Restaurant Overview
Features and Specialties
- The Pinnacle of Heavy and Wild “Se-abura (Back-fat) Shoyu” : A popular shop in Niigata’s Chuo Ward that relentlessly draws fans of rich, intense ramen. It is characterized by a punchy bowl featuring a seafood-shoyu aroma topped with a thick layer of back-fat.
- Hearty and Chewy “Extra-thick Noodles” : Employs homemade extra-thick noodles that hold their own against the heavy broth. Their strong chew and mochi-like texture capture the umami of the soup perfectly.
- Addictive Garlic Aroma and Fatty Sweetness : The aroma of roasted soy sauce, the sweetness of the back-fat, and the generous garlic topping make for an explosive appetite boost. This is the zenith of “Gattsuri” (heavy-duty) style ramen.
