Take udon to the next level by endless creativity!

Samurai.udon
Samurai.udon is located in Hakata-ekimae area, about 13 minutes walking distance from Hakata Station. It is a so-called business district, but the atmosphere around the restaurant is more relaxed as it is a little far from the station. Since the opening in 2013, it has become popular with its topicality. Despite being an udon restaurant, it is best known for various collaboration with different types of restaurants, such as spice curry restaurant, Champon restaurant, Chinese restaurant and so on. The owner, Mr Souma, never fails to impress the customers with his endless creativity as each collaboration had received positive feedback. With these unique ideas and experience, Samurai.udon has been transformed into an unprecedented udon restaurant.

My favourite dish is the new specialty "Frying Pan Curry Udon" (the current ingredients are green spring onions and chicken keema). The "evolved version" of the highly popular "Samurai.Curry Udon", made by using only a frying pan and with the passion to provide the flavour and taste that is comparable with other curry restaurants. In addition, there are so many ways to feed your curiosity and enjoy your meal to the fullest: add roasted cheese to enhance the richness, add tempura, finish the curry soup with rice, etc. If you prefer something besides curry, "Samurai.Bukkake" would be a good choice. You will be able to enjoy the perfect texture thanks to purely handmade from the process of Mizumawashi (to mix flour and water evenly) to the cutting, and at the same time stimulate your appetite with the generous amount of meat and tempura as toppings.
