Kanamaru Honten Chicken Specialty Restaurant
A Motomiya institution dating back to the Taisho era, originally a poultry wholesale business. The signature chuka soba made with rich chicken bone broth is exceptional — reviews rave about 'amazing chicken dashi!' and the chicken salt ramen. Tabelog 3.56/194 reviews (highest rated ramen in Motomiya). So popular that even the second-floor tatami rooms fill up. Priced under 1,000 yen.
Reviews include: 'Revisited after a while — as popular as ever, still packed after lunchtime!' 'The chicken dashi is incredible!' 'A light broth, but the chicken umami gently fills your mouth.' Tabelog 3.56/194 reviews, Yahoo Maps 4.15/30 reviews. A genuine local institution with roots in the Taisho era.
