    Best for

    A family-friendly shop opened in October 2022 (a Year of the Tiger, hence the name, and the owner is a die-hard Hanshin Tigers fan) with a no-MSG approach meant to suit three generations. Its abura soba placed in the TRY 2023 new-shop soupless category, and the pork-soy tsukemen is a popular order.
