TsuruTonTan: The Japanese Udon Pros Come To Union Square

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

• The first international outpost of the Japanese udon noodle chain TsuruTonTan opens in the iconic space that previously housed Danny Meyer’s Union Square Cafe
• While ramen and soba noodles often take center stage, udon noodles rarely get their time to shine. The udon specialists at TsuruTonTan mix, knead, roll, and cut the dough on site to create the satisfyingly plump and springy wheat noodles
• The restaurant is comprised of four floors and multiple dining rooms with striking colors. The menu is under the direction of chef Tomoya Tamaru — in addition to the two dozen udon variations, the menu includes over-rice dishes, sushi, tempura, and other Japanese specialties
