Nakau
Naka-U was founded in June 1969 as a handmade udon restaurant in Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture. The name "Naka-U" is derived from the Chinese character for "udon shop" and the Chinese character for "udon restaurant," which was changed to the Chinese character for "udo," which has the same pronunciation and is associated with the auspiciousness of the word "udo. The auspiciousness of the character for "卯" is that it is shaped like the double-sided door of the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy), which is both auspicious and helpful. It is also a symbol of the Chinese zodiac sign of "卯," which means "rabbit" in Japanese, and is also a wish that the company will leap forward and prosper, which is where the name "Nakau" comes from.
