Recommended bowl: Noodle creators

This offshoot of the Shinagawa-based Hashizume Seimen noodle factory has been open since 2012 and specializes in dishes containing fresh noodles made with a variety of different ingredients. Before selecting your soup, you must choose from a range of noodle options, such as noodles made with burdock root, Moroheiya, sansho and tomato, among others. The menu seems to change frequently and can vary from chili-infused tantanmen, green curry chicken dipping noodles, or clear, chicken-based soup. The shop is neat, chic, and typical of the upscale surrounding area of Hiroo. The dishes are all well-prepared and look and taste intriguing. A shop worthy of multiple visits.
