The story behind the bowl
A Tenmonkan institution and Tabelog Top 100 selection, Kokinta combines pork and chicken stock in a surprisingly gentle soup with medium noodles, bean sprouts, wood ear and abundant pork.
Before you go: Late-night queues are common; the smaller bowl is useful when building a two-stop Kagoshima tasting route.
