Chuka soba
The story behind the bowl
Often described as an origin point of Takayama ramen, Masago cooks soy seasoning together with the stock rather than adding tare separately, creating an integrated, gently dark soup around fine curls.
Before you go: Order the standard bowl and visit early; the compact menu leaves nowhere for weak choices to hide.
