Let's start by looking at the signature dish, "Fragrant Soy Sauce Soba." The first thing that catches your eye is the clear color of the soup! The "triple soup" is a skillful combination of three types of stock: chicken stock, dried sardine stock, and shellfish stock. The flavors of each stock are perfectly balanced, creating an exquisite, deep flavor.

This delicate triple soup is paired with supple, medium-thin, straight noodles. Not only are they easy to slurp, but you can also really taste the original flavor and umami of the wheat. The owner's attention to detail is also apparent in his choice of noodles, carefully considered to match the soup.

The fragrant soy sauce soba is topped with luxurious ingredients such as tender roast pork, flavorful duck roast pork, and clams. The duck roast pork is topped with a paste made from black truffle and fermented black garlic, which dissolves into a rich, deep-flavored soup.
