Mazemen Udon

A new handmade udon restaurant is starting to attract attention in Seoul’s Dogok and Maebong area. The restaurant, called Udon Kinoya (우동키노야), is part of a growing Japanese-style udon chain that has recently become popular in Seoul office districts and trendy neighborhoods.

The restaurant focuses on handmade udon noodles that are low-temperature aged for 48 hours, giving them an extra chewy texture. Their broth is made fresh daily in a Japanese style, and the restaurant specializes in both hot kake udon and cold bukkake udon dishes.
