    Kasumi operates in Kyomachibori near Awaza Station, specializing in pure dried-sardine dashi without animal bone heaviness. Dried anchovies and flying fish yield a clear, iodine-sweet seafood broth seasoned with white soy sauce and fragrant sardine aroma oil. Thick hand-kneaded curly noodles carry the seafood dashi.
