塩ちゃーしゅーわんたん麺 / Shio Chashu Wontonmen / Ramen Hachinoashiha - Yokkaichi, Mie
Clear soup is made using mostly chicken carcasses and niboshi. No MSG. Master Hori-san arrives at the shop each day from 3:00am to start making the noodles handmade from scratch. Hori-san is originally from Kanagawa but his wife is from Mie, when he first moved there he was 30 years old and had no job or money. He is self taught, never trained at another shop and never really ate at many ramen shops. The meaning of the name 'Hachinoashiha' is kept a secret, but for master Hori-san it has some kind of special, magical meaning. Considered by many to be the best ramen in Mie Prefecture. Open since 2007.
