Google Maps
As the name suggests, this is a Mizusawa udon restaurant.
『Main store' is also located in Ikaho, and although it is possible to visit by bus, it is generally difficult to visit without a car due to the number of buses.
On the other hand, this store is close to Ikaho Sekidangai, making it easy for those visiting by public transportation such as buses.
There are banners and signs posted at the entrance, so don't miss them.

Perhaps because it is a relatively new store, opening at the end of 2024, the store was empty with only a few groups inside.
I think one of the reasons was that it was past the peak lunch time.
How to Order
Payment method: cash only
In addition to eating and drinking inside the store, we also sell udon noodles and sauces for souvenirs, which can be purchased from the ticket machine.
Assorted udon noodles
This time, we will introduce the most standard ``Assorted udon (930 yen)” I asked.
My wife and I shared one dish, but she agreed.
The meal was served within 5 minutes after handing over the ticket.
There are two types of dipping sauce: sesame sauce and mentsuyu.
I also add some sesame seeds that I have ground myself, which adds even more sesame flavor.
In addition to green onions as a condiment, a small bowl of shiitake mushrooms is also included.
This is a great lineup considering the price.
Let's get it then.
Mizusawa udon
The thickness seems to be the same as the udon noodles sold at the supermarket.
When you pick it up with chopsticks and try it, you can clearly feel the difference from the udon you buy at the supermarket.
Just by holding it, you can tell that it has a firm elasticity, and when you bite into it, it has a chewy texture.
You can see that the corners stand out sharply.
Because it has a chewy texture, you will inevitably have to chew it more often, but as you chew, you will also notice the aroma of wheat.
This is by far my favorite noodle.
Another thing I like about this dish is that the noodles are thoroughly soaked in cold water.
As a side note, there are many udon and soba restaurants that serve the noodles in a crispy state, but when it comes to tsukemen, there are many restaurants that serve them lukewarm. .
I seriously want you to learn from me. .
Mentsuyu
The mentsuyu seems to be normal, not too sweet and not too salty.
Sesame sauce
The flavor and taste of sesame go well with the chewy udon noodles.
Coupled with the effort of rubbing it myself, this one tastes better.
I think it depends on each person whether they prefer mentsuyu or sesame sauce.
At normal stores, you can only choose one, and you may have to pay for both, but it's a blessing to be able to enjoy two types by default.
Impressions and Rating
Mizusawatei was delicious.
This was the second udon restaurant I visited while walking around that day, so I'm sorry that I only ordered this place. .
I had to buy a souvenir for that, so please excuse me. .
By the way, the first house is ``stone steps udonI received hot pot udon and warm Mizusawa udon.

As you can see, at the second restaurant, I had the cold Mizusawa udon.
It's difficult to make a simple comparison because the stores are different, but I think if you have to choose between hot and cold, I'd prefer cold because it gives you a more chewy texture.
There are several restaurants where you can eat Mizusawa udon and Himokawa udon in the Ishidangai area of Ikaho Onsen.
However, if you search for other stores, you will find that they actually have stores in Tokyo.
The two restaurants we visited this time are only available in Ikaho, so please use this as a reference when choosing a restaurant.
There are many restaurants that serve hot and cold food, so be sure to visit and find what you like.
