WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Tabelog 3.66 with 1,049 reviews.
Consecutively selected for Tabelog Ramen WEST Top 100 in 2024 and 2025.
Locals say 'no one in Kumamoto doesn't know this place.' Lines of 50+ people before opening even on weekdays.
Serious preparation using 700kg of pork bones daily.
Located in a residential area 1.7km from Kumamoto IC, with regulars rather than tourists as the core customers.
A rich ramen bowl at 950 yen is remarkably affordable for this quality.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Kumamoto's ultimate rich tonkotsu ramen shop, using over 700kg of pork bones daily. Selected for Tabelog Ramen WEST Top 100 in both 2024 and 2025. Lines form before opening even on weekdays. Rich yet smooth pork bone broth with fragrant ma-yu oil. Free parking available.

Reviews consistently mention 'lines of nearly 50 people before opening even on weekdays,' 'a legendary ramen no Kumamoto resident can ignore,' and 'rich with back fat yet surprisingly mellow without any off-putting smell.' A regular on the Tabelog Top 100 list.
