The story behind the bowl
A long-established city counter with a more eccentric, deeply seasoned personality than polished modern ramen. The appeal is atmosphere, continuity and a bowl shaped by local habit.
Before you go: Treat this as a heritage stop and confirm current opening hours before walking over.
