The story behind the bowl

Shigeta is Kobe’s top-ranked specialist for thick, wheat-fragrant house noodles and an intense pork-and-dried-fish dipping broth, lifted by a small edge of yuzu.

Before you go: Taste one noodle plain before dipping, then coat only its lower half so the wheat is not buried.
