It's become our weekend routine to head out for Japanese or Korean lunch, and the best place for this in Paris is Rue Saint-Anne. It's not fine dining, but popular eateries that serve steamy hot noodle soups and other nice treats at reasonable prices. However, it's popular to eat in this area, so be prepared to line up.
We decided to pay Udon Jubey a visit. Last time we had ramen (thin wheat noodle) e at Sapporo, so now it's time for udon (thich white wheat noodle), which is my favourite noodle after the Vietnamese Banh Canh (thick tapioca-rice noodle) :)
We arrived just before noon, and we escaped the queue. The friendly waitress took us downstairs, where it was more quiet than upstairs next to the tempura counter. We decided for lunch set of the day which was wasabi udon, maki and Japanese sweet omelette (tamago). I had udon tempura set.
My tempura was crunchy and not greasy. I love the dip (warm soya, raw quail egg, sesame seeds, fresh ginger, spring onion) for tempura and my natural udon. Personally I prefer udon over ramen.
