Thick, straight whole-wheat noodles with a thick, fish-broth soup. Chashu slow-cooked at 65°C for 2 hours. Featured by Ehime Komachi (2024) and known as one of Ozu's top ramen spots.
Reviewers say: 'The paitan, extra-rich, and tsukemen each have their own charm - unbeatable value,' 'A popular Ozu restaurant with queues,' and 'Thick noodles with great texture.' Lunch-only hours mean queues can form before opening.
