Tamana Ramen Senryu
One of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of Tamana ramen. The pork-bone broth, simmered over high heat, is deceptively clean-finishing despite its rich appearance. The owner's dedication to 'facing each bowl of ramen individually' draws loyal local fans; queues form at both lunch and dinner. Listed on the official Tamana City and Kumamoto Prefecture tourism sites.
