The story behind the bowl
Nagahamaya is tied to the market-worker roots of Nagahama ramen: a quick, inexpensive bowl with very thin noodles designed to cook fast and accept a second portion without slowing the diner.
Before you go: Order simply, eat immediately and learn the noodle-firmness vocabulary before joining the fast-moving counter.
