Suisha Namasoba (Handmade Soba)
The originator of Tori-Chuka (chicken ramen using soba broth, chicken, and tenkasu), a Tendo institution. With roots going back to the Edo period, the pure fresh soba noodles are ground from Yamagata and Hokkaido buckwheat using a water wheel and stone mill. Tabelog's most-reviewed restaurant in the Tendo/Higashine area (1,459 reviews). 300 seats and 80-car parking, yet they continue to hand-make every bowl with artisan craftsmanship.
Reviews say: 'This is the original Tori-Chuka—a unique ramen with Japanese soba broth,' 'My family keeps coming back because we want both soba and Tori-Chuka,' 'Great for families with the large parking lot.'
