    Premium Jidori Chicken Soba (極上地鶏そば)

    The Michelin Bib claim is only from the samura-men article title (3年連続ミシュランビブ); the year range was not read, so it is flagged as 'reported'. Price band estimated (an old local listing gave ¥780 for the basic bowl; current prices are higher). The official site 20-1.jp returned 403. The Hotpepper page is an empty shell. Shoyu is likely but not confirmed, so broth_style lists only Chicken and Shio.
