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。
Since 2011, this counter-only shop in the Tomio area has been Nara's most celebrated ramen destination.
2011年の創業以来、富雄エリアで行列が絶えない奈良を代表するラーメン店。
Its signature foam-style broth - whipped chicken and pork bone in a technique found nowhere else in the region - draws queues forming before the doors even open, weekdays included.
鶏と豚骨を泡立てる独自の泡系スープは奈良で他に類がなく、その一杯を求めて平日でも開店前から行列が伸びる。
A perennial selection in the Ramen 100 Best list for eight consecutive years, yet the chef continues serving just ten counter seats, refusing to compromise on quality.
ラーメン百名店に8年連続で選出されながら、わずか10席のカウンターにこだわり続ける職人気質の名店だ。
