An authentic Japanese noodle house. Our broth is simmered for two full days, drawing a deep, well-developed flavor that can only be described by experiencing it.
From the first sip of broth to the last strand of noodle, every bowl is a tribute to Kumamoto. Warm hospitality, bold flavor, and a quiet devotion to doing things the slow way — that is the Terakawa way.
Our Story
Signature bowls, Kumamoto roots. Each is built on a Berkshire pork bone broth and finished by hand — a short list, made properly.
Berkshire pork bone broth, thin straight noodle, chashu, bamboo shoots, kikurage, red ginger, scallions and a seasoned egg.
Tonkotsu with chicken and seafood broth, wavy egg noodle, chashu, kimchee, kikurage, bean sprout and egg.
Pork bone broth with mayu oil — dark roasted leek and crushed garlic — chashu, red ginger and a seasoned egg.
Light soy and chicken broth, wavy egg noodle, roast pork or chicken, bamboo shoots, fish cake and egg.
Mayu pork broth, medium-thick noodle, chashu, two seasoned eggs, kikurage, cabbage and bean sprouts.
Slow-roasted pork, crisp butter leaf lettuce, cured tomato and spicy mayo on a soft or crispy bun.
Simmered for a full two days until the pork bones surrender a deep, well-developed flavor that can only be described by experiencing it.
Two styles — thick wavy egg, or thin straight Kyushu — both made fresh and cooked al dente, as they keep cooking in the broth.
