Japanese noodle chain looks to open outpost in Kenmore Square

TsuruTonTan, a Japanese chain that specializes in udon noodle dishes, is looking to open at the Hotel Commonwealth, 500 Commonwealth Ave. in Kenmore Square.

The restaurant goes before the Boston Licensing Board on July 25 for approval to buy the beer and wine license now held by Masona Grill in West Roxbury, which is closing this month.

The board's hearings begin at 10 a.m. in Room 809 in City Hall.
