Chuka Soba Kan, located in Makino-cho, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, is a popular ramen restaurant where you can enjoy the atmosphere and nostalgic flavors of the Showa era. Situated close to the Metasequoia-lined avenue, it is loved by both locals and tourists.
The signature dish of 'Chuka Soba Kan' is, of course, the Chuka Soba. The soup, carefully made from chicken bones, is characterized by its slightly mild soy sauce flavor. The finely cut curly noodles are easy to eat, and they are topped with nostalgic toppings such as naruto, char siu, and green onions.
The char siu, praised by many customers, is particularly exceptional. Its tender texture and deep flavor are often described as the 'textbook of char siu'.
In addition to the Chuka Soba on its own, the 'Kan Set' is also recommended. This is a hearty set menu that comes with Chuka Soba, rice, fried chicken, and one side dish. The fried chicken, flavored with garlic and thigh meat, pairs excellently with the Chuka Soba.
Entering the store feels like slipping back in time to the Showa era. The retro ambiance and enka played as background music make the dining experience even more memorable.
The charm of 'Chuka Soba Kan' isn't just in the food. The warm hospitality of the owner and staff is highly appreciated by many visitors. After meals, teas and chocolates are kindly offered.
'Chuka Soba Kan' is more than just a ramen shop. It offers a special dining experience that combines nostalgic flavors, atmosphere, and warm hospitality. If you visit Shiga Prefecture, be sure to stop by.
