The restaurant with a unique appearance is a 5-minute walk from Kikusui Subway Station.
The restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Kikusui Subway Station. It is located in a residential area and has a parking lot for one car. Like the name of the restaurant, its exterior is characterized by a slightly mysterious appearance that does not look like a ramen restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant, you will find 7 seats at the counter and 3 tables at the tables, making it suitable for groups and families.
The most popular dish is "Chashu Meat Wontonsoba (Black)
The most popular dish at the restaurant is "Chashu Meat Wontonsoba (Black). It is a cosy bowl of light soup topped with a generous portion of wontons and pork!
The soup has a light flavor, but is still very tasty. The reason for its deliciousness is the seafood flavor made from sardine dried sardines, urume, mackerel, and other joints. Another key point is the combination of sharp soy sauce and the savory oil that locks in the flavor of the vegetables.
The noodles are made with a "rough surface" texture.
The noodles are made from "Tamura Seimen" in Hachioji, which has been imported since the opening of the restaurant to give it a unique texture. The crunchy texture goes well with the delicious soup made of dried sardines and dried bonito.
The taste is simple but profoundly delicious! New menu "Neo-Classic Chinese Soba Noodle
Neo-Classic Chinese Soba", which has been promoted from the limited menu to the regular menu, has the same soup base as "Chashu Meat Wontonsoba", but uses soy sauce and leek, and different flavoring oil to create a different taste. The soy sauce broth is also made from the broth in which the chashu pork was simmered. The simple yet profoundly delicious flavor of this neo-classic dish is a true classic.
The noodles are thin and straight, and the long noodle line gives you the real pleasure of sipping! The noodles are hard-boiled to give them a unique texture that the owner insists on.
The owner, Mr. Yudo, has always loved chuka-soba. When the restaurant first opened, he offered it for only 500 yen, a one-coin price, in an effort to promote chuka soba. Although the price has since been changed, it is heartwarming to see that he continues to do his best to keep the price as low as possible so that as many people as possible can enjoy it, even in these days of soaring food prices. We hope you will enjoy this special dish that will make you a fan once you try it.
