Why this bowl

Three reasons to come hungry

Whipped to a foam, right before serving
01

Broth you taste as foam.

We slowly draw out the savory depth of chicken and tonkotsu (pork bone), then whip the broth into a foam right before serving. Velvety on the lips — then the rich body follows.

Flat noodles made for the broth
02

Flat noodles, fully coated.

Wide, flat noodles lift the foamy broth with every slurp, so noodles and soup hit together. Hearty, satisfying, and made for this bowl.

03

Nine seats, open late.

Look for the glowing round sign at the back of a building passage between Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. A wooden counter for a late dinner — or the classic bowl after drinks.

Signature bowls

Every bowl starts with whipped chicken paitan and flat noodles. Begin with the classic, or take it spicy, garlicky or with mentaiko.
