Kiichi
Famous for its 'light salt ramen' that won 1st place for 2 consecutive years in Fukushima's Ramen Election. The blended salt from Yamagata and Akita creates a beautifully clear yet deeply umami broth. Only open weekdays, closes when soup runs out. Tabelog Ramen East Top 100 2025.
Reviews note '2-year #1 salt ramen is on another level', 'the soup is so clear yet packed with umami', 'weekday-only makes it precious', 'worth a special trip to Kitakata just for this'.
