Why go
Tabelog 100 udon shop in Daikumachi with 117 seats, counter and tatami options, and a sub-JPY 999 lunch price. Reservations accepted, cash only, closed Wednesday and Thursday. The format is cafeteria-practical rather than intimate, but the Kagawa recognition and low cost make it a functional midday stop for travelers prioritizing affordability and local texture over polished dining rooms.

Restaurant context
At under JPY 999 for lunch, this Tabelog 100 address undercuts Honetsukidori Ranmaru (JPY 3,000–3,999) and sits far below Sushi Nakagawa (JPY 20,000–29,999). The decision depends on whether you're chasing noodle texture at everyday prices or want a more curated dining experience. For udon specifically, compare against Furukawa Udon and Furusato Udon, all three occupy the same sub-JPY 1,000 band and compete on consistency and accessibility. The 117-seat capacity here (including a banquet hall) makes it easier to book for groups than most udon counters, though the cafeteria format sacrifices intimacy.
If you want a step up in ambiance without leaving the udon category, look at Chikusei Honten or Azuma, both of which offer more refined service at slightly higher price points. For non-udon options in Takamatsu, Honetsukidori Ranmaru delivers a different regional specialty (bone-in chicken) at triple the cost, while ミオ・パエーゼ and 両忘 shift the format entirely. The practical recommendation: book here if you want Tabelog-recognized noodles without stretching your daily meal budget, and save the higher-tier slots for dinner elsewhere.
