The dishes at this ramen shop are surprising. The noodles and dumpling skins are all handmade by the owner. The miso ramen broth is rich yet not greasy, paired with stir-fried vegetables and chashu, which is quite moving. The takoyaki and karaage are perfectly seasoned and won't disappoint.
The atmosphere in the store is warm, as if dining at home. The owner occasionally comes over to chat, giving a sense of warmth and friendliness. Even though the owner is the only one serving on regular days, the timing of the dishes being served is just right, making it worth the wait.
The service is thoughtful and quick. The owner will actively introduce the dishes, allowing customers to feel her dedication. Even when she is the only one in the shop, she can still efficiently provide freshly made meals.

I discovered an amazing ramen shop through YouTube videos! I rarely eat noodles because they often make me feel bloated, let alone ramen, but I was touched by the story of the owner in the video and decided to give it a try. To my surprise, not only did it not cause bloating, but it also felt like I was eating a home-cooked meal, with each dish made with great care, which moved us deeply. 🥹
If you have a gluten allergy or are prone to bloating and discomfort, I highly recommend coming here. 👍 The owner said her noodles don’t cause bloating because they are salted.
I originally came just for ramen, but unexpectedly ended up eating a lot. As soon as we walked in, the owner immediately asked if we wanted gyoza. I remembered that customers in the video highly recommended them, so we ordered. They were unbelievably delicious! 😋 The gyoza skin and ramen are made by the owner in the noodle room; the gyoza skin is very thin and crispy, and when you bite into it, the peppery flavor of the filling is very prominent. It tastes great even without dipping sauce, leaving us wanting more.
I hesitated a bit while ordering ramen, but the owner kindly introduced her options. We decided to go for the miso ramen with plenty of vegetables and added extra noodles and chashu to make it a larger bowl. We thought we could share one bowl, but when it arrived, it was huge! It was basically the size of a soup bowl. I was initially worried we wouldn't finish it, but the broth was rich yet not overly salty or greasy. The noodles had an indescribable aroma, and surprisingly, no matter how much I ate, my stomach felt fine. The stir-fried vegetables had a wonderful wok flavor, making it the perfect match for the ramen. 👍 The chashu was also great; it was cut thinly, looked fatty, but was enjoyable to eat and not greasy at all. 🥰 Before we knew it, we had finished the entire bowl, which surprised us both.
Because the gyoza and ramen were so delicious, when I saw takoyaki and fried chicken on the menu, I wanted to order more. It was my first time having noodles that didn’t make me feel bloated or uncomfortable, so of course, I continued to order.
The owner occasionally came over to chat, but since it was a weekday and she was the only one in the shop, we had to wait for our food, which is made fresh to order. However, it was worth it; the owner was quite fast. I initially thought we would have to wait a long time, but the timing for the dishes was perfect and didn’t leave us feeling impatient. It felt warm and cozy, like dining at home. We chatted with the owner a lot; what we came for wasn't just the food but the warmth of the people!
Later, the takoyaki arrived, and with the first bite, I wanted to keep eating. It didn’t feel like just batter; the seasoning was just right, paired with bonito flakes and mayonnaise. Enjoying some apple soda was truly a delight. 😎 Then came the fried chicken, and when it arrived, I thought it was a mistake because besides the chicken, there were also lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which I loved since I’m health-conscious. The owner even thoughtfully added some extra mayonnaise for us to try different flavors. The chicken was juicy and not dry or tough. I was glad we decided to order these two dishes in the end.
If you’re looking to try a different kind of ramen, I really recommend this place. The owner cooks with passion, which is evident. But if you just want to eat famous ramen, then skip this place; the owner has a strong personality and might think you won’t be happy.
