The one bowl to order

Udon-suki: udon hot pot

The line to expect: Book a table; it is a sit-down meal, not a counter.

Mimiu invented udon-suki in 1928: a hot pot of thick udon, chicken, clams and vegetables cooked at the table.

40 min · 2. Osaka's comfort bowl: thick, chewy udon in a light dashi with a sheet of sweet-simmered fried tofu. Frozen sanuki udon is excellent and how most Japanese homes do it.
