Fake reviews removed

The premier ramen restaurant of Nagaoka City. Selected for Ramen Top 100 East 2025 and awarded Michelin Guide Niigata 2020 Bib Gourmand. Acclaimed for its singular focus on salt ramen made with yakiago (grilled flying fish). Fans travel from outside the prefecture. Always has a queue. Ticket machine, lunch-only.

Top reviews include 'Worth the trip all the way to Nagaoka,' 'Moved by the clear soup filled with the aroma of grilled flying fish,' and 'Absolutely worth the wait.' Many fans from outside the prefecture.
