Menya Inoichi Hanare

This is an annex of "Menya Inoichi," a restaurant regularly featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand selection and Ramen Hyakumeiten (Top 100 Ramen Shops). Their signature "Oikatsuo Soba" features a 100% seafood broth, made by blending several types of carefully selected, highest-grade *fushi* (dried fish flakes) to extract umami at low temperatures, without using any animal products whatsoever. The white soy sauce offers sweetness and the delicate flavor of dashi, while the black soy sauce is characterized by its rich aroma and depth. Both are delicately fragrant with freshly shaved, extremely thin bonito flakes. The homemade thin noodles, made from Hokkaido wheat and Kyoto whole wheat flour, boast a smooth texture. You can enjoy *tororo konbu* (shredded kelp), yuzu peel, and sansho pepper to alter the taste. On holidays and during busy periods, a numbered ticket system is used, while on weekdays, direct queuing may be possible. Staff will take your order while you wait in line, and warm tea service is also provided. Both menus and staff interactions are available in English. Please note that only cashless payments are accepted (no cash).
