    Chuka Soba Tomita stands as the reigning benchmark of Japanese dipping noodles under master Osamu Tomita, four minutes from Matsudo Station East Exit. Star of the documentary Ramen Heads, Tomita simmers Berkshire Kurobuta pork bones, pork heads, and poultry for over twenty hours before folding in dense Kochi dried bonito and Ibuki mackerel. The thick, square-cut whole-wheat noodles are milled on-site from domestic wheat flours and rinsed in ice water. Diners select pork cuts from breeds including Tokyo-X and Kashiwa Gen-pork. For walk-in diners without an Omakase booking, Tomita operates the nearby sister diner Matsudo Tomita Shokudo.
