A small, unassuming ramen counter tucked into a residential backstreet near Senda, with a compact 12-seat interior split between an L-shaped counter and a few tables. The shop traces its roots to 1998, when it opened as a second-generation branch of the famed "Ganko-kei" ramen lineage (Ichijoryu Ganko) before becoming independent as Ramen-ya Sakari in 2007. The menu centers on shoyu ramen finished with pork back fat, letting diners choose the richness level from light to rich, alongside shio and miso variations, tsukemen, and rice dishes, all built on melt-in-the-mouth pork belly chashu and a soft-boiled seasoned egg. The whole restaurant is non-smoking, including during lunch hours, and payment is by cash or QR code only.
