Sukesan Udon Menu: Enjoy the Unchanged Taste Since Its Founding in Tokyo
Suddenly, Sukesan Udon, a three-time consecutive winner of the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand, will open in a space borrowed from Bistro Vivant next to “Kagawa Ippuku.” Founded in 1976, Sukesan Udon is a udon chain with 69 stores in seven prefectures in Kyushu, as well as Yamaguchi, Okayama, Osaka, and Hyogo. Its specialty is the chewy textured udon and the carefully crafted broth made from mackerel flakes, kelp, and shiitake mushrooms.
At the pop-up restaurant, the signature dishes “Niku Gobo Tempura Udon” and “Sukesan Happiness Set” will be served.
