Kamaiki

The store is so small! There is a long table with customers sitting opposite each other, a typical Japanese movie style of a small restaurant or tavern. There is no decoration on the wall, two or three chefs, two or three waiters. The texture and taste of the udon noodles are really good, with a strong noodle aroma. The tempura prawns are large and a little alkaline, so I have to reduce the score. The best dish is their signature casserole vegetable noodles.

Foraging for Nara’s Kamakura Essence Location: Within Nara Town Environment: The store is really small. The small table is only suitable for 2 people. Anyone with more than 2 people will be seated at the big long table. When I finally went there, I found that there were 2-3 tables inside, but I guess it would be easier to call the waiter. It was difficult because there were only two waiters at the time, and they had to serve the food, clear the tables, and collect payment. Menu: You can ask the clerk for a Chinese menu. There are not many menu choices, and the main menu is udon. If you like strong flavor, you can choose tempura curry udon. For tempura ingredients, you can choose chicken, fish cake, and shrimp. If you like a lighter taste, you can choose the clear soup base. I chose the chicken fish cake tempura udon, which was delicious, the meat was tender, and the udon was chewy. You may have to wait for a table to eat. It seems that it is mainly Chinese and Korean tourists who come to eat. The price is about 1,000 yen.

The grilled salmon, with its pan-fried skin, was a bit sweet. After the eel and tofu, it was a bit greasy. To be honest, the side dishes weren't particularly impressive. I think a set meal would be a safe bet for a future visit.

The udon here is delicious! I highly recommend the curry series, it's amazing! The shop is small and the environment is nice!

At Kamai's main store, the udon noodles are super chewy, the freshly fried tempura is very fragrant, and the atmosphere of a Japanese shop is perfect.
