Despite opening in 2022, has gained stable support.
Single location, no chain expansion.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A branch opened in 2022 in Kuroiso, Nasu-Shiobara, by Midorikawa, a direct apprentice of Tora Shokudo in Shirakawa, Fukushima — the sacred ground of Shirakawa ramen. Handmade flat noodles every morning, irregular in shape, paired with a clear soy sauce broth from chicken and pork bones — embodying authentic Shirakawa-style ramen. Tabelog 184 reviews, Yahoo Maps 4.21 (23 reviews). Lines form even before 11am on weekdays. The chashu ramen featuring 4 types (thigh, shoulder loin, belly, and kaburi) is especially popular.

Numerous reviews on Retty and Tabelog say: 'Superb texture and smoothness of the handmade noodles,' 'Characteristic sharp kaeshi of Shirakawa-style with delicate dashi,' 'Arrived at 11am on a weekday and waited as the 5th group, fully seated right after opening,' 'A taste that has reached stable mastery of the authentic flavor.' Yahoo Maps rating 4.21 (23 reviews). Negative search confirmed no sakura allegations or 'bad food' complaints.
