Recommended bowl: 30 years of service

This relaxing and comfortable shop is run by master Hirotomi, who’s been at the helm for over 30 years. Having never trained at another shop, he's a self-taught seasoned veteran of the Hachioji scene. The bowls here are similar to the typical Hachioji-style in appearance but with a smooth, fishy niboshi kick. Several types of niboshi, pork bones, carrots, kelp, onions, and garlic are in the soup. No MSG.
