NOJO

Under the steps on Pottinger Street砵典乍街石階之下

NOJO sits in Shop 5 on the ground floor of H CODE, where The Steps spill onto Pottinger Street. The room runs dark: one long timber table down the centre, paper-screened windows, filament bulbs hung low over the wood. You come in off the stone steps, take a seat, and the night slows down.NOJO 位於 H CODE 地下 5 號舖，就在砵典乍街(石板街)的石階旁。店內光線幽暗：中央一張長木桌，和紙窗格，鎢絲燈低垂在木枱之上。從石階走進來，坐下，夜晚便慢了下來。

The kitchen cooks ramen with an izakaya heart and a noticeable Western touch. The soup is made by simmering free-range chicken for eight hours, noodles are lifted to order, and around the bowl sit plates built for sake: sakura shrimp and corn tempura, sake lees fried chicken, kelp and butter fries. The cellar stays small and personal, nine sakes from four family breweries in Fukuoka, Ehime and Yamanashi.廚房以居酒屋的心做拉麵，帶一點西式筆觸。湯底以走地雞熬足八小時，麵條即點即煮;碗旁是為清酒而生的小食：櫻花蝦粟米天婦羅、酒粕醃漬炸雞、昆布牛油薯條。酒藏小而個人，九款清酒來自福岡、愛媛、山梨的四間家族酒藏。
