Made fresh this morning. Served here today.

The noodles come from the Noodle Room next to Tajima Convoy, a room Sam spent two years building around a noodle machine brought over from Japan. The umami broth is pressure cooked in Crown Point every morning for deep flavor and driven to Plaza Bonita before service.
