Recommended bowl: Longest line in Kitakata

The most famous ramen shop in Kitakata, with long lines every day. Open since 1958, the interior of the shop is a large room that seats 56 customers. This shop is the originator of one of the most well known ramen chains in Japan— ‘Kitakata Ramen Bannai,’ which has locations across Japan and in the U.S. Because of the chain’s fame, this flagship has become a landmark. Kitakata-style shio ramen is on the menu, but many customers go for the chashumen, which comes completely layered in pork.
