What to know
At Asakusa Shinkuro, the kamaage udon is the main draw, which you can watch being freshly made in the open kitchen. The noodles are served hot from the pot, allowing you to savor their chewy texture and subtle wheat flavor. Dipping sauces range from classic dashi to more inventive seasonal creations. Because seating is limited in this cozy restaurant, arriving early is recommended, especially during the lunch rush.
