Mochimen Innovates Japanese food with Chewy Texture Udon Noodles at its Grand Opening in Shinagawa Konan Exit Store

YOSHITUNE Co., Ltd. has joined the franchise of the new brand Mochimen, which offers an entirely new gummy-like chewy texture udon, at its Tokyo Restaurant open on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, a 5-minute walk from Shinagawa Station Konan Exit.
Mochimen features specially aged noodles made with domestically produced wheat through an in-house method. These noodles achieve a springy, chewy texture reminiscent of that of gummy candy. Combined with a richly aromatic golden broth and flavorful fermentation-aged chicken tempura, the dishes deliver both heartiness and satisfaction.

A New Sensation: Udon with a Gummy-Like Chewy Texture

The defining characteristic of Mochimen lies in its specially crafted noodles, made by uniquely blending two varieties of domestically produced wheat and slowly aging them. This achieves a completely new texture—smooth on the palate, chewy from the first bite, and elastic like gummy candy—different from traditional Sanuki or Ise udon.

Commitment to Broth and Ingredients

Golden Broth
The broth is carefully prepared by extracting flavor from kombu and dried sardines in water overnight, then blending with bonito, mackerel, and sardine flakes for a deeply aromatic finish. It is seasoned with Mikawa mirin, Tanakaya soy sauce from Ehime, and Washed Crystal Sugar from the Southern island of Tanegashima.

Fermentation-aged Chicken Tempura Udon
Domestic chicken thigh and tenderloin are aged for five days to maximize umami and aroma, creating a special flavor achievable only with advanced fermentation techniques.
