Gesture & etiquette

Hand over your meal ticket, then make a small gesture with your hand to emphasize firmness (optional, but can help convey).

Only request preferences commonly offered by the shop (e.g., 'katame' (firm), 'futomen' (thick noodles), 'hosomen' (thin noodles)). Be quick as staff are usually busy.
