Description

The kitchen prepares unpretentious bowls featuring a hearty yet balanced chicken broth that avoids the overwhelming heaviness and salt of typical ramen. The noodles are praised for their distinct al dente chew, accompanied by rich nitamago and a splash of house vinegar. Beyond the signature shoyu and spicy shoyu premium bowls, the tight, packed space offers polite service from a welcoming owner, making the wait for a seat worth the time.
