Sanuki udon is a type of udon noodle originally popularized in the Kagawa Prefecture (Shikoku) but is now easily found throughout the neighboring Kansai region and much of Japan. It is characterized by its square shape and flat edges. Oishii is a species of large sea snail that can be found in the region, but in this case is a Japanese transcription of adjective 'delicious'.

Takamatsu is the capital city of the prefecture and the local Ritsurin Garden is one of the most famous historical gardens in Japan. The garden contains a tea house, various folk art and craft exhibits; in the garden itself there are various bridges, footpaths and small hills which offer a beautiful view of the garden and the surrounding scenery.
