Cold Mentaiko Soy Sauce Udon

Duck Soup Udon

¥1580.00

Rich and savory udon in a clear dashi broth with succulent slices of duck and roasted leeks.

Tip: You can choose your noodle thickness: 'Hoso' (thin) or 'Futo' (thick). For the duck soup, go with the thick noodles—they hold up better against the savory broth. The portion size is huge, so you definitely won't need a side.

Two-Flavor Seiro Udon

¥1800.00

Chilled Inaniwa udon served with traditional soy-based dashi and a creamy sesame dipping sauce.

Tip: Try the first bite with just the soy dashi to taste the wheat. Then move to the sesame sauce—it's very rich and flavor-dense. These noodles are thinner than what you're used to, so eat them in large mouthfuls to appreciate the texture.

Kamatama Udon with Butter and Pepper

¥1400.00

Indulgent 'carbonara-style' udon served with premium butter, fresh black pepper, and a raw egg yolk.

Tip: Mix the egg yolk immediately while the noodles are piping hot! It creates a silky sauce that coats every strand. Add a splash of the provided soy sauce to highlight the savory notes of the butter.

Cold Dashi Udon with Tempura

¥1600.00

Signature freshly cut chilled noodles served with a clear soy dashi and crispy seasonal tempura.

Tip: This is non-negotiable for noodle lovers. The cold noodles have a much more pronounced 'chew' than the hot versions. The tempura is breaded in an unusually light batter—eat it immediately while it's still crackling.

Tempura Seiro

¥2400.00

Chilled Inaniwa udon served with a variety of light, crispy seasonal tempura.

Tip: The tempura is very delicate. Dip it lightly into the dashi sauce—don't soak it, or you'll lose that perfect golden crunch.

Creamy Mentaiko Udon

¥1450.00

Udon in a rich, velvety cream broth with spicy pollack roe and shiso.

Tip: This is very rich! If you're a pair, order one creamy bowl and one clear dashi bowl to share. The mentaiko flavor is strong and delicious, but the cream can be overwhelming by the end of the giant bowl.

Kyoto-Style Clear Dashi Udon

¥450.00

Traditional udon featuring a light, refined seafood broth and chewy house-made noodles.

Tip: The broth is the star here! It's much lighter than standard Tokyo versions. Try it with just a touch of the provided ginger to highlight the sweetness of the seafood. It pairs perfectly with their small tempura sides.
