For a pronounced ginger flavour, ginger ramen is one option. Diners have described its strong ginger aroma as a particular pleasure for ginger fans. Ginger curry ramen is another choice that has made an impression on people who have tried it. Some reports say it has appeared as a seasonal special, so check at the restaurant if you have your heart set on it.

For something brighter, there is tomato ramen with vinegar and pepper. One diner likened it to eating tomato salad, making it an appealing alternative to a more familiar ramen bowl. Reports on the tsukemen describe medium-thick, wavy noodles served with menma, nori and lemon. The dipping sauce contained spring onion and diced chashu, and some diners adjusted the flavour as they ate with the spices and lemon provided at the table. It’s a useful approach if you enjoy changing things up as you go.

Gyoza are another possible accompaniment. Diners have praised them, and the menu has listed house-made gyoza in a serving of 6. There are also reports of rice being offered at lunchtime; check whether it is available if you’d like rice with your noodles. The restaurant offers dine-in service and is described as suitable for solo meals. It accepts cash only and does not take reservations, so bear that in mind when planning a visit.
