リッチ 釜玉 / Rich Kamatama / Kamatama Chūka Soba Napoleonken — Toritsu-daigaku, Tokyo

Kamatama soba is a composition of noodles soaked in shoyu tare sauce, katsuo dashi soup, pork back fat and sesame oil, finished with a raw egg. Other toppings feature pork chashu, menma, spicy negi and ground black pepper. The noodles are house-made from scratch each morning at a sister store, Izohachi in Yūtenji. Free condiments on the counter include fried negi, spicy garlic chives, chili oil, garlic, ginger, yuzu shichimi and shiitake vinegar. Based on kamatama udon (udon w/ dashi, shoyu and a raw egg).

The inspiration for Napoleonken comes from the idea that if the noodles are really great, this is how you want to eat them. Run by master Komiya-san, who founded the legendary Tsukemen Tetsu. Shop manager Nakazawa-san is one of the original staff at Tetsu, he has been working with Komiya-san for over 15 years. Seven seats. Open since March 2022. @napoleon_toritsudai
