ラーメン ニッコウ (lamen Nikkou in Shiga Prefecture)
Toripaitan (鶏白湯), Clear shoyu (日香麺), and Kokuni Black (湖国ブラック) are the main choices. What makes a critique of Nikkou so hard is that they have a constant limited menu as well. Check their Instagram for more info on that. Being my first time I went with the tsukemen.

Lamen Nikkou in Shiga is the prefecture’s top shop. Constant limited bowls and a solid craft beer menu make this one particularly appealing. Too bad it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere.
鶏白湯 塩 / Tori Paitan Shio / La-men Nikkou - Hikone, Shiga
Creamy soup is made using chicken carcasses from Shiga, simmered for long hours. Noodles are by Teigaku, based in Kyoto. Run by master Kouji Nishikawa-san, who goes by the nickname "Nikkou." For Nishikawa-san, ramen is 'fast food' (cheap and quick), yet also 'slow food' (influenced by premium ingredients and food culture). He says ramen should also be a kind of 'junk food,' delivering high energy and satisfying every time. These thoughts... More

Creamy soup is made using chicken carcasses from Shiga, simmered for long hours. Noodles are by Teigaku, based in Kyoto. Run by master Kouji Nishikawa-san, who goes by the nickname "Nikkou." For Nishikawa-san, ramen is 'fast food' (cheap and quick), yet also 'slow food' (influenced by premium ingredients and food culture). He says ramen should also be a kind of 'junk food,' delivering high energy and satisfying every time. These thoughts reflect both the ramen master and customer, and are deep feelings that constantly develop over time for Nishikawa-san and the concept of his shop. He will never quit or run away from ramen, as the staff t-shirts imply. Originally opened in 2005, moved to its current location in 2014. 2nd branch opened in the Netherlands in 2018. Less
