Maru Debu Sohonten
Founded in 1917 (Taisho 6), this is Gifu's soul food. The menu has only two items—Chinese noodle soup and wonton—both at 600 yen. The clear chicken-soy broth with thin wavy noodles has remained unchanged for over 100 years. A landmark of Gifu's Yanagase district, lovingly called 'Maru Debu' by locals. Over 920 Tabelog reviews make it Gifu's most-reviewed ramen shop.
"Always eat here when visiting Gifu," "A miracle to maintain the same price and taste for 100 years," "The simplicity is irresistible." Many local voices. Tabelog 3.61 (920 reviews). Often sells out before closing time.
