Chicken shoyu with house-made noodles

The story behind the bowl

Tosaka focuses on self-made noodles and clean chicken broth, providing a precise modern contrast to Yamagata's rustic thick-noodle institutions.

Before you go: Look for seasonal cold noodles, but use the core chicken bowl to assess the noodle craft.
