Tsuta, the first ramen restaurant in Japan to receive a Michelin star, is back in a new location in Yoyogi-Uehara, a popular area near Yoyogi Park and Shibuya. The menu still features truffle oil-infused shoyu ramen and other styles, but the new location is slightly larger to accommodate the influx of tourists expected during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The noodles remain made in-house. Tsuta has made truffle ramen a thing, and many other shops have started using cheap truffle oil in their soups for a chance at Michelin recognition. The new location uses ultra-premium ingredients, including top-level, expensive chicken from Aomori and konbu from Hokkaido. The restaurant has always used top-level, expensive chicken from Aomori and konbu from Hokkaido.
