I'd like to order extra noodles, but can I choose the noodle hardness?

Yes, you can choose. We have "bari-kata" (extra firm), "kata" (firm), "futsū" (regular), and "yawarakame" (soft).
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up an empty bowl or make a gesture for adding.
Do not linger after finishing your meal, especially during peak hours. Some shops might have unique rules for kae-dama.
