Ramen restaurant • Japan, 〒236-0031 Kanagawa, Yokohama, Kanazawa Ward, Mutsuura, 4-chōme−17−３２ ココモビル
Nestled in a back alley in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, stands the charming, old-fashioned Ramen Taisho Rokura shop. This shop has been in operation as a renowned ramen shop even before the popularity of the family-style ramen, boasting enduring popularity over the years.
As you step into the shop, the fragrant aroma of tonkotsu soup gently caresses your nose. This soup is carefully boiled from pork bones and chicken carcasses, creating a rich and flavorful broth. What sets it apart is the subtle pork bone flavor, similar to family-style ramen shops, with just the right amount of soy sauce flavor.
The noodles are made using the fine noodles from the local long-established manufacturer, 'Ohashi Seimen.' They have a firm and chewy texture, excellent soup absorption, and the shop owner pays meticulous attention even to the firmness of the noodles served. The shop owner emphasizes the importance of noodles by calling them the 'soul of ramen.'
The interior retains a strong presence of the Showa era, with retro chairs and faded ceiling decorations evoking a sense of nostalgia. This old-fashioned atmosphere is also one of the shop's charms.
When placing your order, the shop owner may ask, 'How did you like the soup?' This is not a rude expression; rather, it is a humorous gesture that shows concern for the customers. You should definitely experience this refined tact unique to Taisho.
Ramen Taisho Rokura shop is a place loved by local customers for its delicious ramen and traditional ambiance. It might be your turn to drop by next time.
