Once you try Kosendo's broth, you won't want to go to any other Inaniwa udon place.
It's seriously that delicious, and you really can't go wrong here!!!
They have all kinds of udon on the menu, and the small rice set dishes are excellent too.
They also offer local beer, sake, and iburigakko.
The service is very polite, and the atmosphere is fantastic.
If this place were closer, I'd probably come back again and again...

Agodashi Inaniwa Udon Kosendo
Enjoy Inaniwa udon with the fragrant aroma of flying fish stock in a traditional house over 200 years old.
Agodashi Inaniwa Udon Kosendo serves Inaniwa udon made with flavorful flying fish stock. The noodles come from Makabeya, a long-established noodle maker in Akita. This specialty restaurant is dedicated to carefully selected ingredients, with a focus on local produce.
The signature dish is Inaniwa udon, known for its refined, flavorful broth. The menu features dozens of options, including Ume Oboro Inaniwa Udon, topped with a large Nanko plum and fragrant shredded kelp. Seasonal dishes also appear, such as chilled Inaniwa udon with 11 condiments in summer and starchy Inaniwa udon with oysters and maitake mushrooms in winter. You can also enjoy Akita specialties like iburigakko, smoked pickled daikon, with local sake.
The restaurant is housed in a renovated building that was once a temple school and is over 200 years old. The charming interior, lined with antiques and other items, is part of the appeal. Located along Bukeyashiki Street, which still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period (1603–1867), it is a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal before or after exploring the area.
