Refreshing Summer Udon Arrives at Yamashita Honki Udon
As the summer heatwave approaches, Yamashita Honki Udon, operated by Garden Co., Ltd., is set to introduce two delightful cold udon dishes. Available for a limited time from July 1 to August 31, 2025, these new menu items aim to provide a refreshing culinary experience during the hottest months of the year.
Introducing the New Dishes
1. Plum and Aonori Chicken Tempura Bukkake Udon
This dish takes the classic chicken tempura bukkake udon to a new level by adding high-quality aonori seaweed from Lake Hamana and delicately processed plum. Priced at ¥950 (tax included), it's presented as a light and refreshing meal that perfectly complements the summer season.
2. Chilled Pork Shabu Shabu Bukkake Udon
Enjoy the exquisite pairing of chilled pork shabu shabu with a ponzu sauce made from Kyoto's rich and creamy Shogoin turnip and grated momijioroshi (red leaf radish). This dish features tender pork accompanied by a slightly luxurious ponzu, providing a meal that satisfies your taste buds while staying refreshingly cool this summer. Priced similarly at ¥950 (tax included), it brings a unique twist to traditional udon.
Both dishes will be available across all Yamashita Honki Udon locations, ensuring that customers can easily get a taste of these flavorful summer creations. Note that prices may vary by location.
About Yamashita Honki Udon
Founded in 2012 by Yamashita, the restaurant originally started near Meguro Station and has since transformed into a beloved udon establishment known for its passionate dedication to crafting authentic Sanuki-style udon. After entering a licensing agreement in June 2017, the brand underwent trademark acquisition and established a self-branded identity while expanding its reach.
Yamashita Honki Udon prides itself on using carefully selected wheat, which is freshly made and aged within the restaurant. The udon features an exceptional firmness and texture, embodying the essence of quality. The broth is skillfully crafted using a combination of kombu and bonito, finished with their unique soy sauce. In the evenings, guests can unwind and enjoy a drink alongside their meals, adding to a relaxing dining experience.
With locations primarily in the Kanto region, the brand operates 20 stores throughout Japan, with plans for further expansion. Here's a look at some of the locations:
- - Hokkaido: Yamashita Honki Udon COCONO SUSUKINO
- - Tokyo: Various locations in Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Kagurazaka
- - Kanagawa: Locations in Yokohama and Kawasaki
- - Okayama: Aeon Mall Okayama
