunma udon made with wide noodles and local vegetables.

Last update :
Supervised by :  Furusato Okirikomi

Enjoy okirikomi, a local specialty of Gunma made with wide hand-cut udon noodles simmered with plenty of local vegetables. Run by the third generation, this restaurant carefully preserves a flavor passed down over the years, bringing together chewy noodles made with traditional methods and the gentle umami of root and leafy vegetables infused with dashi for a simple, comforting bowl.

In addition to the classic version, the menu also offers variations such as green chili and chicken, making it easy to choose your favorite. The flour on the noodles naturally thickens the soup, giving it more body and making it enjoyable to the very last bite. The colorful ingredients also change with the seasons, adding another reason to come back throughout the year. It’s also recommended to change up the flavor with a local spicy seasoning.

The restaurant has a calm interior with a slightly nostalgic atmosphere, making it a place where you can experience the warmth of gentle, locally rooted cooking.
