Here in Japan, I've learned time and time again that cheap doesn't mean low quality. You can get some really good, cheap eats all over and here is no exception. I enjoyed their solid bowl of chashu tonkotsu ramen, overflowing with a fair amount of their thin, but decently soft and tasty chashu. The soup, though nothing particularly special, was still quite delicious and had solid umami flavor. Adding to the value, the noodles were a very reasonable portion and the set included fried chicken karage and rice sides. The chashu ramen was 980¥, 380¥ for the chicken and rice sides. But the kicker to the noodles was the amazingly delicious, unlimited free kimchi. (I'll admit I wish it was spicier!) Top it off with extra sliced green onions / scallions and garlic, and you have yourself a memorably satisfying meal. Can't beat it.

May 2026. Visited for the first time in about 20 years! I remembered it being "super delicious" when I ate it a long time ago, but I had forgotten the taste, so it felt almost like my first visit 😅 I ordered the "Tonkoku Ramen" for 950 yen. I realized once again how high the cost of living is, seeing that ramen in Maizuru is now close to 1,000 yen. Water is self-service. They gave us green onions and kimchi for free 👍 The green onions were fresh Kujo negi, and the kimchi was also delicious. The soup is a bit thick, but it wasn't too heavy and was easy to eat. The noodles were a bit soft, so personally, I would have preferred them a bit firmer. By the way, it seems you cannot choose the noodle firmness. I topped it with green onions and kimchi and enjoyed it 🍜 I was thirsty after the meal, so the salt content might be on the high side. Thank you for the meal.

I finally got to go to the ramen shop I've been curious about for a long time. But, isn't the price of the ramen too expensive!!? Just ramen with chashu on top is 950 yen, and an extra half-serving of noodles is 200 yen? The taste was good, though...

On a friend's recommendation... I stopped by for lunch while touring. The best ramen shop in Maizuru? I ordered the standard soy sauce ramen‼️ It's definitely delicious‼️ This is a real ramen shop.

Stopped by for the first time in a while and had the miso tonkoku❗ Huh⁉️ It lacked the richness of the miso tonkoku I've had until now. When I ordered firm noodles, they came out mushier than normal⤵️⤵️ This is the first time this has happened and I was quite confused❗ Even though I've been coming here for nearly 20 years and used to come on average once a week. I was shocked.
