Recommended bowl: Everything handmade

Not much is known about this shop, but it serves one of the highest ranked bowls in Akita prefecture. The shop is only open for lunch on weekdays (11am to 2pm), and only serves ramen during breakfast hours on weekends (5:45am to 8am). There are a few main bowls on the menu, the two most popular utilizing pork and niboshi (dried fish). The soup of the lighter, "assari" bowl contains niboshi, pork bones, pork meat, chicken and kombu, with no added oil. The heavier "kotteri" bowl is a pungent niboshi broth involving pork. All noodles are handmade in the shop; everything is all-natural and high-level. No MSG.
