What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1948 (Showa 23). Said to be the origin of Okayama ramen, located in Hokancho 5 min walk from Okayama Station west exit, facing rival shop Fujiya. Chinese soba for just 650 yen. Michelin Plate awardee. Also said to be the originator of 'Katsu Soba' (ramen topped with tonkatsu, an Okayama-original).

Reviews say 'The taste unchanged since 1948 — a must when I am in Okayama,' 'I have been coming here since my 20s, for 30 years,' and 'I cannot believe this quality at this price — Okayama is the best.' Confirmed busy in July and October 2025 reviews. Tabelog 638 reviews, saved 12,696.
