Recommended bowl: Eifukucho style

Hōya Taishouken in Hōya draws direct lineage from the legendary Eifukucho Taishouken, serving piping hot massive bowls of old-school Tokyo style chūka soba made from niboshi and vegetable shoyu soup. Medium curly noodles are supplied by Taishouken, with options for wontons, although some customers often ask for less noodles. Open for over 50 years, however moved and reopened in a new location nearby in 2011.
