    Best for

    Menpachi Otayaten brings the legacy of Imizu's famed Toyama Black master to central Takaoka, two minutes from Suehirocho tram stop. The kitchen crafts dark, aromatic soy sauce broth enriched with pork bone dashi to avoid excessive bitterness. Thick, springy curly noodles arrive submerged beneath thick slices of melt-in-the-mouth rolled pork chashu.
