中華ソバ ちゃるめ (Charume in Kojiya, Tokyo)
Charume, a Japanese ramen restaurant, is named after unique horn, derived from the Portuguese charamela. The restaurant, which has been under the guidance of a seasoned master, offers a variety of ramen options including chukasoba, shio, and mazesoba. The soup is a triple soup made from pork, chicken, and dried fish, with chicken bones steamed before cooking. The soy sauce is sourced from Yamato Shoyu Miso in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, and the noodles are made by Nakano Seimen in Morioka City. Charume is not a part of the current "gourmet" trends but focuses on a classic flavor that locals can enjoy.
