Hanamaru Udon

Hanamaru Udon is a chain shop near Tokyo Station's Yaesu North Exit and Nihonbashi Station that serves Sanuki-style udon and tempura. The chewy noodles come with broth made from anchovies, mackerel flakes, bonito flakes, and kelp, as in ontama bukkake and cold kake. The shop is in a basement with counter and table seating, and customers pick their tempura before ordering udon. It gets crowded with office workers at weekday lunch.
