A beloved retro ramen shop near Higashi Chaya district, tucked along the Asano River in Kanazawa. The intimate interior is plastered wall-to-wall with photos of regular customers spanning decades, giving it a deeply personal, time-capsule atmosphere with counter seating at the entrance and a few tables in the back. The kitchen serves a classic shoyu (soy sauce) ramen with a mildly sweet pork bone broth, generous cuts of slow-braised chashu pork, and thick-cut green onions — an unpretentious, soul-warming bowl at a remarkably low price. Popular with locals late at night and increasingly with foreign visitors; cash only, no reservations.

Ramen

Ramen (Regular)

Classic shoyu ramen with a mildly sweet pork bone soy sauce broth, medium-thin noodles, thick-cut green onions, and a slice of chashu pork. Portions are notably generous — the standard size rivals a large at many other shops. Simple, comforting, and deeply satisfying.

¥750

Ramen (Small)

A smaller version of the house shoyu ramen with pork bone broth, noodles, green onion, and chashu. Good option if you want a lighter bowl or are adding side items.

¥650

Chashu Ramen

The signature bowl — the standard ramen topped with extra thick, old-school braised chashu pork slices that are tender and fatty, layered generously over the noodles. Extremely popular and highly recommended by regulars. A large bowl is also available.

¥1,000

Menma (Bamboo Shoot) Ramen

Shoyu ramen topped with menma (seasoned bamboo shoots / sinachiku) as the featured topping. The crunchy, savory bamboo shoots complement the rich broth well.

¥1,000

Kimchi Ramen

The house ramen served with kimchi, adding a spicy, tangy kick to the otherwise mild soy sauce broth. A filling, volume-packed bowl popular with those wanting extra heat.

¥1,300

Bean Sprout Ankake Ramen

Ramen topped with a thick, starchy ankake (thickened sauce) with bean sprouts, creating a heartier and slightly different texture compared to the standard bowl. Generous portion.

Large Size Option

Chashu Ramen Large Size

A large (oomori) portion of the chashu ramen, with extra thick old-style braised pork. Already a big bowl at standard size — the large is for serious appetites. A favorite of regular customers.

Ramen Large Size

The standard shoyu ramen in a large (oomori) portion. The regular size already rivals a large bowl at most ramen shops — the oomori is for the very hungry.

Toppings & Sides

Menma (Bamboo Shoots)

Seasoned bamboo shoots (sinachiku/menma) available as an add-on topping to any ramen bowl.

Garlic

Fresh garlic available as a free add-on. Customers can request it when ordering — popular with the chashu ramen.

¥0

Rice

A side bowl of plain steamed white rice. Pairs well with the chashu — customers often make an impromptu chashu don (rice bowl) by placing pork pieces on top of the rice.

Drinks

Canned Beer

Canned beer available to drink with or before your ramen. Mentioned by visitors who stop in for a late-night drink and bowl.
