Tsunocho has approximately 50 restaurants and confectionery shops. In this fourth installment of our gourmet series, we introduce a popular ramen shop that can be considered the face of Tsunocho! ~Fall in love with the meticulously crafted flavors~ Homemade noodles Enramen Located in the Mikazukibaru District of Tsunocho, very close to the previously introduced "Hinoya Udon," this ramen shop offers authentic soy sauce ramen in a region where pork bone broth culture is strong. Now, people from both within and outside the town, as well as from other prefectures, come specifically to taste it. They offer various toppings such as miso, salt, and Tsunocho's unique tomato ramen, but the signature and most popular ramen is the "Shina Soba Soy Sauce." What is Shina Soba? I didn't know at first either. A ramen shop, yet soba? In fact, Shina Soba is an old term for ramen. In the Kanto region, it's used to refer to light soy sauce ramen. When the owner was in the Kanto area, he was so surprised by the deliciousness of Shina Soba that, when creating the product, he intentionally named it Shina Soba instead of just soy sauce ramen. I've also eaten their Shina Soba, and it's "Tegede, oishii!" (extremely delicious!) It's so delicious that this one phrase sums it up! The owner is particular about the "aftertaste" and starts preparing as early as 4 or 5 in the morning! Moreover, they don't use any chemical seasonings and are particular about the noodles, soup, ingredients, and even the chopsticks, pursuing the original deliciousness of the ingredients. If you visit Tsunocho, it's definitely worth visiting Enramen! Before you know it, you might become captivated by their ramen! Homemade noodles Enramen Business hours: 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM *Due to limited hours, there may be a wait.* Closed: Every Sunday and public holidays (temporary closures may occur) Parking: 20 cars Phone: 0983-25-2788 Instagram: @enramen.tsuno_yome
