Tomiya 토미야

Handmade udon specialist Tomiya is managed by a chef featured on the television program Life's Master. The signature dish, toriten bukkake udon, features cold noodles topped with crispy chicken tempura. The restaurant defines itself through the contrast between the firm texture of hand-pulled strands and the light, delicate batter of the chicken. Each noodle varies in thickness due to the manual cutting process. The house-made broth uses a katsuobushi base to create a salty, savory profile. For a different style, the kashiwaten zaru provides a concentrated dipping sauce. Hot udon options maintain balanced seasoning and the noodles stay firm throughout the meal. Side dishes include shrimp tempura with a natural sweetness and bouncy texture, alongside tonkatsu and inari sushi. Located at 14 Cheongsaseo-ro in Daejeon, the menu is priced between 8,000 and 9,000 won. The texture of the noodles is significantly chewier than average, which is an important consideration for anyone preferring softer food. Wait times typically range from 10 to 50 minutes, starting immediately after doors open even on weekdays. Proximity to Galma Station makes the location easily accessible via public transportation.
