The broth itself is a work of art. A clear soup made from dried shrimp mackerel various meats and kombu seaweed. There’s a choice of broths. A soy sauce based black dashi a sweet white one or a blend of both. The wontons are legendary. Plump juicy and filled with pork or shrimp. The noodles are perfectly al dente.
