Maybe our Japan experts could pinpoint it by that description? For all I know it's the most famous noodle shop anywhere
Honestly, though, most of the best meals we had were the ones we happened on rather than sought out, and there were many of them! Best sushi was on a little side street somewhere in Asakusa ... couldn't tell you where
Same here. The best meals were ones where we just popped into a little hole in the wall with the husband cooking and the wife doing everything else. In Kyoto, we stopped at a tiny place with only counter seating on my way home from doing laundry. Awesome, awesome food and the most fun time, especially after two girls showed up who proceeded to eat and drink more than any man and were killing themselves laughing at my pathetic attempts at speaking Japanese. Can't wait to go back next year.
