Noriichi
Founded 1949, with over 76 years of history — the original Kagoshima shio ramen. The clear pork-chicken broth is deceptively light yet deeply flavorful. Locals and visitors say 'this is the place when in Kagoshima.' Remarkably affordable at 450 yen. Mainly evening hours, perfect after Tenmonkan entertainment.
Tabelog 3.58 (872 reviews). TripAdvisor 4.0/144 reviews. 'This quality for 450 yen is unreal.' 'The origin of Kagoshima ramen, unchanged since 1949.' 'A midnight shio ramen that hits the soul.' Many locals have been coming for 70+ years. Confirmed open as of August 2025.
