All Reviews of Michi-no-eki Daiku-no-sato

In Japan, roadside stations are a great way to get to know the local food.
While doing the Tokushima pilgrimage, I took a little detour to Michi-no-eki Daiku-no-sato and tried a bowl of Naruto udon. Unlike Sanuki udon, the noodles are flat and irregular, more like plain wheat noodles. With a light, refreshing broth and local specialties like chikuwa fish cake and wakame, it was easy to keep taking bite after bite—even in the summer heat.

The most famous local specialties in Tokushima, Shikoku are the original Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes, Naruto seaweed, and authentic sweet potato shochu, among others. They're all regional exclusives, so before I knew it, I ended up buying a whole box! 😅
