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。
The owner honed his craft for seven years at Ginjoramen Kubota — itself a Tabelog Top 100 ramen shop — before opening independently, and every bowl shows it.
Holding a Tabelog score of 3.72 from 951 reviews and a 4.27 on Yahoo!
Maps, the restaurant has been named to the Tabelog Ramen West Best 100 every year since 2019 and also holds the Michelin Bib Gourmand.
A bowl of pure chicken paitan broth — made from nothing but chicken and water — comes with 100-percent domestic wheat house-made noodles for around 1,000 to 1,200 yen, a price so remarkably low for a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant that ramen enthusiasts are left speechless, and the ten-seat counter is virtually never without a line.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Consecutive Tabelog 100 selection since 2019, Michelin Bib Gourmand holder. Owner trained 7 years at the legendary Ginjo Ramen Kubota. Rich chicken paitan broth made with only chicken and water. Lines are constant — a wait-free day would be surprising.

Yahoo Maps 4.27 rating. The Kubota training shows. The tantanmen mazesoba is addictive. Consistent queues. Tabelog 3.72, 951 reviews.
