If you want to eat handmade udon noodles in Tokyo, this restaurant is recommended. If you enjoy the texture of handmade udon, you should order the cold udon. Don't forget to try the cold udon with seaweed wasabi soup. Scallop tempura can be ordered as an option. For those who don't like cold udon, there is also hot udon.

I order the tempura udon which is recommended in this restaurant, the tempura is one of the best I’ve ever tried, crispy but not oily at all, and can taste the freshness in veggie.

This place is a hidden gem. Very cozy. Great udon. Also lots of interesting small dishes. Not super cheap but fair price. Highly recommend.
