Just a short walk from Higashi-Koenji Station on the Marunouchi Line, Dashi to Men Yuuyo is an intimate spot with only 6 counter seats and table seats, earning acclaim for its ultra-thick handmade noodles kneaded every morning and paired with Japanese-style dashi. Its signature dish is aburasoba, featuring chewy noodles with a satisfying bite reminiscent of udon or mochi, coated in a Japanese dashi base sauce. Guests can break the yolk of a seasoned egg, dip the noodles tsukemen-style into the side serving of dashi, or pour in the dashi as a soup-wari, ensuring the meal never feels monotonous through multiple stages of flavor shifts. The dashi soba, fragrant with soup stock made from multiple dried ingredients, and the summer-only chilled noodle dish Hiyaniku are also well-regarded, offering options that delight noodle enthusiasts. The restaurant operates on a first-come, first-served basis on weekdays and requires reservations on weekends and holidays; reserved guests are treated to noodle sashimi—wide noodles enjoyed simply with olive oil and salt. Attentive and comfortably distanced service adds to the pleasant experience, making this a bowl anyone can drop in to enjoy comfortably on their own.
