Kirimugiya Jinroku is a popular udon shop located near Shinjuku Gyoen, recognized multiple times as a Tabelog Udon Hyakumeiten and mentioned for its Michelin Bib Gourmand status. The shop prides itself on its "hititate, kiritate, agetate" (freshly kneaded, cut, and fried) udon, paired with an additive-free dashi made from premium ingredients.

The atmosphere is relaxed, with counter and table seating, and a good selection of Japanese sake is available.
