This special soup emphasizes the use of strictly sourced ingredients: domestic chicken, yuzu from Tokushima, and Aichi's Hatcho miso. The vermicelli accompanies the soup and is specially manufactured in Nara without bleaching, offering unique texture and quality.
The Thought Behind the Broth
The broth is prepared using over 30 types of freshly ground herbal spices blended with delicate chicken soup and fragrant dashi, delivering a rich depth of flavor. Only the freshest ingredients are selected, showcasing traditional Japanese methods merged with a modern approach to medicinal cuisine.
