Hot Air Corporation (Michelin Chicken Ramen)
Listed in the 'Michelin Guide Kyoto/Osaka + Tottori 2019' as a Bib Gourmand—an unusual ramen shop that looks like a used car dealership. 'Kiwami Shio' uses chicken as the star, combined with fish and dried ingredients, with no MSG—called 'a dashi dish that transcends ramen.' 7 min walk from JR Hamura Station. Tabelog 3.52, 244 reviews. Supervised a Lawson nationwide cup ramen launch in November 2025. Visited by celebrities including Tetsurou Degawa and HikaKin.
"It looks like a car shop, but inside it's another dimension. The soup is on another level." "Michelin recognition is fully deserved. This quality in this town is one of a kind." "Worth taking the train from downtown Tottori just for this." "Has become the lunch spot for local office workers—a genuine local gem."
