Recommended bowl: 100% domestic ingredients
Master Okada-san trained at the shop Bunbunmaru before opening Motsuke in 2016. The soup here is made from chicken, katsuo, saba and three different types of niboshi. Every day, Okada-san adjusts the soup bit by bit, so it is constantly evolving. All of his dishes are made with 100% domestic Japanese products, with house-made noodles prepared on site. No MSG. Shoyu-based chuka soba and tantanmen are the specialties. Okada-san is from Tsugaru in Aomori Prefecture. In Tsugaru dialect, 'Motsuke' means a frivolous person.
