¥800
While walking from the Imperial Palace Grounds on my way to Meiji Jingu Shrine, I started to get hungry. Fortunately, I found this handmade udon restaurant en route to the shrine.
The area was a bit difficult to locate as I circled the building and searched for signs. Turns out it was just hidden away on the basement floor. Luckily for me, there was no wait, and I was seated immediately by the counter overlooking the hardworking chef preparing every customer’s orders.
As someone who loves cold udon, I was excited as I saw Taru Chicken Tempura Bukkake Udon, but unfortunately, they sold out 🙁
Instead, I ordered their Kamatama Udon, and my disappointment subsided. Unlike most udon I’ve had, the noodles were very thin. Despite that, each noodle still had a good chew and bounce to it. The egg added richness and creaminess to the light broth. The spring onions gave a nice crunch and fragrance to the dish.
I couldn’t stop eating. It was definitely a nice lunch on my trek in Tokyo.
