These are my top 5 must-eat foods of Shikoku, Japan!

Let’s just start with me telling you how much I love Nagoya meshi (Nagoya specialty food). Nagoya is often overlooked, but in my opinion I think this offers the best all around food in Japan.

Osaka is not only great for shopping, bars and sightseeing, it also houses many great foods!

Sensei Awesome, which is the nickname we have given my daughter’s teacher, invited the parents to come for a day of udon noodle making at school. Kids and their parents were given the opportunity to make hand-made udon noodles and they were fabulous!

Sanuki udon is probably one of the most (if not the most) popular udon or wheat noodle in Japan. Hailing from Kagawa, the modern name of Sanuki , Sanuki udon is most well-known for its very firm and elastic, chewy texture or what the locals describe as “Koshi ga aru”.

It is hard to believe, but Japan does indeed have an Udon Prefecture. Located on the small island of shikoku, Kagawa is famously known as the “Udon-ken” for being very famous with these delicious thick wheat floured noodles.

As well as anime, manga, video games, the latest technology and some of the best public transport in the world, Japan is home to some delicious foods, snacks and desserts that you can't get anywhere else.

A culture with a wide variety of noodles has risen at the areas along the Ryomo Line, which is a wheat producing area blessed with good water.
