Chuka Soba Hiro (Tokushima White-style Ramen)
A family-run Chinese noodle shop representing the 'white-style' school — one of Tokushima ramen's three major styles — in Anan City. The pale, creamy broth slow-simmered from pork bones and chicken carcass has little of the typical pork-bone smell, surprising first-time visitors with its mellow character. Iricas — stir-fried beef offal with sudachi citrus — is a rare local Tokushima specialty few shops offer. Tabelog 3.40 / 91 reviews. The definitive white-style Tokushima ramen representative in Anan City. 10-min walk from Anan Station.
Reviews say 'the definitive white-style Tokushima ramen — the creamy, gentle flavor is addictive,' 'iricas is a piece of Tokushima culture you can't eat anywhere else,' and 'the family-run warmth of the place is part of the appeal.' A regular entry in Tokushima ramen blogs and notes. Locals come for both lunch and dinner.
