Takamatsu Goemon, Black Curry Udon in the midnight

Kagawa citizens eat udon many times a day

I don’t have much experience eating udon twice a day. However, it seems to be quite normal in Kagawa prefecture. It’s already after drinking. It’s not ramen, soba, Okinawa soba, or steak.

Kobaba, a downtown area of Takamatsu City. If you ask where the udon is after drinking, everyone will answer “Tsurumaru”. Tsurumaru is also good. But I want to eat at Goemon. Moreover, last time I came to Goemon, it was regrettable that the black curry udon was sold out.

I challenged low carb diet

The ” low carb diet” is popular in Japan. Last year, I also tried my best for about 3 months. I halved my breakfast. At lunch, I ate only two meals. I didn’t eat carbs at night. I didn’t eat noodles even when I went to a popular ramen shop. Even though I ordered a set meal, I only ate side dishes. At home, I had a protein-oriented diet centered on eggs, cheese, meat, fish, tofu and leafy vegetables.

Apparently I lost weight after two months. However, my stomach came out and I gained weight. Three months later, when the body composition was measured with a body composition meter, the total fat amount was increased because the visceral fat was increased while the body fat was decreased. Muscle mass decreased. A blood test shows that creatinine is extremely low. The attending physician who saw the test results said. “That? Do you have less muscle?” I was surprised.

Probably because my intake of carbohydrates has decreased extremely. My brain misunderstood that I was starving. And my body is in savings mode. My internal organs stored fat. My tummy grew big.

A big mistake with a low carb diet

So, when I ate a diet that contained a lot of carbohydrates, I finally lost weight. My body has also stopped losing muscle and body fat, but not visceral fat. I learned dumbbell exercises to reduce visceral fat and worked hard for 3 months. As a result, my waist is bigger than before. This is because the visceral fat did not decrease and the abs were attached. I am miserable.

I had no choice but to borrow the power of modern medicine. So I tried to take Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s Nisitol, which I had always been interested in. The main ingredient of this medicine was a Chinese herbal medicine called “Boufutsushosan” when I checked it online. What’s more, I found the Chinese medicine “Tsumura No. 62”, which contains twice as much of this ingredient. A drug that requires a prescription. When I consulted with my doctor, it was possible to obtain this herbal medicine because it was indicated for high blood pressure. I have been taking high blood pressure medication for 10 years.

Hand-made Udon Goemon

At midnight I entered Goemon.

I took a seat and took off my jacket. I ordered a drink and looked at the menu. One person firmly refuses to eat udon.

“I have a problem. I’ve gained 8 kilos in the last two years.”

Why don’t you really eat? Our talks have begun on which curry udon to eat.

“I’m normal.”
“No, it’s black curry.”
“Black habanero curry udon with hot-drum cheese topping!”
“Yamakake Udon”
“Isn’t it curry udon?”

I’m not a hot spicy fan, but I like spicy food. I chose black Habanero. Everyone worries me that it’s incredibly painful. I’m looking forward to it. But I’m worried about what to do if it’s hot.

Kagawa citizens also eat oden at udon shops

One person said.

“We should also eat oden.”

The udon shop in Takamatsu has an oden made from flying fish soup stock. It’s a style of waiting for udon while eating oden. Put your favorite material on a plate and sprinkle with miso sauce. It’s basically self-service.

Kagawa citizens cannot win the temptation of udon

At first the Yamakake Udon noodles came out. Yamakake means pounded yam potato. It looks good I feel refreshed and gently flow into my rough stomach. The yam protects the mucous membrane of the stomach and gives a refreshing feeling tomorrow morning. However, curry also has an intestinal regulating effect. I told myself that I would eat curry, black habanero curry.

Then came the curry udon. The menu says that the difference from black curry udon is Japanese style or Western style. Japanese style is traditional Japanese yellow curry. Ah? You didn’t eat udon, didn’t you? It was a person who stubbornly refused udon who stuck to curry udon.He said while eating udon.

“Because I was hungry.”

The hungry Kagawa people eat udon naturally. It’s not normal udon. Appetizing, fragrant curry udon. Kagawa citizens who do not eat this in front of them cannot exist in this world as much as antimatter.

I’m sure. For Kagawa citizens, the diet cannot beat Udon. He had finished eating before my udon came. It’s a great fast eat. He must have been very hungry.

The black curry udon was delicious

Finally, the black habanero udon I ordered, soft-boiled egg and cheese toppings came. I stir with chopsticks and eat without hesitation. Ah, while thinking that I should skip breakfast tomorrow, I will enjoy the chewy udon wrapped in rich flavor and exciting spices. good. Cheese topping adds further depth, spices intertwine with soft-boiled eggs to enhance the sweetness.

One told me.

“Can you give me one?”

I set a piece of black udon in his plate. He took it to his mouth.

“Wow, spicy! What is this?”

Exaggerated. It’s spicy. Another one said.

“For me too.”

I picked up a piece of udon as before.

“What?! Spicy! Are you seriously not spicy?”
“Eh? It’s spicy. It’s not too spicy.”
“Seriously? You are a really hot maniac…”

It’s rude to a maniac to say that it’s such a hot mania.

Kagawa Prefecture is an area not suitable for dieting. The food here is basically fast eating of carbohydrates. Every time people eat udon, their blood sugar level rises sharply. No, because of this diet, there are many diabetic patients in Kagawa prefecture. It’s the worst 3 in Japan. It seems that the staple food shortens the life.

Still, let’s dare say, we eat udon!
