丸亀製麺- Marugame Noodle Shop
176沿えの丸亀製麺のうどんはとても新鮮で美味しい！三田周辺でお住まいの方は是非一度行ってみて下さい！
Recently Sho-chan and I have become enamoured of a new noodle-shop on Rte. 176 It's called Marugame Seimen, and they have udon, udon and more udon.
What's unique about this shop is that they actually make the noodles right in front of you. The front 3rd of the restaurant is a noodle-making kitchen where you can watch a battalion of immaculately-clad noodlistas ply their trade. There are several different work stations, from dough-making, rolling, stretching, cutting and boiling, so you can see every step of the process and know that your noodles are super-fresh.
And are they fresh! They have the best udon I've ever had, and it's boiled to a perfect al-dente. They have about 10 different styles of udon, but my current favorite is kama-age udon. Kama-age udon is noodles served in hot water which you then dip into a hot broth filled with ginger and green onions. Yummy, yummy, yummy! It's Sho-chan's favorite too. They also have a variety of seafood and vegetable tempura.
Anyone living in the area should go and check it out!

Where exactly on route 176 is that place? Sounds like a nice experience but I am bound to either train or bicycle and the 176 goes on to at least Takarazuka
Hi wally! Have we met before? If not welcome to my blog.
Marugame is on 176 through Sanda almost directly behind Sanda Honmachi station and across the road and little ways up from Tsutaya Video Rental shop.
Ah, honmachi is the first stop after sanda station on the honkyu line isn't it. I should be able to find that.
I did post a small question with an even smaller intro on your post regarding the salty white chocolate kitkat. But I never heard anything from that. . . . How rude :P
Aha! I just went back and checked it now. You commented in March on something I wrote in January.
Since I don't have blogger set up to notify me of new comments, I never saw it. Maybe I should set it up that way.
You mentioned you're living in Woodytown, so you should take the Kobe dentetsu from Woodytown to honmachi. If you turn onto the street between the station and the big 'Japan' shop the udon place is right in front of you.
In your March post you asked about night life in Sanda and I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. My husband and I don't really go out drinking or clubbing. We're more the stay-at-home and play with our dog types....
There is a small shot bar near our house (on the Shimagatani intersection of the Sanda Kansen) called Loco, but I've never been there so I can't vouch for the atmosphere.
Yeah, I figured something like that had happened. I contemplated posting somewhere newer, but then Life threw something in my face and I forgot about this blog for a while.
I've found Loco. Lacking mostly, but I found it. I should maybe give it a go again as the last time it was really cold out, people tend to be more socialbe in this weather.
I am no longer looking for active social life in Sanda, just some decent restaurants for my remaining 2 months. I have found a few of those, nothing close to where I live of course but I could do with an Indian Restaurant recommendation if you have any
Wally-
I know several good Indian restaurants in the Kansai, but only one in Sanda.
In the food court of the Daiei in flowertown there is a small curry shop run by an Indian family. The curries are all pretty mild, but the price is good.
If you go out to Osaka, you might want to try Banjara, which is located behind Kinokuniya bookstore in Umeda Station. The tomato soup there is the best I've ever had and the atmosphere is nice.
If you're out in Sannomiya, Sona Rupa a little ways past the kobe day-spa is excellent and the owner is a very friendly Bengali man who speaks fluent English.
If you want clearer directions for any of those, let me know.
I checked out the noodle shop. It was nice to see them working on those noodles. The food itself was not impressive, but very cheap and watching an open kitchen is always fun. It took me a little while to find it though. I took a different road from the station and could see a DVD neon off to the right. This, surely, was Tsutaya. I followed the road past the MIR amusement park to find . . . . the adult DVD store. That is certainly a good find. Nice to know we have one of those.
I'll see if I can locate the Indian place when next it rains.
I normally take my bicycle from 新三田駅 to the dorm, if it rains I take the bus or use it as an excuse to see 三田, 新無し and take the woodytown chuou home. An indian eatery in Flowertown fits nicely in that setup. Daiei is the same building as the station right?
