    Two minutes from Tawaramachi Station along Asakusa-dori, Tokichiro focuses exclusively on sesame-forward tantanmen. The kitchen stone-grinds aromatic sesame seeds into dense white or roasted black sesame paste, blending it with clear chicken stock and house-infused red chili oil. Springy noodles hold mounds of sweet stir-fried ground pork and crisp bok choy with balanced Sichuan pepper warmth.
