WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Opened in 2020, the restaurant carries on the legacy of its predecessor Tsurumen, a long-established eatery with over 15 years of history, adding a unique twist to clear-broth ramen.
It holds a Tabelog score of 3.65 with 370 reviews and has earned enough recognition from local ramen fans to be featured in a dedicated article in Ramen Walker magazine.
With prices in the 1,000-1,500 yen range, the mastery inherited from a renowned predecessor is accessible to all, and many posts describe it as a hidden gem in Tsurumi Ward.
It draws crowds at both lunch and dinner, but with counter seating only, turnover is brisk.
