    Three minutes from Shin-Koiwa Station North Exit, Menya Itto stands as one of Japan's most celebrated tsukemen shops. Founder Yukihiko Sakamoto extracts chicken collagen over multiple stages before steeping the stock with five kinds of dried seafood and scallop oil. Diners dip thick, house-kneaded wheat noodles into the velvety soup, served alongside three types of low-temperature pork and chicken chashu with fragrant shiso-minced chicken meatballs.
