Ramen restaurant • 1-chōme-4-25 Shiromachi, Mihara, Hiroshima 723-0014, Japan
Located in the Jomachi area of Mihara City, the popular ramen shop 'Tonkotsu Ramen Raion' is known for the rich taste of its pork bone soup, which allows customers to savor the authentic flavor of Kyushu. With each sip, the elegant umami extracted from the pork bone spreads through the mouth.
The owner, a genuine ramen enthusiast born in Kyushu, visited Kyushu numerous times to study and recreate the flavors of famous ramen shops, leading to the creation of this tonkotsu soup. It is free from any unpleasant smell or bitterness, and instead, it encapsulates an elegant umami.
Don't miss out on the noodles at this ramen shop. The homemade noodles, handcrafted by the owner, boast a chewy texture and firmness. Unlike the ramen in Hakata, these noodles are not powdery and go down smoothly.
Open from evening 6:00 pm until the next 1:00 am, the best part is coming to eat ramen to end a drinking session. Enjoy seared chashu as a side dish for sake, or finish off the night with a hearty sip of the rich soup! The shop's interior also offers an izakaya-like atmosphere.
Besides tonkotsu, this shop offers a variety of ramen flavors. From salt, soy sauce, light taste, to black sesame-infused, there are many distinctive menu items. For those who love spicy flavors, the spicy ramen that dyes the lips with a tingle is also recommended.
Apart from ramen, there is a wide range of fried foods and side dishes, allowing you to enjoy various sake accompaniments. When you stop by Mihara, why not try this rich bowl of ramen?
