Tokushima Ramen

A rich pork soy broth with medium noodles and a raw egg on top — Tokushima's unique ramen. Often served alongside rice.

Naruto Tai (Sea Bream)

Bred in the fierce Naruto Strait whirlpools, these firm-fleshed sea bream have intense flavour.

Awa-odori Chicken

Tokushima's native jidori chicken breed — slightly firm with clean, concentrated flavour.

Sudachi Cuisine

Tokushima grows 98% of Japan's sudachi citrus. This tart little citrus is squeezed over sashimi, noodles, drinks and dressings.

Dekemawashi

A simple rustic Tokushima countryside snack — tofu, konnyaku and potato skewered and grilled with savoury miso sauce.

Access

Tokushima City's central area has many ramen restaurants. Fresh Naruto sea bream is served at Naruto City restaurants.
