Now open

Hand-crafted udon with quiet Japanese warmth.

House-made noodles, gentle dashi, and comforting bowls prepared fresh for lunch, dinner, and everyday visits.

Our craft

One day. Four ingredients. No shortcuts.

Our noodles

Our udon dough rests for a full 24 hours before cutting — the time it takes to develop the chew and clean swallow of authentic Sanuki-style udon. We blend several premium wheat flours by hand for the right tension between firmness and give.

Our dashi

Four ingredients only: bonito flakes, dried sardines, iwashi, and kombu kelp. Drawn slowly under controlled temperature. No MSG. No premade base. Umami built up, layer by layer.

Japanese comfort

Bright, calm, and easy to walk into.

A warm everyday udon shop with light wood, simple bowls, and a quiet Japanese feeling made for Sunnyvale.

Zen's calm udon shop interior with light wood slat walls, bench seating, and warm Edison-bulb lighting
Everyday comfort, served simply.
Premium Seafood Cold Udon topped with shrimp tempura, salmon roe, shredded crab, cucumber, and shredded egg
