    This popular ramen shop located right near JR Miyauchi Station has several branches in Nagaoka City, Niigata City and Tokyo.

The chewy noodles that go down smooth and the chasiu (roasted pork) are both well received. All seating is counter seating.

    This Nagaoka City-born ramen shop is near Hakusan Park in central Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. It is a popular shop with multiple branches in Nagaoka City, Niigata City, and Tokyo. The unique taste comes from a mild soy sauce soup base tinged with ginger. What makes it popular is the rich, deep umami flavor expertly drawn from the pork bone and vegetables. It goes great with slippery, slick noodles. The chasiu (roasted pork)—cut fresh upon ordering—offers a great taste and texture.
