Specialty handmade noodles

Both the udon and the soba are handmade in the store. These carefully made noodles are cut thin and have a great springy body. The udon noodles are especially soft and springy and go extremely well with the specialty broth!

Specialty original blend miso

The most popular item on the menu is definitely the miso nikomi udon （850 yen）. The head chef’s specialty broth is made by blending two types of miso bought from a local warehouse and while having a deep rich body it also has smooth and mellow flavor. The dish is served in a hot iron bowl so even if you take your time eating, it will stay piping hot until the end!

Nikomi udon full of toppings

Not only the classic miso nikomi udon, but the topping packed gojo tokusei nikomi udon （1,300 yen） is also super popular! This is one luxurious dish with the chicken and egg as well as other ingredients not normally found in miso nikomi udon like shrimp, sweet potato tempura, and mochi.
