    Winner of the TRY Newcomer Grand Prize, Hirai brews a pure quadrupled-animal stock from pork bones, beef bones, whole chicken, and duck without adding any dried seafood dashi. The resulting soup carries deep savory richness balanced by aged shoyu. The kitchen kneads its own dense, slippery flat wheat noodles in house, serving them with charcoal-roasted pork shoulder and thick bamboo shoots fifteen minutes from Kita-Fuchu Station.
