Restaurant Overview
Features and Specialties
- The “Pinnacle of Tsukemen” Thundering in Sasaya, Fukui—A Sanctuary for Richness Fanatics, “Sasahara” : An essential shop when discussing tsukemen in Fukui City. Following the lineage of Higashi-Ikebukuro Taishoken associated with Kazuo Yamagishi, it continues to deliver a strong impact to Fukui’s noodle lovers with a heavy bowl evolved uniquely.
- “Ultra-Rich, High-Density Soup” Woven by Seafood and Animal Umami : A thick dipping broth combining the rich body of pork and chicken bones with an explosive seafood umami. The soup, where ingredient flavors are condensed to the limit, is full of power that shakes the senses with one sip.
- “Extra-Thick Chewy Homemade Noodles” Overwhelmingly Carrying the Soup : Boasting a presence that holds its own against the rich soup, these extra-thick noodles are kneaded in-shop every morning. With high wheat density, an elastic push-back, and a smooth finish, they release umami more as you chew, perfectly entwining with the soup.
