Recommended bowl: Chicken & water

Come to Maikagura for simple bowls of clear, shoyu ramen (w/ or w/o yuzu) and limited bowls of creamy chicken paitan. Master Ichijou-san trained at and eventually became the manager of the famed shop Nakamuraya, where he worked for seven years. The soup here is made from equal parts chicken and water, and nothing else. The chickens are sourced from Iwate prefecture, and the water used is a special variety called RO water which is almost 100% free of impurities. The shoyu tare contains three varieties of shoyu. Noodles supplied by Mikawaya Seimen. No MSG. Open since February 2018. Less
