Introduction

Gomennasai

I absolutely adore slightly thin, soft udon noodles right out of the pot. Their slender shape really soaks up the delicious broth. But I also crave just a little bit of chewiness. With these thoughts in mind, I put my heart and soul into making noodles every single day.

If you're a fan of "Naruchuru Udon" (super-soft, almost mushy udon) or the super-thick Sanuki-style udon, you might want to look elsewhere. We apologize!

Our pride and joy is our broth, which has a wonderfully nostalgic flavor. We make it fresh in our shop daily using only domestic ingredients: Hokkaido kelp, bonito flakes, dried sardines, mackerel flakes, and more. We then combine it with a blend of several types of soy sauce and mirin that we've carefully aged. And of course, we never use any chemical seasonings or pre-made broth concentrates.

As for our tempura, fresh is best. That's why we fry it only after you place your order. We're sorry if you have to wait a little!

Established in 1984, we're an old-fashioned, full-service shop. The third generation is currently in training.

The old Japanese folk tale "Tanokyu" is a story from Tanomachi, Komatsushima City, the birthplace of our first-generation owner. We apologize if it's a bit too local!

Homemade slightly thin noodles "Tanokyu"

TA NO KYU

"Tano Kyu" was founded by the first-generation owner who left his office job after training at udon restaurants in Tokushima and Kagawa. Initially, we only offered various udon dishes, chirashi sushi, and inari sushi.

Over forty years later, our menu has expanded significantly. We now offer udon and donburi where you can choose the number of shrimp tempura you'd like, as well as homemade fried chicken donburi and set meals. We're always adding new items to meet our customers' needs.

Even with the trends of handmade udon and Sanuki udon booms, and self-service udon becoming the norm, we stubbornly stick to our traditional style. Our broth and noodles still follow the original recipes from our founder.
