Recommended bowl: Sano style

Hasebe has the feel of an old family-run shop, and is usually packed out with salarymen during lunch hours. Sano style ramen with a light shoyu base, katsuo soup, extra thick wontons (almost like large noodles) and kurobuta chashu from Kagoshima prefecture. The slightly wavy 'chijiremen' style noodles are supplied by Takegoya, an old school noodle company based in Sano, Tochigi prefecture. During lunch you can get oomori size (extra noodles) or a side of white rice for free. Open since 2004.
