The story behind the bowl
Operating from Eba since the late 1950s, family-run Youki is living Hiroshima ramen history. Its thin noodles sit in a mellow cloudy pork-and-soy broth with bean sprouts, scallions and chashu—unchanged in spirit for generations.
Before you go: Order the salted rice ball: alternating it with the soup is part of the old-school experience.
