About this place
The first dish to catch the eye at Kanae is the special rich seafood and tonkotsu dipping noodles, described on the menu as “Our No. 1”. Diners who ordered it have praised the dipping broth for its depth without being cloying. They reported that it came with simmered pork, onion and menma, with a seasoned egg and roast pork alongside the noodles. Another diner noted how well the noodles picked up the broth, with onion adding a welcome accent. For a generous bowl combining seafood flavour with the richness of tonkotsu, this is a natural place to start.
The rich seafood and tonkotsu broth is the main draw, but the menu also includes sweet-and-spicy and curry dipping noodles, as well as spicy mixed noodles, offering different flavours within the noodle selection. One diner found the sweet dipping broth particularly memorable, making it an option for anyone curious about a sweeter style. Beyond dipping noodles, there are special Chinese-style soup noodles in soy sauce or savoury salt flavours, as well as tantan noodles. A diner’s comments on the Chinese-style soup noodles recalled the bonito-based broth and soft-cooked egg; they are worth considering if you would prefer a bowl of soup noodles to dipping noodles.
To adjust the size of the meal, you can add a soft-cooked seasoned egg or pair your noodles with a fried chicken rice bowl or a spring onion and roast pork rice bowl. The restaurant is described as a counter-service spot where diners buy meal tickets, with an atmosphere suited to eating alone. Takeaway and delivery are also available. Payment is cash only, so it is best to bring cash.
