    Best for

    A Tabelog top-100 chuka soba shop that moved in September 2026 from Sugamo to a spot by Iogi Station. Hand-crumpled noodles and a rich, savoury soup simmered mainly from branded chicken are topped with charcoal-hung roast pork, and the tokusei wonton-men is the signature.

    Now 1 minute from the north exit of Seibu Shinjuku Line Iogi Station (Igusa 3-3-6), not at the old Sugamo address. Opens at 7:00 and closes at 14:00, so it is a morning-to-lunch stop. Closed Mondays and Thursdays. Order the tokusei wonton-men.
