Tastes brought to life by traditional craftsmanship

The handmade techniques for making the noodles have been passed down unchanged through the generations since the restaurant’s beginning. The culinary masterpieces are brought to life by the traditional techniques used in making the noodles such as adjusting the amount of water and salt used according to the temperature and humidity of the day. The restaurant generally stays open until 20:00 but be careful because if the noodles sell out before closing time the restaurant may close as early as 19:00.
