Kasane shoyu ramen with thick-cut pork

The story behind the bowl

Ittoya layers seafood over a rich animal base and crowns the bowl with imposing seared pork, creating one of Niigata City's most recognizable modern bowls.

Before you go: The pork is substantial; skip extra toppings on a first visit and expect a queue at lunch.
