Omen

A local udon institution near Ginkaku-ji, built around one dish: thick handmade udon served with a warm dipping broth and a plate of seasonal vegetables and sesame to add yourself. Simple and unpretentious.

Expect a short wait at peak lunch times; it's a popular stop after the Philosopher's Path. A bowl runs roughly ¥1,300–1,800. Casual seating, quick turnover, no reservations typically needed outside of peak season.
