Onomichi ramen

The story behind the bowl

Akatsuki brings the neighboring Onomichi tradition into central Hiroshima: clear dark soy broth, flat noodles and floating pork back-fat that adds richness without turning the soup opaque.

Before you go: This is the list’s clearest Onomichi-style comparison; eat it beside a classic Hiroshima bowl on another day.
