    Tucked into the Ohatsu Tenjin dining alleys of Sonezaki, Mentetsu treats noodles as the star of the dish. Their signature high-hydration straight noodles offer an elastic, slippery texture reminiscent of hand-rolled pasta, resting in a crystal-clear dashi brewed from whole chicken, kelp, and shaved bonito.
