Hikari Shokudo
A beloved local diner, 1-minute walk from Hitachi-Taga Station. Known for authentic niboshi ramen with blended dried sardine and kelp broth. Also popular: meat ankake ramen and jumbo gyoza. 28 seats with tables and raised tatami area. Always lively at lunch.
Long-standing local support: 'close to the station, I come every week,' 'best ramen in Hitachi for this price,' 'jumbo gyoza is filling,' 'the unchanged taste brings comfort.'
