Located on Mizusawa Udon Street in front of Mizusawa Kannon temple, the shop dates its history to 1582 (Tenshō 10), making it the best-known old-established Mizusawa udon restaurant. The signature Two-Dip Cold Udon comes with sesame and soy dipping sauces, about ¥1,320. The Kōden Kirimugi, made with whole-wheat flour, is the same price, and there are also set meals with tempura. The restaurant seats about 200, with around 100 free parking spaces out front. Entry is by numbered ticket. Lines are very long at midday on weekends and holidays, so aim to arrive before 11:00 a.m. Open 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. or until the noodles sell out; closed Wednesdays. It is about 10 minutes by bus or car from Ikaho Onsen's main street.
