Carefully selected ingredients are used to make the noodles, which are then boiled in a top-quality pot to achieve the expected firmness. Alternatively, slowly simmer the chashu pork. What a wonderful way to use it! This item was kept unused by my father, who ran a coffee shop. It's from the Showa era, so there's some rust, but I believe it will improve with use. As a bonus, I'm including a used hand-held strainer, favored by professionals for quickly draining noodles. For all you noodle lovers out there, please enjoy! I look forward to your comments.
