    The Mitaka branch of TETSU, one of the pioneers of the thick pork-and-seafood tsukemen boom, right inside the station building at Mitaka's south exit. Chewy noodles go with a rich tonkotsu-gyokai dip, and you can ask for a hot stone (yakiishi) to reheat the soup.

    Recommended order

    Tsukemen (つけめん)

    Branch of the TETSU tsukemen chain (multiple shops) — brief says exclude big chains; TETSU is mid-size, so kept but flagged for your call. Hotpepper page carries outdated COVID-era short hours; used the official site (11:00–23:00). Hot-stone tip from GLT Japan directory.
