A legendary niboshi ramen shop in Kawaguchi where queues form from 6:30 AM. The star is a daily-changing niboshi (dried sardine) broth—the composition shifts every day, making each bowl unique. Backed by an equally serious spice curry. Tabelog Ramen EAST Top 100 in 2021, 2024, and 2025 (three times). Tabelog 3.74/729 reviews. Yahoo Maps 4.22/167 reviews. Only 8 counter seats, but regulars and dedicated visitors come from afar. Opened June 2020. 7-minute walk from Kawaguchi Station West Exit. Cash only, ticket machine (1,000-yen bills).

「The broth changes every time—maddeningly delicious.」「Lines from 6:30 AM; even on weekdays at least 8 people wait.」「The niboshi intensity and aroma are on another level. Didn't expect this in Kawaguchi.」「Being selected for Top 100 three times is no fluke. I come every month.」「The morning 1,000-yen set has absurd value. Is this really okay?」
