A bowl of udon in Kobe which is worth every second of the journey to get there.

Restaurant Details

Iwashiya is located quite a walk from Taoji Station in Kobe, but despite the distance, it's always crowded with a combination of loyal customers and eager new ones. What’s a bit of a walk when at the end of it you’re treated to a bowl of fresh udon?


From the made-from-scratch soup using their very own special stock to the handmade noodles, this udon-ya takes their craft very seriously. The texture of the udon depends on the temperature and humidity when it's being kneaded and mixed, so expect a variation in size and feel. This variety actually gives the bowl of udon a new and interesting dimension.


The hiyakake udon is the dish that fully accentuates the flavors of the noodles and dashi. While the udon dishes are the highlight of Iwashiya, their sides are just as delicious, both on their own and together with the udon to elevate the flavors. Cheese balls and onigiri are just a few to name.
