What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1966, this is the essential shop that put Tokushima ramen on the national map. In 1999, it was invited to the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum where it topped sales for 4 consecutive months. The signature soup combines pork bone broth and soy sauce tare, topped with pork belly and a raw egg - the definitive example of brown-style Tokushima ramen. Ticket machine ordering, counter seating only (40 seats). Selected for Tabelog Ramen WEST Top 100 in 2025.

Local voices consistently say 'This is the first place I visit when coming to Tokushima' and 'The flavor I grew up with.' With 2,422 reviews on Tabelog and ranked #1 in Tokushima on TripAdvisor, this is an unshakeable institution beloved for over half a century.
