Raku - Midtown

Tucked past sister bakery Patisserie Fouet, the dining room pairs checkerboard walls with perimeter booths and communal tables. The kitchen expands beyond core noodle bowls to include sushi, seafood donburi, tatsutaage chicken, and sweets. Diners note noodles with a chewy, springy texture and a distinct smoky flavor in the pork, alongside nabeyaki hot udon, though feedback on broth richness ranges from deep and savory to lighter dashi.
