Kagawa

Kagawa is a restaurant in Tokyo celebrating the culinary traditions of Kagawa Prefecture, the smallest of Japan's 47 prefectures and the gateway to the island of Shikoku. The restaurant is best known for its Sanuki udon, the thick, chewy wheat noodles that have made Kagawa Prefecture famous across Japan for centuries. Prepared according to regional methods, the noodles are served in a clear dashi broth made from iriko, the small dried sardines that define the local style and distinguish it from udon traditions elsewhere in the country.

Alongside its food, the restaurant currently offers the JR All Shikoku Rail Pass, a travel pass granting unlimited rail travel across the four prefectures of Shikoku island. The pass connects visitors to Kagawa, Ehime, Kochi, and Tokushima, making it a practical starting point for anyone planning a journey through the region whose food and culture this Tokyo restaurant brings to the table.
