Store Overview

Features & Commitment

A long-established ramen shop with a 25-year history, specializing in “seabura chatcha” (pork back fat) style ramen.
The rich pork bone broth, simmered for three days, combined with a generous amount of back fat and special tender chashu pork, creates an exquisite combination.
Although it looks rich, the carefully prepared back fat has a sweetness to it, making it surprisingly light.
One of the charms is that you can customize the flavor to your liking with the sesame oil and special sauce available at the table.
