Sugawaraya
A Tome City-certified local-sourcing restaurant in Nakada. The signature dish is 'torimeshi,' teriyaki chicken grilled in a secret sauce served over rice, alongside the popular light-broth 'shina-soba' noodles. Takeout chicken bento boxes are also available. The shop draws local crowds right from its 11am opening, with lines forming for takeout orders on busy days.
A revisit blog from April 2026 reported 'lines still forming at the takeout counter as always' and noted 'truly delicious food draws customers no matter the location,' confirming unchanged popularity after five years. The broth was praised as 'light but so well-seasoned you want to drink it all.'
