Yamamoto Udon Izakaya
Discover the timeless art of Japanese udon at Yamamoto Udon Izakaya in Melbourne's CBD, where centuries-old Edo period recipes meet modern craftsmanship. Indulge in handcrafted Himokawa and Sanuki udon, paired with rich, flavourful broths for a truly authentic dining experience.
With 1,200 years of udon heritage behind it, Yamamoto is devoted to authentic Edo period cuisine.
The restaurant specialises in two iconic styles of udon noodles: Himokawa Udon from Gunma - prized for its wide, flat shape and silky-smooth texture (once a delicacy reserved for emperors and shoguns); and Sanuki Udon from Kagawa, with a satisfying, bouncy firmness and a legacy stretching back over 1,200 years. Every bowl is handcrafted using techniques passed down through generations of Japanese.
Yamamoto Udon is more than just a restaurant - it’s a journey through the history, culture, and artistry of Japanese cuisine. From the delicate preparation of the noodles to the warm, inviting atmosphere of our dining space, every detail is designed to transport you to the heart of Japan.
