    Best for

    Operating inside Onomichi Hondori Shopping Arcade since 1945, Mendokoro Miyachi preserves a rare Showa-era noodle tradition with its signature Tenpura Chuka. The kitchen extracts pure, oil-free dashi from dried small fish (neboso) and kelp. Cooks float a freshly fried local shrimp tempura patty atop pale noodles, allowing savory batter to soften into the clear seafood soup.
