Ramen restaurant • 77-3 Tanokuchi, Ozu, Ehime 795-0063, Japan
Fukuchan Ramen stands in a residential area just outside the center of Ozu City. This long-standing ramen shop, beloved for many years, exudes a charming presence. The wooden exterior of the building emanates an old-fashioned charm as if time has stood still. Stepping inside, one is enveloped in a Showa-era retro atmosphere with counter seats and raised tatami-mat seating.
The menu lineup is simple, ranging from the basic shoyu ramen to variations such as nabeyaki ramen and tsukimi ramen. Regardless of the choice, the common factor is the rich and flavorful soup.
Among them, the most popular nabeyaki ramen is prepared in front of the counter using a pot. When the lid is lifted, piping hot ramen appears, featuring thin straight noodles. One may be momentarily surprised by the heat of the soup, but as they gradually consume the noodles and ingredients, the rich taste gradually spreads. Finally, adding rice and mixing it with the half-cooked egg transforms it into a luxurious Oja-style dish.
Fukuchan Ramen, with its old-fashioned aura and the simple yet richly condensed flavor, is truly a beloved ramen shop in Ozu. Boasting a history of over half a century since its founding, it has been cherished by the local people for a long time. Without changing its taste with the changing times, it can truly be said to be a representative specialty ramen shop of Ozu.
