A very interesting ramen joint, as they are serving 100% sea food or fish broth. Be careful if you not like fish or shellfish broth - there is no other option. You can choose between salmon, mackerel, sardines, prawn or squid and they are very good, but really strong on the flavour! There is some selection of the toppings also, including chiashu pork, soft boiled eggs and so on, but interestingly nothing fish or shellfish. Or maybe we just missed it - issues of not speaking fluent Japanese.
The ramen is tasty, the broth as mentioned is strong flavoured and a bit salty, but overall it is a very interesting experience. And also very warming - we visited on a rainy and cold day and it was a good choice!
Staff is very helpful and friendly, open to the customers who can't find heads or tails on their order machine at the front door, as this one is text only, no pictures. Without the staff help it is an issue if you can't read Japanese, but they are there and well: a bit random ordering is a part of the tourist experience in such a place after all ;-).

My favorite ramen restaurant. They take broth from seafood like mackerel, sardine, shrimp,salmon and squid. You can choose flavor from those options. All bowls come with 2 slices of chashu, baked onion and toasted seaweed. They only have counter seats. The soup is so thick and deep. The price for ramen is ¥950, it is surprisingly cheap for that quality. I want to try their truffle boiled egg next time.

I have just visited this lovely Ramen place on my second week of my holiday, and I wish I had found them sooner. At 6pm on a Monday, I would’ve expected it to be extremely busy, but I was the only one there! I don’t know if it was a strange circumstance, but I feel as though it should’ve been overflowing with how good the food was.

I can say with certainty that this is the best food I’ve had so far, both inside and outside Japan. I had the Salmon set, with a Truffle Egg and I would consider it mind-blowing. It was so tasteful, smoky, rich and filling, words don’t really do it justice. I didn’t end up having any of my rice because I was filled to the brim!

I wanted to say something before leaving but my lacking of confidence in my Japanese prevented me from doing so, so hopefully this review someone makes up for it in the time before I return! I implore anyone to visit and try this place out! Easiest 10/10 to give in my life.
