About this place
Tomoe Udon works for a meal centred on udon, but also for an evening of sake and small plates followed by noodles. Alongside the bowl suggested by its name, the menu has the feel of an izakaya, with abura-kasu udon, meat udon, curry udon and oboro-toji udon among the choices. Each is listed at ¥700. Meat udon makes for a more substantial meal, while curry udon or oboro-toji offers a different flavour. One visitor highlighted the combination of deeply flavoured broth and Osaka-style noodles that are not overly firm. Another said they enjoyed the broth in the oboro-toji udon. If you are starting with a bowl, oboro-toji is also worth considering: it was mentioned as a satisfying way to finish a meal.
For something to enjoy alongside a drink, the menu includes fried chicken harami, fried chicken wings, dashimaki rolled omelette and a daily sashimi assortment. Listed prices include 600 yen for the fried chicken harami and 500 yen for the dashimaki. One visitor ordered the chicken with French fries alongside oboro-toji udon, offering a useful example of how to build a meal from small plates to noodles. The same visitor also noted being able to sample up to three kinds of sake before choosing. That may appeal both to diners who like to compare options and to those who want to settle on a bottle to pair with their food. It could be an evening focused on sake and small plates, or one that ends with udon.
A visitor also reported finding billiards, darts and a model railway diorama inside, giving the space attractions beyond food and drink. It offers a different kind of visit from a quick meal: you can decide how to combine udon, drinks and a little play. The listing says payment is cash only. Whether you arrive in the mood for udon or for sake with something to nibble, there is more than one way to spend an evening here.
