Tsurutontan Shinjuku, Japanese noodle restaurant in Shinjuku City, Japan
Tsurutontan Shinjuku is a Japanese noodle restaurant located in the basement of the Kabukicho district. The establishment serves thin udon noodles in 25 different preparations alongside shabu-shabu and sukiyaki courses.
The restaurant was established as part of a chain that expanded from Japan to international markets. Branches later opened in cities like New York and Hawaii.
Staff members dressed in traditional kimonos create an atmosphere where old customs blend with modern dining. Visitors experience this mix of contemporary comfort and classical hospitality while eating.
The entrance is located underground in the Kabukicho area, requiring a short descent down stairs to reach it. The space fills up quickly during peak hours, so arriving early or planning ahead is advisable.
The menu offers udon noodles not just in traditional forms but also with unexpected combinations of vegetables, meat, and broths. This creates completely different taste experiences across each dish.
