鶏白湯 塩 / Tori Paitan Shio / La-men Nikkou - Hikone, Shiga
Creamy soup is made using chicken carcasses from Shiga, simmered for long hours. Noodles are by Teigaku, based in Kyoto. Run by master Kouji Nishikawa-san, who goes by the nickname "Nikkou." For Nishikawa-san, ramen is 'fast food' (cheap and quick), yet also 'slow food' (influenced by premium ingredients and food culture). He says ramen should also be a kind of 'junk food,' delivering high energy and satisfying every time. These thoughts reflect both the ramen master and customer, and are deep feelings that constantly develop over time for Nishikawa-san and the concept of his shop. He will never quit or run away from ramen, as the staff t-shirts imply. Originally opened in 2005, moved to its current location in 2014. 2nd branch opened in the Netherlands in 2018. Less

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. Less
