About this place
Shiitake noodles are served with a thick sauce built around meaty shiitake mushrooms, along with pork, bamboo shoots and komatsuna. The sauce clings to the fine noodles, and diners have praised the shiitake flavour that infuses the broth as well as the varied textures of the other ingredients. Served piping hot, this is a bowl to take your time over at lunch.
For the same shiitake sauce with a different noodle texture, try the crispy shiitake noodles. Some diners have particularly noted the mushrooms’ substantial texture and satisfying bite. If you fancy something other than shiitake, shrimp fried rice is another option. It has been described as a dish starring generously sized shrimp, with diners also praising its seasoning and the way the rice separates easily.
Hanayoshi is on the basement floor of Sunbright Twin in Nakano-Sakaue. The menu also includes dim sum such as shumai and pan-fried gyoza, and beer is available. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
