Zaru’s focus is authentic homemade Japanese Sanuki udon. The noodles are made from Japanese flour sourced from Kagawa Prefecture, the birthplace of udon. The concept is brought to us by James Beard Award-nominated restauranteurs Johnny and Jimmy Tung.

Zaru brings all of the traditional elements of Sanuki udon together in a great space.

“We wanted to carry on the 500-year-old noodle making tradition. Traveling throughout Japan earlier this year, I loved how the udon tasted there, and wanted to bring that experience back to Florida. We’re sourcing premium udon flour, and working with a local Japanese company for custom equipment from the Kagawa region,” says Johnny.

Zaru is named after the shallow bamboo basket used to prepare udon noodles in Japanese cuisine. The concept will allow guests to enjoy scratch-made Sanuki style udon noodles, and the menu will feature an array of specialties including housemade crab gyoza, zaru udon, ikura shiso udon, and Edo style tempura. Cold noodle dishes, and a curated selection of Japanese beers and sake will also be offered as a welcome relief to the Florida heat.
