    Morisoba Tsukemen (もりそば)

    The 1st/3rd/5th-Tuesday closures are in hours_note only, not closed_days. The Taishoken lineage is from the name and a blogger comparing it to the closed Hachioji Taishoken; the exact affiliation (e.g. noren-kai membership) was not confirmed. The Hotpepper hits were other shops. Price band estimated.
