Chuka soba

The story behind the bowl

A foundational old-school counter where flat noodles, hot soy soup, small-fish dashi and generous back fat express Onomichi ramen without polish.

Before you go: Hours are short and the queue etiquette is traditional; arrive early, order promptly and eat while piping hot.
