In Tokyo, slurping is a compliment.

Noodles cut every morning, broth started the night before, and a counter where nobody minds the noise. Be generous.

The broth

One pot.
Eighteen
hours.

The bones go in at four in the afternoon. The broth is ready at ten the next morning. Nobody leaves it alone for longer than twenty minutes.
