    Founded by a head apprentice from Meguro's famed Kazura, China Soba Komuro serves chintan noodles six minutes on foot from Gyotoku Station. The broth combines free-range chicken and pork bones with dried sardines and kelp into an immaculate amber soup. Thin, silky wonton skins wrap seasoned pork and whole shrimp fillings, poached to order.
