Tsuke-tantanmen specialist founded in 2007. Just 9 counter seats along National Route 171, but selected for Tabelog Ramen WEST Top 100 three consecutive years (2023-2025). Lines form before opening — 25+ queuing even on weekday lunches. The white sesame tsuke-tantanmen pairs house-made noodles with a rich sesame-based broth. Closes when soup runs out. Cash only.
Reviews: 'You have to queue 30 minutes before opening to get in,' 'three consecutive Top 100 awards are no accident,' 'this richness at this price is a miracle in Nagaokakyo.' Locals and food tourists rave alike. Often closes early when soup runs out — arrive early. Tabelog 3.65/799 reviews, 19,913 saves. Queue of 10 waiting outside + 6 inside even right after opening independently confirmed.
