WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
After honing his skills at a celebrated Osaka ramen shop, the owner struck out on his own in Nara in 2020 — and within just five years earned a spot on the Tabelog Hyakumeiten list three years running, along with the Grand Prix in the tsukemen category of the 2022 Kansai edition of a prestigious ramen guide.
大阪の有名店で修業後、2020年に奈良で独立した店主が、わずか5年でラーメン百名店を3年連続受賞し「究極のラーメン2022」関西版つけ麺部門グランプリも獲得した実力店。
Every component is handcrafted in-house: noodles, broth, tare, chashu, menma, and marinated eggs, yet the price stays around 1,000 yen.
麺・スープ・カエシ・チャーシュー・メンマ・煮卵のすべてを手仕込みにこだわりながら、1,000円前後という良心的な価格を貫く。
On weekends lines form before the doors even open, and regulars never tire of marveling that this level of all-house-made craftsmanship can be found at such a price even by Kansai standards.
土日は開店前から行列が絶えず、「関西でも自家製全部でこの値段は本当に珍しい」と地元の常連たちを唸らせ続けている。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A celebrated chicken paitan ramen shop near Naramachi, about 7 minutes from Kintetsu Nara Station. Owner Kitao trained at the acclaimed 'Ramen Jinsei JET' in Osaka before going independent. Everything — noodles, broth, seasoning sauce, chashu, menma, eggs — is house-made. Open since January 2020. Selected for Tabelog Ramen West 100 three consecutive years.

Diners praise: 'Remarkable value for fully house-made everything,' 'The tsukemen broth is so rich you drink it to the last drop,' 'Queues form before opening on weekends.' A proven winner at Kansai Ramen Grand Prix.
