Menkyo Kaiden

Menkyo Kaiden lets visitors compare another version of Yoshida udon without leaving Fujiyoshida. The local specialty keeps the region’s thick, resilient noodles, but the city guide describes the texture here as somewhat softer than Miura’s. The menu information on the municipal tourism listing includes beef, chikuwa tempura, wakame seaweed and other toppings, allowing diners to match the bowl to their appetite and preferences.

The shop is at 1-4-58 Kamiyoshida Higashi, about an 11-minute walk from Fujisan Station according to the tourism directory; parking is also available. Reviews appreciate the range of toppings, the noodles and the efficient pace for groups. Lunchtime can bring a wait, and the restaurant keeps the simple feel of a regional udon shop. Check the menu when you arrive, as some instructions may be available only in Japanese.

Fujiyoshida’s official tourism listing gives hours of 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and Sunday closure. The service window is short, so plan lunch before two and check for holiday changes. The location is walkable from the station, although local transport or a car can make it easier to reach other Mount Fuji-area stops.

The comparison with Miura is practical: Miura serves a firmer noodle and opens earlier; Menkyo Kaiden starts at eleven and offers a wider range of toppings. Both show why the city guide encourages visitors to try more than one shop rather than treating Yoshida udon as a single fixed recipe. For a short visit, choose according to timing, appetite and transport.
