Concept :

Hana-wa-Saku is a Sanuki Udon Noodle restaurant in Tokyo, which is the 1st prize winner of the Udon Noodle championship 2017 in Eastern Japan, and also was chosen as one of the 100 best Udon restaurants on the Tabelog restaurant website in July 2018. “Hana-wa-Saku” means “flower blossom” in English. They offers Tokyo-style Sanuki Udon Noodles incorporating the essence of high-quality Japanese cuisine into reinterpreted Sanuki Udon Noodles. Following the Shin-Nakano main branch and the Shinjuku-Toyama branch, their third branch opened near Shinjuku-Gyoen in August, 2018. The restaurant has a bright and homey atmosphere to welcome families, couples and even those solo guests.

Key Points :

Aiming to become a restaurant with the best hospitality in the world, they carefully select only body-friendly ingredients such as Udon noodles made from flour produced in Japan, rich bonito soup, superb Wagyu beef, organic vegetables, agrochemical-free vegetables, and Edo Tokyo vegetables to provide dishes carefully and heartily cooked. Their Udon Noodles blend four kinds of Japanese flour with low protein that do not get hard even after cooking, creating a gelatinous texture.
