Description
While the shoyu is the main draw, the kitchen also serves tsukemen dipping noodles, though local opinion on them is split between those who find the broth perfectly balanced and others who are less convinced. Bowls come topped with char siu and chicken breast, and portions are notably hearty—a bowl each plus a shared appetizer is easily enough for two. The restaurant also operates with a focus on eco-friendly practices.
