Store Description
Experience the authentic soul of Osaka’s street food scene at Tsurumaru Udon x Tempura, conveniently located on the Upper Ground Floor of Gateway Mall 1. This bustling eatery sits at the vibrant intersection connecting the original mall with Gateway 2, offering a quick yet soul-warming escape for those navigating the heart of Araneta City. Its open-kitchen concept and rapid service style make it an ideal destination for a productive lunch break or a comforting dinner before catching a show at the nearby Coliseum.
What makes this Japanese gem a must-visit is its commitment to the "freshly made, freshly cooked" philosophy, where diners can watch their noodles being prepared in real-time. The self-service cafeteria style allows for a customized dining experience, letting you curate your tray with a variety of crispy sides and savory bases. It is a standout choice for budget-conscious foodies who refuse to compromise on quality, providing a high-value, interactive meal that captures the chaotic yet organized charm of a traditional Japanese udon house.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the Kake Udon, featuring thick, chewy wheat noodles swimming in a delicate, umami-rich dashi broth. To complete your tray, the freshly fried Ebi Tempura and the savory Kakiage provide a satisfying crunch that elevates the softness of the noodles. For those craving something bolder, the Curry Udon or the Beef Ontama Bukkake—topped with a silky soft-boiled egg—offers a rich, layered flavor profile that has made this spot a favorite for repeat visitors seeking a genuine taste of Japan.
