Ramen restaurant • 1-chōme-8-41 Takamatsu, Oita, 870-0917, Japan
"Ramen You Ichibantei" nestled in a residential area of Oita City, Oita Prefecture, is a hidden gem ramen shop adored by the locals. The handmade flavors managed solely by the owner have created numerous regular customers.
The true appeal of this shop lies in its tonkotsu ramen soup: a light yet rich flavor that offers depth of umami without getting dull. The perfect harmony with ultra-thin noodles is also a highlight.
Moreover, the tender and juicy chashu, meticulously prepared to eliminate any unwanted odor, and the self-service pickled mustard greens have both received favorable reviews.
Despite its small space, the shop provides both counter and table seating. The sight of the owner tirelessly working alone exudes the passion and sincerity of a culinary artisan.
Although the owner may give off a mischievous vibe at first glance, the friendly and attentive service has won over many customers. Perhaps, this amiable nature is also one of the shop's charms.
Because of its location within a residential area, first-time visitors may struggle to find the shop. Furthermore, the limited parking spaces require caution for those arriving by car.
However, if the waiting time and effort to get there are viewed as a "premium" for savoring truly delicious ramen, it could be an enjoyable experience. The joy of finally finding it will be especially rewarding.
Why not visit this local popular shop and experience the homemade flavors and warmth of the local community? A hidden gem space where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city awaits you.
