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.
