Ube Ramen

This local ramen is loved in Ube, an industrial city facing the Seto Inland Sea. Built on a pork bone broth simmered long and slow, it is rich yet moreish, sustaining the appetites of a hardworking town.

Highlights

A firm noodle winds through the milky, concentrated broth. Each shop has its own character in richness and aroma, so comparing bowls is part of the fun, and the char siu and scallion pair beautifully.

Enjoying the Seasons

A warming bowl is natural in winter, yet slurping one while breaking a sweat in summer is a treat too. Many shops stay open late, handy for capping off a trip.

Access and Basic Information

Ramen shops are scattered across the city, centered around JR Ube-Shinkawa Station.

A Quick Tip

At shops offering noodle refills, add a portion to the leftover broth to savor it to the very last.
