Nonokura [Permanently Closed]

Nonokura was opened in December 2017 in Kameari by Shiraiwa Kurato, who trained for seven years at Kudan Ikaruga. The shop's defining feature was its super-high-hydration hand-worked noodles at 53-57% water content, giving extraordinary smooth springy texture. The shop name combined his daughter's name Nonoka and his own name Kurato. Shiraiwa tragically passed away from acute myocardial infarction on February 20, 2023, leading to permanent closure.
