The noodle dishes we ordered were good, just a little salty. The non-alcoholic sake drink was interesting. I was not able to try their mochi but they looked good!

Simple and delicious noodle. I had their signature noodle soup and assorted mochi. The mochi is so soft and chewy. Order from vending machine. If you are a foreigner, there's an english menu beside the vending machine. Waiters are helpful and friendly. The table turnover is fast. The place is clean and organised.

The best noodles I’ve had since moving here. They were the perfect texture and so bouncy.

Didn’t try the mochi. They were out when we arrived at 2 pm. Queue was pretty long. Maybe it was weekends. The tsusemen was better than the udon. We also ordered a green tea soft serve. It was bland.
You have to buy ticket first and then when you get to the cashier, he/she will give you the seat. Ramen/udon will be served after. The hot tea is self served.

Staff were extremely kind and patient to me despite my lack of Japanese, and the food as shown in the picture was simply delicious- noodles were perfectly chewy and the fish nice and sweet.
The lady who worked there was kind enough to give me some postcards of Hakone! The best service!
