Tsurutontan has opened at Tokyu Plaza Ginza 10F. I have been to the Roppongi and Marunouchi branches before, both of which were quite stylish, but the Ginza branch had a unique charm. It had a luxurious atmosphere with a bar counter and jazz live performances at night. The restaurant is located on the 10th floor of Tokyu Plaza. While most other dining places close around 23:00, Tsurutontan stays open until 28:00 on weekdays (until 23:00 on weekends), making it a valuable late-night option in Ginza. The interior is spacious and luxurious, with a bar counter and stylish semi-private rooms. The jazz live performances near the bar counter create a great atmosphere. The service was very polite and attentive. As for the food, the menu is similar to other branches. I ordered the "Chicken Udon" for 980 yen with 2 servings. It came in a huge bowl, and the udon was delicious and satisfying. Still a bit hungry, I also ordered the "Beef Cutlet Rolls" for 680 yen. The beef cutlet rolls were tasty, although the sauce was a bit sweeter than I preferred. Overall, I had a great dining experience with food and two drinks for around 3,500 yen per person. In conclusion, Tsurutontan in Ginza offers a luxurious dining experience at a reasonable price. With jazz live performances at night, it's a great place for a casual date or special occasion.

When I had the Niku Udon (2 servings) at the Shibuya branch, I found that 1.5 servings were a bit too little, so this time I ordered 2 servings. The broth was a bit light, but the flavor was strong with a prominent bonito taste and very delicious. The regular noodles were chewy and had a good texture, making it easy to finish quickly. The aftertaste was also good, making it an addictive udon. Next time, I think I'll try a cream-based one. Thank you for the meal.

I love Tsurotan Tan! It was a weekday night but it was more crowded than usual. I waited for about 40 minutes. I was lucky to be seated at the counter seat where I could enjoy the view outside. This time, I tried the cream udon with thin noodles, but the texture is better with regular noodles. However, the thin noodles mixed well with the soup and it was delicious in its own way.

The system where you input the number of people with a machine and receive a notification on your phone is convenient, but the wait is quite long. There are empty seats, but no one has been seated because they haven't been called. The staff is inflexible, just mechanically calling out numbers loudly. The service lacks warmth, and the number board is not functioning properly. I ordered the black sesame tantanmen. The taste was consistent and delicious, with a high-end atmosphere typical of Tsurutontan. Despite the wait, it was delicious, but when I went to pay, there was an unexpected line at the register. It's okay for tourists or first-timers at Tsurutontan, but for others, it's mediocre. It's a hit with foreigners.

Visited with 2 people around 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. We took a number at the reception machine and could also wait for notification by email, so it was nice to be able to kill time on other floors. We were called in about 30-40 minutes. The restaurant was spacious and open, making it a relaxing place to eat. We ordered 2 servings this time, but if you're a man, you could probably handle 2.5 to 3 servings.

Located inside Tokyu Plaza in Ginza, the interior doesn't look like a typical udon restaurant. You can get up to 3 servings of udon for free, making it very cost-effective. The udon itself is delicious with a creative twist, making it convenient for a casual date. However, it tends to get crowded around early evening. There are benches nearby, but they are often taken by people waiting for Tsurutontan.

This popular restaurant always has a line. They offer both thin and thick noodles, with the thick noodles having a satisfying chewiness. You can adjust the amount of noodles for free, up to three servings. The location is great, with a beautiful night view if you sit by the window. The menu changes seasonally, so you won't get bored. They also offer a variety of alcohol and side dishes. In addition to a la carte menu, they also have course menus available.

I made a reservation for the course only. Everything I ate was delicious, but the alcohol was quite strong and had a strong taste, which I wish was mentioned in the menu. I arrived before 7:00 PM and there were already 19 groups waiting. It was nice that you could wait inside Tokyu Plaza. The seats were spacious, the atmosphere was luxurious, and conversations were not interrupted. However, the ladle for the udon was large and heavy.

On the 10th floor of Tokyu Plaza, there is a restaurant where long lines form on weekends, but I was able to walk in without waiting at 3:30 pm on a weekday. I couldn't decide what to order because everything looked delicious, so I searched for the most popular dish on ranking.net and ordered the number one dish, "Udon with spicy cod roe and scrambled eggs." The portion was surprisingly large, although the udon was tasty, I didn't feel like it was worth waiting in line for. The variety of side dishes (such as simmered beef tendon, omelette, and seafood salad) was impressive, and I think it would be better to come for drinks and snacks like at an izakaya rather than just for udon. The spacious and pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant makes me want to come back and try again with drinks and snacks next time.

I waited for over an hour. There were a lot of foreign visitors. However, being located in Ginza, Tsurutontan has a luxurious atmosphere. It is located on the upper floors of Tokyu Plaza Ginza, so you can enjoy udon while overlooking the night view of Ginza, which I think is unique (lol). The wait was worth it, but if I have to wait this long again, I might hesitate to go back.

The motsu nabe yakisoba noodles were smooth and delicious. The udon from Tsurutontan is always reliable. Ordering through the electronic menu was convenient. I went for lunch on a Saturday and arrived at 11:00 to avoid the crowds, which worked well as I was seated right away. However, the restaurant quickly filled up. The staff seemed inexperienced, as they mixed up orders and seemed nervous.

I visited the restaurant in the afternoon (around 4:00 PM). I got a ticket at the counter and waited to be called. There were 5 groups ahead of me, but I was called in about 10 minutes. I ordered the Mentaiko Ankake Tamago Toji Udon for 1,580 yen. I chose 2 servings of udon! You can choose up to 3 servings for free. About 10 minutes after ordering, a large covered bowl arrived. When I opened it, the appearance was very beautiful and appetizing! The combination of mentaiko and egg was irresistible, and the soup and udon were delicious. The warm udon was quite filling even with 2 servings! The restaurant had a spacious and relaxing atmosphere, and the view from the 10th floor was amazing. The price range for the udon was a bit high, but just the atmosphere alone was satisfying, making it a great recommendation for a date! Thank you for the meal.

Visited during the Obon period in August with a friend. Made a reservation ahead of time knowing it would be crowded. Already over 40 groups waiting. We were seated at a window booth. There were a lot of foreigners, which left an impression. Soon after resetting the touch panel, we ordered drinks and the course meal arrived. Appetizers, thin udon (cold and delicious, perfect for us who had been walking in the hot city), a separate order of horse sashimi, and more dishes kept coming. The final udon dish came in a large regular-sized bowl, leaving us quite full. The flavors were not outstanding, but enjoying drinks while looking out at the view of the Tokyo highways from Ginza was fantastic. The service was good despite the crowd, with beer and sake arriving promptly after ordering. We will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first time going to Tsurutontan in the summer, and I usually always order creamy udon, but I couldn't resist trying the summer limited menu. It was a refreshing sight to see shaved ice topped with cold udon and dashi broth. The ice kept the dish cold for a long time, allowing me to enjoy it with a crisp chill.

Visited around 1:00 pm on a Sunday. There were about 40 groups ahead of us, but some left so we were seated in about 30 minutes. It was my first time at Tsurutontan. I had the impression that it would be expensive because it's so famous, but I was surprised by how affordable it was! It was a hot day and some people were ordering cold udon, but those who ordered the "kakigori udon" type of dish said it got cold by the end and they regretted ordering it. The restaurant has good air conditioning, so maybe hot udon would be just right.

I made a reservation for the evening session through Tabelog at "Tsurutontan," a restaurant with several locations in Tokyo. The one in Ginza always seems to have a long wait, probably due to its location in a high-rise building in the Ginza district. The design of the building, with its total glass exterior, is said to be inspired by Edo Kiriko glassware and has won awards for its innovative approach. The entrance, like a corridor of light, was quite impressive. I arrived about 15 minutes early, but there was already a line outside the restaurant. I was seated at the counter, facing the kitchen, which was a bit disappointing as the real charm of this place is slurping udon while enjoying the night view of Ginza. The reservation automatically included a course meal, with only the option to choose the main udon dish. The menu had a variety of traditional Japanese dishes, and I started with cold udon topped with quail egg, green onions, and myoga. The small side dishes in the bamboo basket were reminiscent of a casual Japanese meal. The sashimi and tempura were delicious, but the curry udon with tonkatsu was a bit of a letdown. The curry was flavorful, but the udon lacked texture, and the tonkatsu was thin and tough. The meal ended with a grape dessert featuring Kyoho grapes, which was a nice touch. The restaurant had a stylish ambiance, and while there was no live piano music on that day, I heard that it is a common feature. The experience greatly depended on the seating, with reserved guests receiving better service than walk-ins. Overall, it's a stylish place with good food, but seating can greatly affect the dining experience.

It takes a while for the food to come out, but it's delicious. The tempura is crispy and satisfying. This restaurant is often crowded, but it was empty this time because it was a weekday. The chairs were a bit dirty, which was the only thing that bothered me.

I visited Tsurutontan located inside Tokyu Plaza in Ginza. It was a very hot day, so I ordered the tempura udon with shaved ice on top. It was the first time I had udon with shaved ice, and it was delicious. The noodles had a good texture, the tempura was tasty, and overall it was very enjoyable.

I went on a Saturday night. The line was crazy, but I got a number tag at 7:00 and was able to enter the store at 8:00. The place had a high-end atmosphere that didn't feel like an udon restaurant. The plates and ladles were unusually large and interesting! I ordered the black sesame tantan udon, and it was a great choice! The black sesame mousse-like sauce was rich, and the thin noodles made it easy to eat and delicious. With thin noodles, you could eat two servings! The prices are the same for half a serving to three servings, so it's nice to have options. The menu was so extensive that I had a hard time deciding, so I want to try a different type of udon next time!

I had Kitsune Udon. I knew it was big, but I was still surprised by the size of the bowl. They also had summer Sudachi Kakigori Udon, but I chose Kitsune Udon. I added a soft-boiled egg as an option. The noodles were softer than what I'm used to with Sanuki Udon. You can add up to 3 servings for free, but each serving is 260g, so one serving was enough to fill me up. Orders are placed using a tablet.

The most popular place. You can get 1 to 3 extra servings for free, but one serving is already filling! You can choose thin or thick noodles, but if you're used to Sanuki udon, thick noodles might feel too soft. The mentaiko (spicy cod roe) was plentiful and the kaki tamago (egg) with sauce was delicious. The bowl was too big. The menu includes sushi and shabu-shabu, maybe targeting foreign tourists?
