Noodles, broth and the kitchen

The restaurant is award-winning and Michelin recognised, and its kitchen is led by chef Tomoharu Shono. Noodles are handmade with premium Mochi wheat from Iwate, Japan. The menu follows a Farm to Bowl approach that combines Japanese craftsmanship with Australian produce, so the broth and toppings change with the ingredients.
