Oniyanma is located right in front of Gotanda Station. It’s a standing noodle shop and there’s always a HUGEE queue.

Oniyanma is a Sanuki-Udon (thick Udon from Kagawa prefecture) shop.

The picture of Oniyanma on the shop curtain is so cute!

The shop is so tiny! There’s a kitchen in the middle and counter-seats around it.

We sat down with a meal ticket we bought at the ticketing vending machine outside.

What should I order…

Wait what!? It’s so CHEAP!!

Toriten Chikuwa (Chicken Tempura with a tube-shaped fish paste cake) Udon ¥490
Tempura Udon ¥470
Niku (meat) Udon ¥530

But my friend recommended me Ten Udon so I decided to order this! Only ¥420!

Customers endlessly come and go so they’re always boiling noodles.

They serve raw noodles so they have to be constantly boiling noodles.

You can always get just-boiled noodles.

Toriten Udon arrived!!

The golden soup, green onions, and just-fried toriten! Yummm!

The noodle is so chewy!

AND this Toriten!! It’s crunchy!

They’re always frying Tempura so they are always ready to serve – this is one of the good things about standing restaurants.

Delicious!

It’s still a surprise that it only cost ¥420!

If I lived close by, I had come here everyday! I’m sure there are people who come by everyday as a ‘canteen’.

I ordered hot udon but cold udon is also good!

If the line is not too long, definitely worth a try!
