Chukasoba Sakana Yamago
A chuka soba specialty shop where the star is a 100% chicken soup, simply simmered from Hinai chicken and old chicken with only water. A refined bowl combining a blend of six soy sauces, low-temperature chashu pork, and crunchy menma bamboo shoots. Sells out by early afternoon most days. High reputation since its 2021 opening. A 2nd branch (Hanabatake-cho, tonkotsu-focused) opened in 2023, and a Nikaho location opened in April 2026—showing growth. Stylish renovated old house interior also praised.
Yahoo rating 4.14 (47 reviews). Tabelog 3.40 (135 reviews). Varied high praise: 'The depth of the chicken soup is extraordinary.' 'Always sells out since opening—go early.' 'The old-house atmosphere is wonderful.' 'Top 3 ramen I've had in Akita.'
