Ramen Shibahama
Selected for Tabelog Ramen EAST Top 100 for 9 consecutive years (confirmed for 2025). Famous for 'morning ramen' from 7am. The signature 'Komugi Zanmai' (Japan's first ramen kaiseki: mazesoba → tsukemen → ramen, 3-course) lets you compare the flavors of different wheat varieties. Tabelog 3.81/941 — among the very highest in Gunma Prefecture. Pre-opening queues are the norm; sells out before noon on many days. TripAdvisor #2 in Kiryu (4.4/5). Featured on TV Asahi 'Asamesimade' in February 2025.
Tabelog 3.81/941, 38,976 saves. Tabelog Top 100 for 9 consecutive years (confirmed 2025). TripAdvisor #2 Kiryu (4.4/5, 16 reviews). Multiple reports of '7am queues' and '1-hour wait arriving 30 min after opening'. Regulars say 'most popular ramen in Kiryu City' and 'worth waiting for dashi-rich Japanese-style ramen'. Zero PR or sakura traces. Selling out before close confirms authenticity.
