Fake reviews removed

A long-established Hachioji ramen shop founded in 1983, in the Takao Station area. Despite being over 15 minutes by bus from the station, queues are constant. In addition to the signature chopped onion of Hachioji ramen, uniquely famous for the crunchy texture of ultra-thin menma (bamboo shoots) — a characteristic found nowhere else. Google/Yahoo rating 4.29, Tabelog 3.62, 315 reviews. Won the Hachioji Shop Award in March 2025. Many reviews say 'I come all the way from far away just for this flavor.'

"Worth the trip even far from the station — this is the real Hachioji ramen." "The crunch of ultra-thin menma is supreme. After eating here, other shops feel unsatisfying." "Over 40 years since founding and the flavor never wavers. This is what a true ramen shop is."
