Just outside Exit 2 of Shinjuku-Gyoen Station!
This shop specializes in chewy udon noodles made with a pressure cooker method. 🫓🍜

✅Mentaiko Cream Udon 960 yen
Our #1 most popular dish⃣,
This udon features a rich white dashi cream soup and Hakata Kanefuku mentaiko, the perfect complement. 👀

Topped with a variety of toppings, including green onions, shiso leaves, deep-fried nagaimo yam, roasted sesame seeds, and maitake mushrooms,
it's delicious to the last bite. 🎶
(The nagaimo and maitake mushrooms were especially delicious. 🤤)

The chewy noodles are homemade, with a high water content. 👀
This texture is apparently achieved by boiling them using a unique pressure cooker method. ✨✨

I visited just after lunch, and the shop was packed, proving just how popular it is. 🙃
Next time, I'd like to try the tempura, too. 🥰️
