Miyoshi

The absolute best Udon restaurant in the Kanagawa prefecture! The noodles are made fresh right in front of you and taste amazing. Sake is excellent.
My wife and I lived in Japan for three years and this was a staple when visiting Kamakura.

An hour away by train from Tokyo lies Kamakura. Town filled with shrines and tombs of great men and the giant Buddha.
About a block away from the train station is a long street that leads to the biggest shrine in the area. This long strip has all the souvenirs you need to get before boarding that train back to Tokyo. And food choices are also abundant. Abundant enough that we didn’t know what to eat when it was time to pick.
We chose Kamakura Udon. Located in a small cluster of restaurants along the strip. It’s a small place that fits about 12, 15 maybe patrons. Bar seating around the stove/​kitchen. You can definitely see as food was prepared.
Their menu is small. Consists of udon and tempura and grouped into combinations of either udon with tempura or just tempura or just udon. We ordered their hot udon combo. Noodles were separated from what seem to be a broth with small pieces of chicken. Take the noodles and dip in the small bowl of broth then start slurping. We opted not to get their tempura but it does look quite appetizing.
Friendly service as always.
Cost a bit on the pricey side compared to ramen.

After a walk through old Shrines and temples, make sure you make a visit on the shopping strip and slurp up some udon. You will be disrespecting them if you don’t make a proper slurp.
Comes with udon served in a separate bowl. Choice of tempura we decided not to go with.
