    Trained at Kadoya Shokudo, the master of Uemachi crafts pristine clear broth five minutes from Tanimachi 6-chome Station. The soup extracts umami from Nara Yamato-nikudori chicken, Kagoshima Kurobuta pork, and premium dried seafood dashi. Silky in-house straight noodles float beneath pink pork loin chashu, tender braised bamboo shoots, and green scallions.
