Shinjuku's Number One Udon: Discovering Chewy Perfection at Udon Shin!

Tucked away in the alleys of Shinjuku, Udon Shin (うどん 慎) has long held the top spot for udon in the area. The restaurant’s dedication to its noodles is akin to a labor of love, ensuring every bowl served is brimming with a signature chewy, vibrant texture. The secret behind the exceptional quality at Udon Shin lies in their commitment to making noodles from scratch: hand-kneaded, hand-cut, and boiled to order. They select wheat specifically suited for udon, allowing the dough to mature overnight to guarantee that perfect, bouncy bite. Because they only begin cutting and boiling the noodles after a customer places an order, this devotion to freshness infuses every bowl with the heart of a true artisan.
 
The menu offers a rich variety of both hot and cold udon. A must-try is their Kamatama udon, where the steam from the noodles and the silky richness of the egg yolk combine to create a culinary masterpiece that you simply mix together. For something more refreshing, try their cold udon, served with sudachi citrus slices and colorful sesame seeds; the crisp, tangy flavor is an instant wake-up call for your taste buds. If you love fried foods, don’t miss the shrimp and seasonal vegetable tempura cold udon—the contrast between the crispy, tender tempura and the chilled noodles is pure bliss.
OthersRecommended Dishes
  • Warm Soy Sauce, Butter Black Pepper, Onsen Egg, and Mentaiko Udon: This dish combines warm soy sauce, butter, black pepper, an onsen egg, and mentaiko (spicy cod roe) udon. The noodles are perfectly chewy, and the sauce is light yet flavorful. The richness of the onsen egg paired with the savory, salty kick of the mentaiko makes it impossible to stop at just one bite.
 
  • Tempura Cold Udon: This dish includes a variety of tempura, such as two shrimp and four types of seasonal vegetables. The tempura is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, never greasy, and pairs perfectly with the chilled udon for a refreshing meal, especially in the summer.
 
  • Meat Bukkake Udon with Spicy Sauce and Onsen Egg: This cold udon comes with a side of sauce, allowing you to adjust the saltiness to your preference. The noodles are chilled for a firm, chewy texture and served with beef, spicy sauce, and an onsen egg for a distinct, fiery kick.
 
Beyond the udon, the tempura here is outstanding. The shrimp and maitake mushroom tempura use fresh ingredients, resulting in a crispy exterior and succulent interior that keeps you reaching for more. The sweet potato tempura is fried until crispy while remaining fluffy inside with just the right amount of sweetness, making it an excellent side dish.
The broth here is a hidden treasure. Udon Shin uses a Kansai-style soup base made from Kushiro-produced kombu and various types of fish flakes. The broth is light yet deeply flavorful, pairing perfectly with the noodles. The restaurant is incredibly meticulous about heat control, simmering slowly to extract the best flavors and giving every sip a complex depth that will make you exclaim, ‘This broth is so pure!’ Plus, the cozy and charming interior makes you want to linger a little longer.
 
However, if you want to taste this ‘treasure of the Shinjuku udon world,’ you will need a bit of patience, as the crowds are significant. (I waited for two hours on the day I visited…) But wait just a little longer, and the culinary experience that awaits you is absolutely worth it. Next time you visit Shinjuku, remember to add Udon Shin to your food bucket list and enjoy a delicious and fun experience!
