Sukesan, which operates the Kita-Kyushu-born udon chain “Sukesan Udon,” will hold the grand opening of its first overseas outlet, “Sukesan Ulong Mian,” at Dayeh Takashimaya in Taipei, Taiwan, on June 18.
The menu will feature popular items well known in Japan, including its signature “Niku Gobo-Ten Udon” (udon with beef and burdock root tempura), as well as rice bowls, curry, oden, and botamochi (sweet rice cakes), along with Taiwan-exclusive dishes. The broth will be prepared in-store every day at the Taiwan location as well, with subtle adjustments to the flavor to better suit local Taiwanese preferences. A self-service condiments corner will also be set up inside the restaurant.
The Taiwan Sky Lark Group, which will be responsible for operations, currently runs a total of 91 stores across 7 brands in Taiwan, including 39 “Syabu-Yo” shabu-shabu restaurants and 27 “Cafe Grazie” locations, and will leverage its extensive local expertise and business foundation.
Since its founding in 1976, Sukesan Udon has grown to more than 100 outlets in Japan, currently operating in 1 metropolitan area, 2 urban prefectures, and 16 other prefectures. This expansion into Taiwan marks its first overseas store, timed with the milestone of the chain’s upcoming 50th anniversary.
The new restaurant will be located on the basement first floor. It will have 82 seats. Opening hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., extended to 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
