    Best for

    A lunch-only shop by Soshigaya-Okura Station, opened in February 2026, built around extra-thick house-made noodles. The signature kuroabura soba (black-fat soba) and a pork-and-seafood chuka soba both lean rich, with a spicy add-on for heat.

    Kuroabura Soba (黒脂蕎麦)

    Pre-opened 27 Feb 2026 (ramen8). Broth style from an Instagram reel hashtag (#豚骨魚介ラーメン); shoyu assumed for the chuka soba, so it is low confidence.
