Sanuki beef egg udon (promo: $9.80 each)!
Monday Tamoya Udon — Sanuki beef egg udon $9.80 each. Promo pricing sanuki udon specialist.
Udon dinner with BB at Tamoya Udon: sanuki beef egg udon, $9.80 each on promo (usually $11.20). 😋
What was in the bowl:
- Chewy sanuki udon in a clear dashi broth.
- Sliced beef simmered gyudon-style.
- A soft onsen egg, plus scallions.
Tamoya is the sanuki udon specialist, and sanuki (from Kagawa Prefecture in Japan) is the gold standard of udon: thick, square-edged noodles with a firm, dense, springy “koshi” bite that you really feel as you chew. They make them fresh, so the texture is the whole point, and it’s noticeably better than the soft, limp udon you get at a food court.
The toppings turn it into a proper meal. The sliced beef is cooked sweet-savoury in the gyudon style and stays tender, while the onsen egg is the key, break it so the runny yolk swirls into the dashi broth, enriching the soup and coating the noodles. It’s a clean, comforting, well-balanced bowl that lets the noodles shine.
With the promo knocking it down to $9.80, it was great value for fresh sanuki udon in town, the kind of reliable Japanese dinner worth catching on a deal.
Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Properly chewy sanuki udon with tender beef and a runny onsen egg, great value on the promo. Would re-order.
