Recommended bowl: Dope tsukemen

An interesting shop slightly hidden off of a quiet street in Itabashi. The space is a bit cramped inside, with a long L-shaped counter. Advertised as a tsukesoba shop, Shu's noodles are jikaseimen (house-made) and the presentation is thoughtfully put together. The soup is a rich tonkotsu gyokai and the tsukesoba comes served with a side of moyashi in a separate bowl. Choice toppings and a lemon wedge round things out. Expect a thick mixture of tonkotsu soup with fishy bits boiled down into an explosion of umami.
