I went to a udon restaurant called "Ieyasu" located a short walk from Asakusa Station. I had zaru udon and Ieyasu udon. The noodles were thin, chewy, and had a good texture. The Ieyasu udon had a lot of ingredients, was filling, and the broth was delicious. When you visit Asakusa, be sure to stop by.

I stopped by Asakusa for a New Year's Eve shopping trip. It was cold despite wearing warm clothing, winter in Asakusa is chilly. When it's cold like this, you start craving something warm, like soup. That's when I stumbled upon the Ieyasu Asakusa store. The name is nice too. I thought, what will Ieyasu do next year, maybe udon, and decided to try it out. [Atmosphere] At the entrance of the store, they were making noodles. When you place an order, they cut a portion of noodles and cook it right there, so it felt different from stores that pre-make noodles. You can feel the store's dedication to noodles. There are three two-person tables near the entrance, with three or four chairs each, so it's convenient for two people with luggage. In the back, there were two tables with six chairs. I sat at the table closest to the entrance. There was a family of four in the back. Later, a family of five arrived, but they were guided to the second floor, so it seems there are seats upstairs as well. The two male staff members were friendly and provided service with ease since there were empty seats. [Menu] Ieyasu Udon 1,320 yen (tax included). It took about 10 minutes for the udon to arrive since it's made to order. Since it was New Year's Eve, it wasn't too crowded, maybe because soba is more popular around this time. So, it might have been made to order due to stock availability. Making it from scratch was refreshing and the handmade texture of the noodles was nice, not as smooth as instant noodles. The broth had a unique taste with chicken, pork, beef, green onions, wakame, and a meaty flavor, recommended for those who like meat udon. It also had tempura bits, and there were menu items like "Chikara Udon," so I was expecting a sweet broth like in Kansai-style udon, but it wasn't like that at all. As someone from Osaka, I would describe it as a unique udon that is like a Tokyo-style udon with a Kansai-style flavor, not as intense as Tokyo soba broth. [Summary] The cost-performance ratio is not great, but in this cold weather, a quick stop at this store on the main street is very convenient. It has a slightly touristy atmosphere, but I didn't think the taste would disappoint, so I felt like it's a good place to go to when in need.

This udon restaurant has strong noodles! The interior has two floors, so we were able to get in without waiting in line. The menu was relatively extensive. The udon was delicious, but it was very firm and required a strong bite to chew through. Elderly customers should be cautious when eating. The prices were relatively high, so that's why I gave this evaluation!

■Order: Ieyasu Udon - 1210 yen It contained beef, chicken, fried balls, nameko mushrooms, kamaboko, and more. Surprisingly, it had a lot of ingredients. Udon is something I crave during the cold season. ■Miscellaneous: It's a shop that serves handmade udon. In the past 10 years, there have been many delicious shops offering udon, soba, ramen, and curry. Even chain restaurants have significantly improved their quality, making it a great time for food lovers.

The warm Yasuke Udon is a luxurious udon with chicken, pork, and beef. The meat udon in tsukemen style is a warm broth with melted meat, topped with condiments and egg on chewy udon. Both were so delicious that I couldn't stop eating! Thank you very much.

I used it for lunch! Since it's summer, I felt like eating light cold udon noodles, so I ordered the Tsukimi Gozen. It had plenty of grated yam, raw egg, and mountain vegetables, and the noodles had just the right amount of firmness and were delicious. There were flies flying around, so it would have been even better if they could improve that...

I have been going to the restaurant in Iriya for over 20 years, so today was my first time at the Asakusa branch. However, I felt no discomfort at all. I had the tempura udon for 1740 yen. The sweet kakejiru soup here pairs perfectly with the lightly battered and crispy shrimp tempura. Adding some kanzuri spice gives the dish a tighter balance, creating a golden balance of flavor and aroma. The udon noodles have a strong chewiness and a smooth texture, just like the ones at the Iriya branch. Slurping and chewing, the red-lacquered bowl was empty in no time. It was a pleasant day for a walk before the rainy season, and the udon was truly satisfying.

The shop is located about a 4-minute walk from Asakusa Station along Orange Street. The main shop is in Iriya, and it seems that the son is running this Asakusa branch. The main shop had many autographs of famous people. It seems like it was featured on TV as well. Looking at the menu, even the simplest option "zaru" costs over 1000 yen. Honestly, it seems quite expensive. I ordered the "Kara Udon" (1400 yen). It is a type of tsukemen where cold noodles are dipped in a spicy broth. I chose the cold noodles to enjoy the firmness of their homemade udon. It was ready in about 10 minutes. The noodles looked thin. They were served with pork, shrimp, and a soft-boiled egg on top. Now, the first bite... The noodles and broth were lukewarm. The noodles didn't have the firmness they boasted about, and the flavor of the udon was not prominent. The taste of the broth was good, but it was a shame. Overall, I have to give a harsh review due to the lukewarm temperature and lack of value for money. Thank you for the meal.

I had originally planned to eat soba, but ended up going for udon instead. I usually avoid udon because of its high GI value, but for some reason, I couldn't resist this pricey zaru udon shop. I decided to try the warm Niku Udon (991 yen excluding tax). After a 10-minute wait, the Niku Udon arrived with pork, green onions, and tenkasu on top, and the broth was a slightly sweet soy sauce and mirin blend. The udon noodles were thin and had a chewy texture, similar to Nagoya udon, but not as firm as Sanuki udon or Musashino udon. Despite being warm, the udon was delicious and easy to eat.

On New Year's Day in 2019, I went on a tour with my two children to Asakusa. Unexpectedly, we ended up donating blood in front of Sensoji Temple, so our plan to enjoy some alcohol at lunch fell through. We tried to find a place to eat, but everywhere was packed with people. We eventually settled on a udon restaurant called "Ieyasu." The menu was limited, and the portion size was small. The udon noodles were tasty but on the thin side. We ordered the regular udon and a special udon with mochi for New Year's. The prices were a bit high, but considering the location in Asakusa, it might be reasonable. Overall, it was a decent meal, but for those with big appetites, the portion size might not be enough.

A udon restaurant in Asakusa with a strong name, called Ieyasu Udon. The broth is not bad, but the prices are high and the first-floor seats are cramped. The noodles lack firmness, so they don't feel like Sanuki udon. The service is decent, with plenty of water refills and attention to detail, but overall the value for money is not good. If they lowered the price to around 500 yen, they might attract a huge line of customers. Also, it would be good if they extended their hours to include an idol time. Thank you for the meal.

I had the "Ieyasu Udon"! It is hand-made udon with a firm texture. Although it is priced a bit high, considering the effort and deliciousness, the price is reasonable.

I had the "Ieyasu Udon" and it was delicious. It had meat and vegetables in it, so I got full. Like other reviews mentioned, the noodles had a good texture.

Tsukimi Gozen is a must-visit restaurant with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere.

I had power udon and it had a refined taste with a strong broth! When I eat udon in Asakusa, I always come here.
