Ninomiya Kinjiro Ramen
Ramen restaurant in an astonishing location—amid rice paddies a 10-minute drive upriver from Sukumo town center. After 9 years training at local favorite 'Mankiya,' the owner converted the family barn and opened independently. Philosophy of 'I want people to eat healthy things': no additives, soup blending seafood dashi with potage. House-made noodles. Bright cafe-style interior welcoming to solo female diners.
Reviews say 'definitely worth going out of your way for!—Sukumo's superb potage-style ramen,' 'additive-free and healthy, stylish cafe vibe,' and 'quality you wouldn't expect in the middle of rice paddies.' Listed on the Kochi Prefecture official gourmet site 'Kouchi-ke no ○○.' Also featured in Kochi Don! and multiple local media.
