The shop has a calm atmosphere, and it differs greatly from general ramen shop. The ramen here is characterized by a soup consisting of seafood soup and pork bone soy sauce.

Please try eating the recommendation balance "soy sauce 135(Japanese:Shouyu-agi ichi-san-go)” of the chef here by all means.

Rice is free here. If you put it in the remaining soup it is super delicious so please try it！ Okami-san gives a cold towel after meal, so you can go home with a refreshing feeling. As lunch is always queued, it is good to shift the time a little.

Have a nice trip!(^^)
