"Tsuta earned the first Michelin star for a ramen shop in Japan, a feat that made gourmet headlines. The star comes from Tsuta's attention to detail: Noodles are made in house from a blend of Japanese flour.; chickens for the soup are sourced from Akita Prefecture; a soy sauce blend using craft shoyu from a small island in the Seto Inland Sea; and a homemade truffle sauce to accent already deep flavors. This is to say, everything is spot on." - Brian MacDuckston
