This is a bustling local restaurant with great food and a lively, friendly host who speaks English. There are a number of fish choices but the snappier and Spanish mackerel were especially delicious. You can also select various vegetable side dishes from the display, and they also have miso soup with various garnish options. It is very busy, we went there twice and the second time was a Friday and we had to wait about 10 minutes, however the service is very fast. It is a bit hard to find, it is one street off the shopping arcade, but we asked and found it without too much trouble.

Fantastic place for lunch before visiting Ritsurin Koen. You choose small or large size udon, the cook for five seconds in the hot water bath then add chopped spring onions, pepper and tempura flakes. As you choose your size of udon you choose your topping, everything looks really good but I had gobo and sweet potato tempura which were both delicious. The place is full of local workers so you just sit a long bench tables. Make sure you return your tray when you finish. They make their own udon each day and when it is sold out the restaurant is closed. Unfortunately they are not open at night. Takamatsu is a centre for udon and this place is one of the best.

my host in Takamatsu recommended this to us but we think it was just soso. If you would like to try the chicken leg, I would recommend you to choose the "baby chicken leg" unless you really love to try another one with rough texture. not quite worth of money.

the place was pretty packed on a Thursday night...I thought 700 for a small bowl of curry-udon was bit much (most places have it for 100-200 yen less)...I don't know about the noodles being anything special but the curry broth was fantastic...not too thick or too runny...pretty rare for curry broth to be good enough to sip as soup after the noodles have been slurped up...the curry-udon definitely lived up to the hype...stop by if you're in Takamatsu!

Very disappointed by our dinner at the Museum Restaurant. My 10 course "vegetarian" offering (kaiseki) was beautifully presented, but showed no variation in the textures which went from slimy to gelatinous to glutinous . It might be a question of acquired taste, however the tempura was badly executed and the final corn rice dish was not made with a stock. Also It was not entirely vegetarian, as some of the dishes were fish flavored, but I had been warned about it.My daughter fish Menu was equally unexceptional ("grilled tofu" did not appeared to be grilled at all, prawn tempura was heavy etc...). We were a captive audience as we were staying at the Museum hotel, and there is only another option (French restaurant ) within walking distance. Maybe the kitchen knows it too well.
