Food at poketto

Udon is the main draw. The mentaiko udon has a creamy cod roe sauce, shimeji mushrooms and a soft, thick noodle, and one regular says the niku udon is light but filling. Mentaiko melt on shokupan toast and onigiri suit a snack. One visitor found the mentaiko udon rich enough that sharing suits better than eating it alone.
