Recommended bowl: Yamagata Jiro Style
This well known shop is run by master Abe-san, who previously worked as a salaryman before training at the head Ken-chan shop in Sakata, Yamagata prefecture. This branch was opened via 'noren wake', also under the approval of the head shop. The soup is a clear shoyu broth made from pork bones, chicken bones and niboshi (dried fish). The noodles are house-made. Customers can customize the amount of tare sauce and oil when ordering. Some people call this shop 'Tohoku style Ramen Jiro'. Open since 2005.
