Kirimen Returns to Takashimaya Shinjuku

From September 10 to 23, 2025, Kirimen, a celebrated noodle shop recognized as one of the best by Tabelog, will participate in the renowned "Gourmet Collection" event at Takashimaya Shinjuku.

This year's highlight for Kirimen is the introduction of the limited-time summer menu item, "Chilled Kirimen TKM (Tamago Kake Men)," alongside its iconic delicacy, the Kiridama. The Chilled Kirimen brings a refreshing twist to the traditional chilled noodles, a staple of summer.

Discover Kirimen's Unique Flavors

Kirimen has gained immense popularity for its philosophy that celebrates noodles as the star of the dish. The secret lies in their specially crafted "Super Kirimen Flour" which elevates the taste of the noodles. The beloved "Kiridama" combines simplicity with flavor — made from noodles and egg, it has garnered a faithful following. Now enhanced with a generous serving of traditional chilled noodle toppings, it perfectly embodies the essence of summer dining.

Don't miss this chance to savor a bowl that you can only experience in Tokyo — originally exclusive to the Kansai region!

The star of this year's festival is undoubtedly the new Chilled Kirimen TKM. As a summertime classic, chilled noodles are redefined here; the noodles are crafted meticulously, taking up to 12 minutes to boil to perfect tenderness.
