Ramen at Motoshakomae Marumiya (元車庫前○宮)

Recommended bowl: Since 1949

Open since 1949, the name of this shop literally means 'Marumiya in front of the former garage', possibly referencing an old parking area or municipal facility long gone. The shop is the arguably the premier ramen destination in Wakayama city's seaside Kemi district. Classic Wakayama-style ramen is served — a perfect balance of tonkotsu soup and local shoyu tare, with house-made noodles using 100% domestic Japanese flour. Tasty ebi tempura on the side.
