01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Located in the first-floor food court of Ito-Yokado Hikifune, Hanamaru Udon offers an effortless stop that fits smoothly into an everyday shopping trip. Unpretentious bowls are available at accessible prices, ranging from the classic hot kake udon and chilled, firm hiya-kake to crisp, refreshing oroshi shoyu brought to life by fragrant soy sauce and grated daikon radish. The menu also caters to different cravings with options like mentai oroshi shoyu accented with spicy pollack roe, or hearty curry udon coated in piping-hot, flavorful broth.
Flavorful variations and customizable toppings
For diners looking for deeper richness and more punch, the sesame-based dandan udon lineup is another standout. Choices include the fragrant shirogoma dandan highlighting toasted white sesame, a mellow ontama dandan topped with a soft-poached egg, and a buta shabu dandan paired with tender sliced pork, with the thoughtful perk of being able to order without chili oil. There is also room to adjust each bowl to personal taste by adding toppings like soft-boiled eggs, extra green onions, or grated daikon.
Extra satisfaction with sets and takeout bento
When noodles alone are not quite enough, combo sets pair udon with mini rice bowls such as salted pork donburi, seasoned beef rice, or curry rice for a thoroughly filling meal. Takeaway options are just as practical, including the signature udon bento that packs noodles and tempura together for an easy meal back at home or the office. Whether dropping by for a brisk solo lunch or dining with family, the counter provides a dependable solution for a wide range of everyday occasions.
