About

Homemade Slightly Thin Noodles: TANO KYU

Our first-generation owner, originally from Tanomachi, Komatsushima City, had a deep love for udon. During his salaryman days in sales, he apparently ate at a different udon shop every single day. Not content with just the options in Tokushima Prefecture, he frequently traveled to Kagawa Prefecture as well. At the age of 40, driven by an overwhelming desire to create the udon he truly wanted to eat, he made a firm decision to leave his corporate job. He trained at udon restaurants in both Tokushima and Kagawa Prefectures, finally opening the current shop in 1984.
He dedicated himself to perfecting delicious udon with a slightly thin, slippery, and subtly chewy texture. He also created a unique broth recipe with a slightly stronger sardine flavor and a more pronounced soy sauce profile. This original recipe has been faithfully preserved and continues to be used today.

1. "Additive-free and safe for children"

Our homemade broth and noodles are made without any chemical seasonings. Wealso strive to use other ingredients that are free from additives like artificial colors.We use authentic Naruto wakame (seaweed) harvested from the Naruto Strait, andall our beef and pork are domestically sourced. Our rice and vegetables come fromTokushima Prefecture. We take the time and effort to prepare each of these localingredients in our shop.

2. "Plenty of Freshly Made Deliciousness"

Our tempura and fried chicken are made fresh to order. This means there might be a slight wait, but it's worth it! Plus, our menu items, both udon and donburi, are about 1.3 times larger than what your'd find at a typical restaurant, ensuring youi'll leave feeling full and satisfied.

3. "Bringing the deliciousness of Tokushima ingredients to the world"

They actively use ingredients that are unique to Tokushima, such as Naruto wakame seaweed udon noodles harvested in the authentic Naruto region, and raw whitebait rice bowls from Wadajima.

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.
