    Trained at Kanda's famed Kakushiaji lineage, the chef at Jikuu brews crystal-clear golden broth from whole heritage chickens, pork, and assorted dried seafood. Seasoned with a pristine salt tare blending Mongolian rock salt and sea salt, the soup coats fine straight noodles flecked with whole wheat. The bowl features tender pink sous-vide pork chashu, seasoned menma, and fragrant green chives twelve minutes from Takaido Station.
