Known for its superior, handmade udon noodles, this eatery takes its name both from the Akita prefecture village (Inaniwa) where the noodle recipe comes from and the local family (Yosuke) that preserved the recipe for centuries. It is said to have been developed back in 1665 and for a long time was for the exclusive use of the imperial family. In 1860 it became available to the public, and since 2016, Singaporeans can enjoy it at Japan Food Town. Every part of the process is handmade, and it takes four days to finish a batch. The flagship store in Singapore imports its udon directly from the Inaniwa factory, and the clientele here is a mix of Japanese expats and Singaporeans, fans of the restaurant’s thinner and smoother variation.
