MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Every time there’s an order, you hear the sound of the motorized slicer. It cuts pork fillets thin like uncured ham. The signature dish is salt-flavoured ramen. The dashi is made from whole chicken, kombu and katsuo-bushi, and the glutamic acid and inosinic acid produce a synergy of umami. If you order ‘shimemeshi’, which is rice with chicken, to go with the remaining soup, it’s like you’re having chicken zosui.
