"The only Tabelog Top 100 soba in Hiroshima—worth coming to Fukuyama just for this." "Hand-cut thin noodles and a seemingly simple yet deeply layered duck broth: unbelievable quality for ¥1,650." "The couple's warm hospitality makes you want to return again and again." "Lunch ends when ingredients run out, so reservations are a must."
