  11. Godaime Hanayama Udon Ginza

    restaurant

    3-chōme-14-13 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0061, Japan

    Number ten is the udon set at Kodaimi Hanayama in Tokyo. These extra wide udon noodles are served cold and you dip them right into the sauces. They're so incredibly chewy. I've never had any texture like them. They also come with some delightful tempura as well. And pro tip, the line gets crazy here so get there early. And second pro tip, they actually sell the udon right in their store so stock up after you eat inside.

  12. MooKEN

    cafe

    Japan, 〒542-0085 Osaka, Chuo Ward, Shinsaibashisuji, 1-chōme−5−２６ Ｒｉｐｐｌｕ 日宝 大阪屋ビル

    Number nine might have the longest line out of any spot on the list. It's all for these little crispy cream puff donuts. This spot is called Mooken in Osaka. These aren't your average cream puffs. They're delightfully light, crispy, almost caramelly. One bite in and I know exactly why they're so famous among Osaka locals and why they sell it every day.
