Torisoba Shimojibashi
A ramen shop specializing in chicken broth, open since 2021, a 5-minute drive from Kumano Hongu Taisha. The golden soup made from Rausu kombu and whole chicken is delicate and deep, with astonishing quality for ¥750. Lines form immediately after opening on weekends. Uses locally sourced vegetables and rice.
Tabelog 3.52, 177 reviews. Ranked #1 ramen in Wakayama for multiple consecutive months. Praised as 'top-quality for a remote location,' 'already full at 11:15 on Saturdays,' 'this soup quality for this price is unfair.' No PR or fake review concerns.
