    Led by master Takashi Shimizu, Oudouya stands among the most influential independent Iekei shops in eastern Japan. Kitchen staff boil tons of pork and chicken bones daily to craft an intensely rich emulsion balanced by high-salinity craft soy sauce tare. In-house manufactured thick flat noodles hold the broth firmly, paired with charcoal-smoked chashu and customizable noodle firmness, broth oil, and sauce intensity.
