Kitakata Ramen is one of Japan's three great ramens . Its thick, curly noodles and refreshing soy sauce soup have captivated not only locals but many people all over Japan.
Sakauchi Restaurant
First, we will introduce Sakauchi Shokudo which has many fans not only in Fukushima Prefecture but all over Japan. The most distinctive feature of Sakauchi Shokudo is its standard menu item, "meat soba .
The Niku Soba is topped with so much pork that it almost overflows from the bowl, creating an overwhelming presence.
To be honest, even if you're worried about whether you can eat the whole thing, the salty soup is very light, making it a relatively easy dish to eat. The noodles are thick and curly, so the soup clings to the noodles, doubling the flavor
Its defining feature is the simple "hand-made ramen" that has been made using the same methods as back then
Genraiken's soup is a soy sauce-based broth made from pork bones, chicken bones, niboshi, kelp, and vegetables, and the noodles are homemade flat noodles. The way the soup is made has not changed at all since the Taisho era, making it a bowl that evokes the history of Kitakata ramen
Although it is less well known than Sakauchi Shokudo, I personally recommend it as a long-established restaurant that continues to be loved by locals. It is the perfect ramen for those who want to experience the history of Kitakata ramen
