The noodle is usually one kind type, but some places provides their  handmade noodles, and or ask for special orders to noodle shops. How the noodles made is depends on the shop characteristic. Moreover, each shops have their own original  soups.　The make soups from few hours or till few days, that makes the soup more rich and delicious. The soup you see normally is tonkotsu(pork stock), soy sauce, miso, and salt.

Ichiran

First, I want to introduce, “Ichiran” in Shinjuku Kabuki-cho. This shop is very popular in using special flour for the noodles, and it is handmade by professional. The texture of this noodle is way  different than the noodles made by machine. The soup is made from  long research, so I assume you definitely love the taste!
