Restaurant Overview
Features and Specialties
- An “Indomitable Landmark” Representing Onomichi Ramen : Much like the original Onomichi location, this shop enjoys immense support from local fans. It delivers the authentic, traditional taste of Onomichi right in the heart of Fukuyama.
- Traditional Shoyu Broth with a Clean Finish : Despite its deep soy-colored appearance, the broth is sophisticated and airy, with delicate notes of seafood. It has a surprisingly clean finish that makes you want to drink it all.
- Aged Fine Noodles that Carry the Soup : Uses fine noodles specifically designed for their affinity with the broth. They absorb just the right amount of the piping hot soup, passing smoothly down the throat along with the umami of the back-fat.
