2. What to know when choosing nabeyaki udon and ramen in Matsuyama
The 2 nabeyaki udon shops open at 10:00 in the morning and close in the early afternoon. Kotori says on its Instagram profile that it closes when the noodles run out, so on some days it ends before closing time. You cannot eat there if you arrive in Minatomachi in the evening, so plan to go in the morning or early afternoon.
The shops are in three areas. Minatomachi (Kotori, Asahi, Maru, Men to Mukatte Katsuo) is around Matsuyama-shi Station and the Gintengai arcade. Okaido (Kuraki) is near Iyotetsu’s Okaido tram stop. Nibancho and Sanbancho (Tonchinkan, Bancho Seimen, Orni, Ushimitsu) are streets with many evening restaurants. KANEOKA RAMEN (Takasagocho), Kurume Tonkotsu Ramen Matsuyama Bunko and Noppin Ramen (Chuo) are away from the busy downtown.
Closed days differ by shop. On Mondays Kuraki and Men to Mukatte Katsuo are closed, on Wednesdays Kotori and Matsuyama Bunko, and on Sundays Maru, Bancho Seimen and Orni. KANEOKA RAMEN is mainly closed on Tuesdays and announces its monthly closed days on its Instagram. Three shops have no regular closed day: Noppin Ramen, Tonchinkan and Ushimitsu.
