The soup is made from chicken, kombu and niboshi, without the use of MSG. Noodles are custom ordered from a local purveyor. Varied menu with shoyu ramen, shrimp shio ramen, rich tsukemen, etc. Recommended is the 'nirapaku soba', served with spicy house-made chili oil, coriander, chives, and other spices. Open since 2012.
