What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedThe definitive example of Niigata's '5 great ramen' category: clear soy sauce. A postwar institution with a clear broth and thin noodles beloved for decades. The Shinano-cho branch closed in December 2024, but the Nishibori main store and Ekiminami Keyaki-dori store continue operation.
Locals say: 'You can't claim to know Niigata without eating here.' 'The pinnacle of simplicity; unchanged for decades.' 'Gets crowded but worth the wait.'
