Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1934, the birthplace and shrine of Tsubame-Sanjo style backfat ramen. The first owner, Xu Changxing from Zhejiang Province, created this style for local metalworkers: extra-thick flat noodles, generous backfat, and dried sardine soy broth. Now famous nationwide. 70 seats, always full. Selected for Ramen East Hyakumei-ten 2025.

Tabelog 3.75 (1,526 reviews), TripAdvisor 4.5 (47 reviews), #2 in Tsubame. Reviews: 'Grew up in Tsubame, crave it and come once a month,' 'No matter how many times I eat it, it's the origin and the perfection,' 'New Year's Eve tradition is to come for year-end ramen.' No sakura concerns.
