— Clear salt broth from sea bream bones, with house noodles
The main dish is tai shio soba, built around a clear tai shio (sea bream salt) broth drawn from simmered sea bream heads, bones, and flesh. The broth keeps animal-based heaviness low and brings out seafood flavor. The noodles are house-made to the owner's blend, thin and straight so they cling to the broth. Toppings include chicken chashu, a seasoned egg, greens, shredged white scallion, and lemon slices; squeezing the lemon at the end shifts the balance of flavor. There are also side items such as a tai chazuke (sea bream over rice with broth) set and tai-meshi (sea bream rice). The original Tai Shio Soba Touka opened in Kojimachi in 2012 and runs several locations, including the sister shop Noodle Boutique (ebi shio / shrimp salt soba). The Ikebukuro Tobu branch is on the 13th floor of Tobu Department Store in the Spice floor.
