Kafutei
One of the top Shirakawa ramen shops, known alongside Tora Shokudo. Charcoal-grilled chashu and daily hand-made wavy noodles define the experience. The light soy sauce broth with deep umami earned first place at the 2024 Japan Local Ramen Championship. Expect a line before opening.
Regulars say the charcoal chashu is in a class of its own. Lines form 30 minutes before opening. Both locals and visitors praise the harmony of hand-made noodles and the broth.
