Horaiken
A beloved Showa-era diner-style ramen shop founded in 1967, cherished in Otsuki for over half a century. Famous for unique 'Imo-age Ramen' (topped with deep-fried potato) and 'Niku-age Ramen' (topped with deep-fried meat). Boasts over 23 ramen varieties. About 4 minutes' walk from Otsuki Station. Cash only. A true local gem frequented by residents for both lunch and dinner.
Regulars say 'the Showa-era diner atmosphere is irresistible' and 'imo-age ramen is a one-of-a-kind taste you can't find anywhere else.' Many visitors from both near and far make it a must-stop whenever they come to Otsuki. Tabelog score of 3.44 (137 reviews) reflects the platform's advertising bias, not actual popularity.
