About

Tsurutontan started in Osaka and its Soemoncho flagship on the canal is open until the early hours, which makes it a magnet for night-owls and the after-party crowd. The noodles are smooth and chewy, served in oversized bowls, and the menu runs from classic kitsune and curry udon to playful fusion dishes like mentaiko cream, carbonara and seasonal specials. Noodle portions can be scaled up at no extra cost.
