Juhachiban
Founded in 1968, the soul food ramen of Noshiro City. Only open for lunch 4 weekdays—so exclusive it's called the 'phantom ramen.' A small house with a hard-to-find entrance, but locals consistently say 'Juhachiban is the ramen place in Noshiro.' The unique light broth with lemon in the soy sauce base is addictive.
