Ise Udon

History of Sanguu Udon

Ise udon is a local food served to pilgrims since the Edo period. The very thick noodles cooked for a long time are soft and fluffy, completely opposite in texture to the "firm" texture of ordinary udon.

Distinctive Sauce

The black sauce is a rich blend of tamari soy sauce base with mirin and kelp dashi. The basic eating style involves mixing a small amount of sauce into the noodles, different from ordinary udon soaked in broth.

Food Walking at Okage Yokocho

Multiple Ise udon restaurants at Okage Yokocho in front of the Inner Shrine allow easy enjoyment before or after worship, beloved by tourists as one of Ise's three great foods alongside tekone sushi and Akafuku.

Home Recreation

Dry noodles, fresh noodles, and sauce sets are sold as Ise souvenirs, allowing home recreation of authentic flavors, popular as travel mementos.
