Pekin
A long-established Chinese ramen shop in Kashiwazaki's Nishikicho. The signature 'umani ramen' — hot ramen topped with vegetable-laden thick sauce — is a local icon. Lines form at lunch. Called one of the 'Kashiwazaki Ramen Four Heavenly Kings.' Tabelog shows regulars noting their 4th, 8th, and 9th visits.
124 Tabelog reviews. Many repeat visitors (4th, 8th, 9th visits). 'Umani stays hot to the last bite,' 'crunchy fresh vegetables,' 'been coming since before COVID.' Ratings range 1.0–4.2, natural distribution with no templated sakura reviews.
