Sankome's food review

Ramen (July 2026)

Ramen (1,100 yen).

I ordered 300g of noodles, with less garlic and standard amounts of oil and vegetables as toppings.

It comes with two thick slices of char siu (roast pork). It's tender and easily falls apart with chopsticks.

The noodles are extra thick and curly, making for a very satisfying portion. They pair perfectly with the sharp, rich broth.

The balance with the generous amount of bean sprouts is also exquisite.

This ramen is highly addictive; once you try it, you'll want to eat it again.
