Same Team. Better Recipes.
Our Name —
Ichimaru Udon 一丸
The Change
Built From the
Ground Up
At the heart of everything we do is consistency, quality, and genuinely good food.
As we’ve grown across the UK, so has the case for a name and identity that reflects the business we are today — and where we’re headed next.
So we made one. A new name and identity, designed from the ground up for the business we’ve become: Ichimaru Udon.
The Name
Ichimaru 一丸
Two characters. One idea — everything and everyone, gathered as one.
Ichi
one. unity.
The character of togetherness — one table, one team, all gathered as one.
Maru
round. perfection.
The character of wholeness — harmony, completeness, perfection.
The brush stroke embracing in one —
the mark of craftsmanship, made by hand.
OUR CRAFT
Fresh Noodles Every Day
Each batch of noodles is made on-site every day, boiled from fresh for every order.
1
The Dough
We combine high-protein flour, salt and mineral water to a precise ratio, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. This takes time and care — no shortcuts.
2
The Rest
The dough rests and develops gluten, which gives our udon that signature thick & soft texture that cannot be replicated with dried or machine-made alternatives.
3
The Roll
Noodles are cut and cooked fresh to order in our open kitchen — you can always watch your bowl being made from start to finish.
