The signature Gachi Aburasoba comes with a thick, slightly chewy noodle coated in a soy-based tare, topped with chashu pork, menma bamboo shoots, nori, and green onion. Free large-size portions are a beloved perk. The menu also includes Shiru-nashi Tantanmen (a dry Sichuan-style spicy sesame noodle dish) and various rice toppings.
