CRAFTSMANSHIP
Dashi, noodles, ingredients.
In every bowl,
the Tsuruhan commitment.
The aroma of dashi that spreads the moment it touches your lips. Smooth noodles that slip down pleasantly. A bowl crafted to honor the character of each ingredient. At Mendokoro Tsuruhan, we spare no effort even in the simplest bowl, so you’ll always want another.
for Namba today.
OUR CRAFT
Three commitments
behind every bowl.
Dashi, noodles, ingredients.
By facing each one squarely and crafting it with care, the Tsuruhan bowl is born.
So that an ordinary mealtime becomes a moment of quiet satisfaction.
Our
Dashi
Dashi defines the bowl.
A fragrant Kansai-style dashi, made generously with soda-katsuo bonito flakes, mackerel flakes and dried sardines, is the key to our flavor. Layers of umami from each ingredient, yet a clean, refreshing finish.
Our
Noodles
Noodles crafted to bring out the dashi.
The pleasure of noodles slipping smoothly down.
And a wheat flavor that grows with every bite.
Tsuruhan’s noodles are made with their pairing with dashi as the first priority.
Whether served hot or cold, they are designed to show their full appeal.
They are the indispensable foundation of a satisfying bowl.
Our
Ingredients
The character of each ingredient, in every dish.
At Tsuruhan, we give careful attention not only to the dashi and noodles but also to the toppings and side dishes.
Freshly fried tempura, seasonal ingredients, and preparations that highlight Japanese flavors.
By drawing out the natural deliciousness of each ingredient, we elevate every bowl of udon.
So that mealtime feels a little special, we attend to every detail in every dish we serve.
Crisp and light —
the taste of tempura.
We offer tempura to enjoy alongside your udon, as well as hearty tendon (tempura rice bowls). Savor the light, crisp coating and the flavor of the ingredients.
Perfect as a side to dashi-scented udon, or as a satisfying rice dish in its own right.
Udon and tempura, each bringing out the best in the other — a truly satisfying combination.
Enjoyed together with udon,
a variety of rice dishes.
We offer rice dishes such as tendon and mini rice bowls to enjoy with our signature udon — perfect when you want to sample a few different flavors.
Something light for lunch, something substantial for dinner — choose according to your mood and appetite.
Enjoy a satisfying meal that pairs dashi-scented udon with a rice dish.
