Hidden in a small street of the Azabujuban district of Tokyo is a quaint noodle shop that offers the best udon I have ever tasted. If you are a big fan of noodles in tasty soup stocks, like I am, this is definitely the place to go. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Roppongi Hills subway stop, but you should expect to wait in a line for 10 to 15 minutes before being seated.
Kurosawa serves a variety of udon dishes ranging from the simplest noodle and beef broth to a more flavorful black pork and curry udon dish. The noodles are freshly made on the premises to provide the best texture and taste. Make sure to gobble up the minute you get your meal, because the noodles will get soggy! My personal favorite was the beef tendon and udon noodle soup. The steaming broth was perfect to balance out the chilly weather, and the flavor wasn’t overpowering at all. If you’re in the mood for something heavier, then I highly recommend the curry soups, but it might get a little messy as you slurp up the noodles.
Prices range from 650 yen for the plain soup with udon noodles to 1,650 yen for the curry soup with pork and udon noodles. I promise that you will not be disappointed.
