Yamagoe Udon is a popular udon restaurant in Kagawa Prefecture. A popular restaurant with long lines on weekends. It is crowded with many people looking for exquisite udon. The store is full of excitement. You can’t take your eyes off the skill of the udon chefs. The most popular is Kamama Udon.

The combination of melting eggs and chewy udon noodles is outstanding. Coco, the signboard cat, also appears. She has a polite personality, but is very sweet. Yamagoe udon is loved by many people. I will bring you plenty of that charm. Please watch till the end! . Hadokogami, Kagawa Prefecture.

This time I came to the popular udon restaurant “Yamagoe Udon”. It’s now 7:00 a.m. Cones are lined up in the parking lot space. JKT) What is this…? . JKT) For customer’s…? . It’s for queues. JKT) It’s a lane for waiting! . Customers line up here. JKT) I see! . JKT) That’s surprising….

It’s already full yesterday. There was a line all the way to the other side. A lane with about 150 to 200 people lined up. The store entrance is still further down this lane. There are about 100 people lined up from here to the entrance.

It’s an hour before the store opens, but there are already customers waiting in line. In the kitchen, the preparation of udon noodles was progressing. First, knead the dough using this machine. Remove the dough. It looks extremely heavy. Next, tamp down this dough. Remove the hardened dough. After cutting, step on it again.

And here comes the press machine. Press the dough firmly. Repeat this process many times. Fold the resulting dough again and press it again. This is how Sanuki udon gets its strong chewy texture. Strongly trained udon. Going to cut this. Surprisingly, this dough was then layered and pressed. They will thoroughly train the dough.

Shape the dough into a round shape. The skill of the craftsman is to finish it so that no air gets inside. It has a beautiful shape with a smooth surface. It’s not finished yet. Put it through the press again. This is Sanuki udon…! . Behind the deliciousness lies uncompromising work.

Let it sleep like this for a while. Finally, roll it out even thinner and it’s done. Yamagoe Udon has a garden-like eating space. Standing there is Coco, the signboard cat. She is the idol of Yamagoe Udon. She came 7 years ago. She was probably abandoned. She came here hungry.

Originally, she was wary of humans and would only hang out on the roof. For the first three years, She didn’t appear at all. She was afraid of humans. But one day she came to me. She was able to touch humans from then on. Now she considers herself an employee here.

She works in customer service every day. Is it the year of Corona? The number of customers will decrease, right? . She also became anxious as there were fewer people. Little by little, she started visiting customers and interacting with them. She learned that doing so would make the customers happy.

And she started the work. Look. like this. She talks a lot. The yellow tabby cat is quite talkative. JKT) Let’s talk. You talk a lot. So cute. I can see why customers like her. Mr. Yamagoe) Are you already waiting for customers? It’s still early. JKT) Maybe she’s preparing.

Mr. Yamakoshi) It’s a little early though. JKT)She knows that a customer will be here in the morning. oh yeah. JKT）It’s still early. It’ll be a while. JKT) Everyone will be here in a little while. Too cute…! . I want to play with her forever. Really cute.

This time I’ll be showing a lot of Coco footage. Even before the store opened, more and more customers started arriving. There is already a line forming in the special lane. It’s very popular. 15 minutes left until the store opens. The kitchen is ready. Business hours started at 9:00 AM.

On peak days, Yamagoe Udon receives over 1,300 customers. Udon noodles can exceed 2100 balls. This is an unimaginable number for a typical restaurant. Udon is broadly classified into two types. One is “Kamaage Udon,” where you eat the noodles as they are after they are boiled.

This style involves transferring the noodles to a bowl along with the boiling water. Kamaage is the most popular type of Yamagoe udon. Kamatama-yama (Udon with a yam and egg). There are two large ones. Noodles that are not soaked in water have a chewy surface. You can enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth taste.

The other style is to wash boiled noodles to the water. Rinse with cold water to remove slime from the surface of the noodles. You can feel the original firmness of the noodles. When an order is placed, the food is reheated and served. You can also eat it cold as is.

Udon noodles are cut one after another. The craftsmanship of breaking an egg with both hands. The noodle shop is filled with tremendous excitement. Granma of Yamagoe Udon takes orders. She conveys orders from customers to the noodle shop. She also finish and serve the udon noodles. Granma) Thank you.

Granma) There will be 1 large bowl, 4 small bowls, and 5 bowls. Granma) Next person please! . Granma) Please place your order! . Customer) Two large Kamatamas! . Granma) Yes! thank you. Granma) Small, large, small. Granma) 6 small and 2 large. Granma) After that, it was small, large, and small.

Granma) Kamama Large, small, small, large, small. Granma) After that, small Kamatama and small Kake. Granma) After that, 2 small. Granma) Next person please! . Customer) Please give me a small cold one with yam. Granma) Would you like it to come with two eggs? . Granma) Is one egg ok? .

I was surprised by the her calm operation. In this rush, udon is served precisely. Order is fast and come in without interruption. The menu only includes udon, but there are nine types. The most popular dish is “Kamatama-yama” (udon with a yam and egg).

There is also a simple “kamatama” that does not contain yam. Standard “kake udon” is also often served. You can also choose cold noodles such as kake udon. This is a cold noodle called “Yamakake” with yam. This is “Tsukimiyama Kake Udon”. Everything looks delicious. I shot a video from the customer’s perspective.

As soon as you enter the store, you will be asked to order. As you move forward, the udon noodles are lined up in order. As you move forward, you will find a tempura corner. Choose your favorite tempura and pay. You pour your own udon soup.

When you’re done, let’s go to the eat-in space. Kamatama-yama. Hiyakake udon. Kamatama. It looks really delicious☆ The outdoor area is spacious and looks very comfortable. The road in front of the store is full of customers. They are quite lined up. The restaurant was busy, but so was the flyer. Tempura is fried continuously.

Freshly fried horse mackerel looks delicious! . The lines are even longer. The person standing at the noodle shop from now is President Yamagoe. Please pay attention to the beauty of the work. After this small one, there are two more small. Please come inside. welcome.

Sorry I made you wait. cold Tsukimi-yama and Kamama Small. Hot kake small comes. Please receive it from the front.. Please! . I have a question that has been bothering me for some time. How does the granma handle orders? . There’s usually a piece of paper somewhere that keeps track of your orders.

But in this store I can’t find it. I thought that maybe everyone was listening to the voices of the customers and understanding their orders. But, I think it would be difficult to do that because noodle shops make a lot of noise. This shop receives a lot of orders.

At the noodle shop, it is best to concentrate on the task at hand. There is no doubt that all instructions are given by the granma’s voice. Does that mean… She remember everything…? ? . Although there is only one type of udon, there are 14 different arrangements.

You can also choose the amount of udon from 1 to 4 noodles. Customers also request things like two eggs or no green onions. Is it possible to remember all of that? . The mystery only deepens… Suppose you were able to temporarily remember the orders of multiple customers.

However, it is very difficult to do orders for 1,000 or more people that way. Sometimes the udon noodles are ready all at once. Delivered in order without any mistakes. Granma) Next person please! . In the end, the mystery could not be solved until the end.

JKT’s conclusion was that the granma remembers all orders. At lunchtime, the lanes are overflowing with lines. The busyness is finally reaching its peak. President Yamagoe moves in a stable and flexible manner. Fulfills orders with fluid handling. There is no roughness in his movements and he is very supple. It’s warm and cheerful outside.

It’s a pleasant day. Coco has woken up. Looks like she took a little nap. She will go to the customer. But she came back soon. Coco doesn’t like human children. Coco seems to be afraid of being chased by loud voices. She’s gone. After a while, she came back again.

It seems like she wants to do her best. She seems a little anxious.. She approached the customer. If you touch her gently, she will get used to it quickly. If you make a loud noise and approach her, she will go away. She came out again. Apparently she’s in a good mood.

Even when a boy touched her, she remained calm. It’s okay if you are gentle and don’t shout. Everyone was healed by her cute appearance. The line has calmed down a little. Yamagoe Udon closes at 1:30 p.m. There are only about 200 people left. An operation that keeps you focused until the very end.

The work was done in a professional manner, with not even a moment’s laxity. Here is the announcement that it ends today. There were about 70 people left. It’s finally the last spurt. There are only a few people left. This is last customer order. Here! thank you! .

JKT) Thank you for your hard work! thank you! . President Yamagoe) Do you want to eat at the end? . JKT) Is it okay? thank you! . Thank you very much for your hard work. President Yamagoe) Thank you for your hard work. A cup that even makes me feel moved.

Staff: Do you also eat “Kake”? . JKT) Yes, I’ll eat it! . Is it okay to receive this amount? thank you very much! . So I also had lunch. Kamatama has the best melty taste. Kake has a firm texture and is extremely filling. Kamata Udon is something I have dreamed of.

It’s worth lining up to eat. Then again. I feel happy with the soft scent. Thank you for the meal! . The once-bustling shop became quieter and quieter. Coco sees off the last customer. She seems a little lonely when everyone goes home. Thank you for your hard work today.

Coco was scared of humans and had nowhere to go. Now she live surrounded by many people. Touching love is one of life’s great happiness. It’s exactly the same for cats and humans. Yamagoe Udon had a space full of happiness. Thank you for your wonderful time.

Thanks to Yamagoe Udon for their cooperation in videography.
