Features and Specialities
- To support this delicate broth, Shitomiya uses straight fine noodles noted for their smooth texture and rich wheat fragrance. The sensation of them carrying the soup’s aroma as they pass through is exceptional. No minor detail is overlooked—from the moist, low-temperature cooked chashu pork to the meticulously seasoned bamboo shoots (menma) and the refreshing accent of mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley). Every element performs a perfect ‘Wa-ensemble’ within the bowl.
