Ramen & Tsukemen Shingetsu
A veteran Sakata ramen shop founded in 1975. The seafood soy broth combines multiple stocks including flying fish, dried sardines, and chicken bones. Homemade curly noodles. Closes when soup runs out—a sign of real quality. Cash only, closed Sundays, testament to being a true locals' shop.
Reviews note: 'Lines never end even on weekdays,' 'The clean seafood broth is addictive,' 'You need to go early because they close when soup runs out.' Google Maps 4.1, 659 reviews. Many local repeat customers.
