The beacon that is visible from afar.
Udon with wakame.
Yamada Udon is probably the cheapest next alternative to Yoshinoya and Sukiya's gyudon. When I lived in Tokyo for about six months, I have never seen any Yamada Udon restaurants. Some of my colleagues say that Yamada Udon can be mostly found in provinces and "far-flung areas." Cruel to describe as the word far-flung but once you can find this Udon shop, its a real haven if you are really up for eating udon, soba and rice-bowl dishes. Udon and Rice-bowl set meals would range from 400 to 600 a meal. They even have one-coin set meals worth 500 yen.
For most intercity highways in Japan, a beacon of Yamada Udon can be found almost every several kilometers. So, if you are on a joyride to the so-called inaka, do not miss this stop and savour their udon. It's worth coming back.

Wow. Those dishes look amazing. I especially would like to try the udon with nakame (hope I spelled that right!). Your pics are so clear. When I enlarged them, it looked like the dish was right in front of me!
