江戸中華そば / Edo Chūka Soba / Nihonryōri Takamura - Akita, Akita

Nostalgic Edo style shoyu soup contains two types of jidori chickens, including Hinai Jidori. The shoyu tare is made with leftover soba kaeshi (sauce). Noodles are thin straight Hakata style, shipped in directly from Fukuoka. Run by master Takamura-san, Nihonryōri Takamura specializes in Japanese kaiseki / kappo, widely considered one of the best restaurants in Akita Prefecture. The standard finish to meals is usually a rice dish, occasionally Takamura-san will make ramen instead. Open since 1999.
