About this spot
Uotami delivers a hearty bowl of udon that feels like a warm hug on a chilly Kyoto evening, served with savory dashi and tender slices of pork or chicken. The broth is rich and umami-packed, perfectly balancing the chewy texture of the noodles without feeling overly heavy.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the 'Katsu' option for a crispy fried pork cutlet that soaks up the flavorful broth beautifully.
- Skip the extra soy sauce at the table as the dashi is already seasoned to perfection.
- Grab a side of pickled vegetables (tsukemono) to cleanse your palate between bites.
