Recommended bowl: Family style spot

Open for over two decades, this family-style restaurant has a casual and welcoming feel. Ramen is the main draw but there is a varied side menu, as well as a plethora of shochu, sake, and alcoholic drinks available. This is the kind of place where you can kick back and relax over a few beverages. The ramen here is a light, chicken, pork, and vegetable-based soup. Shio, shoyu, miso tare all available, as well as homemade wontons stuffed with a choice of meat or shrimp. Topped with cilantro and daikon radish sprouts. Kurobuta bite-sized yaki gyoza on the side.
