It's been about 60 years since it opened, and as the original Jaja noodles restaurant, there's always a line of customers. It is served with stir-fried meat miso, cucumber, ginger, and green onions on top of hot boiled noodles, and is eaten by adding garlic, vinegar, and chili oil to taste. It is common to mix eggs and make chitan soup after a meal. ● Kawatoku store TEL: 019-651-1111 (Main) ● Fezan store TEL: 019-624-2247

It was built in 1927 (Showa 2) to commemorate the marriage of Emperor Showa. At that time, the modern structure with its exterior decorated with brick attracted attention in Tohoku, and even in today's government district, which is lined with modern buildings, it still catches the eye.
