The ramen called Sano Ramen available at this restaurant is a typical form of ramen from Tochigi Prefecture. The clear soy sauce broth is free of any cloying or bitter taste and extracts as much seafood and animal flavor as possible. The toppings are simple: menma (pickled bamboo shoots), chashu (pork), nareta (fish roe), and wakame (seaweed). However, these toppings have a presence that sets them apart from basic ramen. On holidays, a long line is inevitable, so we recommend that you plan your visit accordingly.
