1. Kendonya [Fukakusa Ichinotsubocho]

Kendonya, located around the Fushimi Inari area is where you can enjoy delicious hand-kneaded udon noodles using original flour! The udon noodles have a chewy texture and is filling. The broth soup has a light taste which is a characteristic of the Kansai region but has a strong flavor that fills your mouth. Since this is in Fushimi Inari, we recommend the kitsune udon (udon with deep fried tofu pouch)!

The local specialty of Fushimi Inari is sparrow. The way it is served may be bizarre to some but it can be eaten under the eaves at Oshokujidokoro Inafuku. It is in a convenient location so it is a recommended place for those who would like to try sparrows once. The meat is small and there is not much fat but the bones are soft so you can eat the whole thing.
