tokyo:: tsuru tontan udon in roppongi

im a creature of habit. so jen from oh my omiyage had to coerce me into this one ... which turned out to be the best thing ever! i was feeling a little "meh" that day with a tickle at the back of my throat but she convinced me that there is nothing a hot bowl of chicken soup can't fix. and she was right!


open concept kitchen! i quite like sitting at the bar and watching the chefs buzz around!


 mum's pick - nabe udon
 the servings are MASSIVE!


the husband loves his katsu curry. 
and i dug into my meal (typical...) before we could get a picture. but my favorite is kitsune udon , the classic one with one GIANT piece of sweet tofu skin.


last "TGIF" meal of the year!! :)


 the husband being a good sport. 

he is not crazy about this place cos i always send him to stand in line for a spot. (they get popular at dinnertime!) plus soupy noodles is not his kinda thing. but everytime i get to pick a restaurant, this is my go-to place!!

restaurant:: tsuru tontan
address:: 3-14-12 roppongi, minato-ku, tokyo
 tel:: 03-5786-2626

  1. yum yumm!! i haven't been here for awhile because once the cold weather hit, there's always such a long line! they gave daniel a bib? haha i always wonder why some people get bibs and some people don't. i got a bib once at a ramen shop, and i thought it was because my top was too low cut... but that can't be it if daniel got one too!!

  2. Oh! The husband and I are so in love with this place! We had it at Haneda airport when we arrived and when we left! We even bought 8 uncooked packs to bring back! We love the cold Udon best!

  8. Hi there - will be in Tokyo shortly and would love to visit this restaurant. Can you describe roughly where it is to me, or is there a map somewhere? The address means nothing to me!

    hi nick! you can find a map here

    otherwise, from the roppongi crossing, walk towards don quixote. the restaurant is right before don quixote, across from macdonalds! hard to miss!

    good luck! :)
