When rich, heavy ramen was in style, the owner-chef resolved to win diners over to Tokyo’s chintan or “clear-water” style of ramen. His motto is, “the goodness of the ingredients, simply conveyed”. To this end, he creates his dashi from just two ingredients: local, free-range chicken and water. The signature ‘Chicken-and-soy-sauce Ramen’ is prepared with raw soy sauce kaeshi. To ensure the rich broth does not steal the show, he pairs it with flat noodles of medium thickness.
