"Honda has been loved for years for their noodles made in-house with Hokkaido flour, but their previous location north on the Yamanote train line made them a bit of a trek to visit. In April 2020, they moved locations to bustling Akhikabara, seconds from the train station gates, where they continued making the noodles on-site. The noodles come out with a firm, chewy texture, excellent in any preparation: shoyu tsukemen with a sharp soy sauce taste, shio tsukemen with a more subtle flavor, or soupless tantanmen with a hit of subtle spice." - Brian MacDuckston
