Tabelog ratingThe chef spent 30 years in French kitchens before opening this shop in 2016, and it shows. Broths are additive-free and clear as consommé, and the signature uses whole guinea fowl (hōrōdori) from Iwate. Noodles are made in-house and laid in combed, perfectly straight lines, toppings arrive on a separate plate, and a rack of flavoured butters, including truffle and caramelised onion, lets you change the bowl as you eat. It opens at 7am in keeping with Shizuoka's breakfast-ramen habit, and was selected for the Tabelog Ramen EAST 100 in 2025.
Nearly every reviewer praises the broth, and many drink it to the last drop. The guinea-fowl shoyu ramen with moist breast-meat chashu is the clear favourite. The duck-and-chicken shoyu, the scallop shio finished with olive oil, the tomato ramen and the mazesoba also do well. A recurring tip is to tip a small bowl of butter rice into the leftover soup as a makeshift risotto. The bright, café-like room is spotless, and green tea is served on arrival.
Price is the most common complaint, with several reviewers calling ¥1,600 steep for ramen. A minority find the soup too delicate or the thin noodles not to their taste. Four reviewers describe the owner as cool toward unfamiliar faces and warm with regulars, though others found him friendly.
In 2025–2026 reviewers paid around ¥1,600–1,650 for the guinea-fowl shoyu, ¥1,600 for the duck-and-chicken shoyu, ¥1,800 for the tomato-scallop ramen, ¥1,500 for the mazesoba and ¥1,200 for a plain kake bowl. Small butter rice was ¥200 and truffle butter ¥750. The typical spend is ¥1,000–1,999 at breakfast and lunch. There is no dinner service. With a large portion and toppings, expect about ¥2,000.
It is expensive by ramen standards, but most reviewers felt the quality justified it. Portions are generous, and add-ons like the ¥200 scallop tsukudani and the ¥600 chashu plate are called bargains.
