Shio ramen with chicken chashu

The story behind the bowl

The original Kaichi established the all-chicken concept that made the name a Sendai benchmark: clear golden soup, firm noodles and substantial chicken thigh.

Before you go: The original has limited volume; arrive early and treat the Kokubuncho branch as the practical alternative.
