Despite its popularity, Benten remains a significant part of the ramen scene and is a must-visit for many fans.

The soup is made from pork and gyokai, with choice of the standard and recommended shoyu tare or shio, also popular. Salty, slightly sweet and slightly tangy, with options for spicy too.

Still run by the original master Tanaka-san. Ramen and tsukemen are both available, both equally popular. Less
