Den Udon

Den is a new restaurant specializing in authentic Japanese udon dishes. All of den's noodles are made in-house, as is their dashi broth, a combination of Japanese ingredients that creates a subtle yet savory umami. den offers diners a choice of two Dashis, with vegetarian options available for both: White Dashi — made with bonito flakes, dried seaweed and a touch of soy sauce — and Black Dashi, which consists of White Dashi mixed with strong soy sauce to produce a richer taste. As well as udon, den offers a variety of smaller plates or tsumamis, such as Red Wine Stewed Pork Belly, Crispy Mackerel, Miso-marinated Grilled Salmon and Sizzling Beef Steak. den has a minimalist design and relaxed seating arrangement with a Japanese-inspired music playlist; it feels like you have been transported to Tokyo. But you are, in fact, in London's King's Cross!
