Overview
A weathered noodle counter where Morioka's signature jajamen is served the old way, thick udon in spicy meat miso sauce.
One of Morioka's original jajamen shops, serving the city's distinctive flat noodle dish topped with minced pork, miso paste, cucumber, and ginger. The real ritual comes after eating: leave a bit of noodle in your bowl, crack in a raw egg, and the chef adds hot noodle broth to make 'chi-tan-tan' egg soup, a secret second course that defines the local experience. The shop is tiny, worn, and completely authentic.
Local tips
Do not finish all your noodles. Leave about a quarter, then ask for chi-tan-tan. The chef will crack an egg in, add broth, and you get a rich egg soup as your second course.
