during Summer 2026

As the hot summer months approach, Utsuke, a renowned meat dipping udon restaurant, is offering an enticing limited-time menu starting from June 15, 2026, until the end of August. This seasonal special, titled "Udon with Citrus and Grated Daikon Topped with Vegetable Tempura," promises to deliver refreshing and vibrant flavors that are perfect for warm weather.

What’s in the Special Udon?

The standout dish features udon noodles, expertly coated in a savory niboshi (dried sardine) powder, providing a light and zesty taste. The udon is generously topped with a mixture of grated daikon and a crispy tempura made from an assortment of summer vegetables including bitter melon, myoga ginger, corn, and onion. The final touch is a squeeze of fresh sudachi, a Japanese citrus fruit, which adds a pleasant tartness to the dish.

What's more, a soft boiled egg is served on the side, allowing for a delightful flavor twist. Not only can diners mix the egg with the udon, but it’s also delicious when paired with the crispy tempura.

Utsuke's Dedication to Quality Udon

Located inside the Iino Building, directly connected to Kasumigaseki station in Tokyo, Utsuke specializes in meat dipping udon, preparing their exceptional flat noodles with 100% Hokkaido wheat. Noodles undergo a two-step aging process before being boiled and quickly chilled in cold water, delivering a glossy, thick texture that chews perfectly and is complemented by the rich soup.

Utsuke takes pride in offering dishes that highlight their homemade udon and flavorful broth. Notably, their signature cold dipping soup made with beef, known as the "Spicy Beef Dipping Udon," and a warm dipping broth featuring pork, the "Hot Pork Dipping Udon," are well-loved by patrons.

Restaurant Highlights

In the evenings, from 5 PM, Utsuke transforms into "Udon Dashi Sakaba Utsuke," presenting a special menu that showcases creative dishes and appetizers, emphasizing their exquisite broth. This allows guests to indulge in the flavors while enjoying drinks. A must-try at the end of the night is the restaurant's famous dipping udon, alongside various udon options that boast remarkable texture and taste.
