Wakayama Ramen (Ide Shoten)
Take a sip of the thick, dark brown soup. After the collision of deep flavors from pork bone and soy sauce, there is a clean finish—this is the bowl known as "Chuka Soba" in Wakayama. It is said that Ide Shoten began as a food stall in 1953. Eventually, the second generation refined the process by simmering the soup for longer periods, developing a mellow and deeply flavorful taste. It gained nationwide fame after being crowned number one on the TV program "TV Champion" in 1998. That same year, when they opened a shop at the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum, the endless lines became a part of local legend. Enjoying it the Wakayama way means snacking on the quick-serve sushi (haya-zushi) provided on the table while you wait.
