Mamakari-tei
This traditional eatery, in a 200-year-old warehouse with chunky beams and long wooden tables, is famed for the sardine-like local speciality. This tasty fish is supposed to induce bouts of uncontrollable feasting, so that people are obliged to kari (borrow) more mama (rice) from their neighbours in order to carry on with their binge. Mamakari-zushi is ¥800; lunchtime-only set meals include a mamakari teishoku for ¥2625.

Slurp back freshly made sanuki-udon (a type of wheat noodle) dishes, such as sansai udon (udon with mountain vegetables; ¥650), at this speciality restaurant back from the canal. Full set meals include a tempura teishoku for ¥1600. You can also buy noodles in the attached shop to take home and cook for yourself. Look for the purple flag on the corner with the name in white.

Bukkake Udon
In the less-than-atmospheric Bios Arcade across from the station, this local chain serves up the tasty Kurashiki udon speciality – called bukkake udon (from bukkakeru, meaning to pour or splash) because you tip the sauce over the noodles yourself. Tempura bukkake is ¥590. Or try a niku (meat) kimuchi bukkake for ¥680. Look for the sign with a ぶ in a yellow oval.
