Fake reviews removed

3 minutes walk from Higashi-Iwatsuki Station. The shop relocated in May 2022 — it's famous for bringing Nagaoka's regional ginger soy ramen from Niigata to Saitama. Continuously selected for Tabelog Ramen EAST Top 100 from 2019 to 2022 and again in 2025. Overwhelming Tabelog score of 3.86 with 963 reviews. Called 'one of Japan's finest ginger soy ramen,' with regulars queuing from early morning under a reservation ledger system. Soy ramen 1,050 yen.

963 Tabelog reviews rave: 'One of Japan's finest ginger soy ramen,' 'The thick-cut chashu is incredible,' 'The seasoned egg is insane.' Many note 'you need to be prepared to wait a long time' — yet the stream of repeat visitors proves its genuine status. Selected for the Top 100 again in 2025. Ranked 2nd in Tabelog Saitama x Ramen.
