The shoyu tare is made by taking leftover chashu tare sauce and first boiling it, then letting it rest for several days. Afterwards various dried fish are added, including katsuobushi, saba-bushi, niboshi, and aji niboshi. The sauce is then aged for several days more, developing a deep, mellow flavor. Noodles are house-made using a flour blend, including Hoshin brand flour from Hokkaido. Conveniently located just a few minutes from Toyama station, open since 1997. Less
