(Miso-nikomi)Udon in Nagoya

Again, another food in Nagoya. A friend of mine who lives in Gifu where is next to Aichi prefecture took me to a restaurant that is famous for Udon.
Udon is a pretty common food in western part of Japan, but this type of Udon is barely seen. First of all, the soup is dark because of miso-base. This miso-nikomi-Udon (Miso stewed Udon) is another Nagoya food.

The taste of the soup was not salty as looks. The udon was very thick and sticky. I almost thought it was not well boiled.

What I like the most in this restaurant was the pickles that they served as appetizer, which is not shown in the picture though. They were very lightly seasoned and nice texture.

The name of the restaurant is Yamamotoyama. According to my friend, it is very famous around here so everybody in Nagoya knows if somebody want to find it.
