Situated right near Shinjukugyoen-mae Station, Kunugiya Shinjukugyoen is an udon shop renowned for its novel "mochi udon" cooked rapidly in a pressure cooker. By boiling a proprietary flour blend at high temperatures, the resulting noodles are smooth on the surface, soft and chewy, yet possess a resilient, bouncy texture. They pair harmoniously with dashi (Japanese soup stock) carefully brewed from kelp and dried fish flakes, and the pollock roe cream udon—featuring noodles thoroughly coated in a rich, creamy sauce—is also highly regarded. Furthermore, freshly fried tempura, such as shrimp and chicken tempura, offers an enjoyable light crispiness, with tabletop glass shrimp salt bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients. The bright, immaculate interior accented in white features counter seats, making it welcoming and convenient for solo dining during lunch or on the way home from work.
