Sasuke (麺屋さすけ 支店) Kakegawa

Recommended bowl: Niboshi specialty

Sasuke serves niboshi ramen a few different ways. The recommended Seabura 'Niboshi Soba' comes with a tai (Japanese sea bream) niboshi soup also containing pork backfat, along with teuchi style wavy noodles. For those who want something richer, there is a 'Nōkō Niboshi Soba,’ which has a heavy, fishy soup and thin noodles. Also recommended is the 'Aedama,' thin noodles served without soup on a bed of tare sauce and oil, topped with fish powder, chashu and seaweed. Mix everything up and slurp, or feel free to dip the noodles tsukemen style in the remaining soup from one of the first two bowls. All noodles are homemade. Sasuke opened in this small shack-like location in 2012, however in 2019, a new flagship and concept was established on the north side of Kakegawa station. Hours are 11am-2pm. Less

This place is the original shop even though that the head shop is now in a different location. The noddles are produced there but they have a different menu.
We tried two different ramen.
The seabura ramen is lighter and has curly noodles. For this ramen the back fat is cooked down and added to the soup in order to bring out a richer flavor. They recommend to add garlic half way though the bowl. This improves the taste significantly.
The noko niboshi is more intense with straight thinner noodles and a distinct after taste from the dried fish.
The Edamame is a soupless bowl of noodles which added fish powder and oil. One can dip it into the remainder of the soup or eat it by itself.
Great shop in the very industrial area of Kagegawa. Less
