Famous Takayama Ramen Shop with Curly Noodles

The local ramen called 'chuka soba' in Hida Takayama is a simple bowl that combines ultra-thin curly noodles with Japanese-style soy sauce soup made from chicken bones and bonito flakes. Through a unique cooking method where the soup and noodles are simmered together, the noodles absorb the rich umami of the broth. The toppings are refreshingly simple: chashu, green onions, and menma. Whether it's a bowl after visiting the morning market or during a stroll around town, this is a taste of Hida that has seamlessly blended into the daily lives of locals.
