Fake reviews removed

Opened independently in 2009 by the top disciple of Fukuoka's prestigious Tenjin Hata ramen school. Authentic Hakata-style tonkotsu in Kusatsu, Shiga. Selected as Tabelog Ramen WEST Best 100 for 2024. Known for a smooth, low-odor pork bone broth in true Hakata style, with extra-firm noodles available. Lines form before opening at lunch, making it the leading ramen shop in the Kusatsu-Ritto area.

Reviewers say: 'Rare to find authentic Hakata tonkotsu quality outside Fukuoka.' 'The broth is smooth with no off-smell.' 'Love the Hakata-style option to choose noodle firmness.' Tabelog 3.66/674 reviews. Featured in Kansai Ramen KING (2022) and mail-order ramen service Takumen. No sakura suspicion.
