Owari Ramen Daiichi Asahi Nishiki

Located in Nagoya's Nishiki entertainment district, this is a branch of 'Daiichi Asahi,' which has its main store in Owari Ichinomiya, expanding into the Nagoya Sakae area. While it has no direct affiliation with Kyoto's long-established 'Daiichi Asahi,' it is known as an Owari ramen shop that uses the same name, stemming from a past family relationship. The signature Shoyu Ramen boasts a classic appearance: a soy sauce soup with golden oil floating on the surface, generously topped with green onions, back fat, firm thin noodles, tender chashu pork, menma, naruto, and nori. The soup features a rich umami soy sauce flavor that gradually spreads, built around an animal-based richness. It's noted for having a stronger soy sauce presence than Kyoto's Daiichi Asahi and is described as a richer bowl, even compared to Tokushima Ramen. The other signature, 'Ginger Ramen,' is a unique menu item that prominently features ginger, offering a gentle ginger sensation that warms the body from within. They also offer potent derivative menu items such as the 'Spicy Miso Garlic' topping and 'Spicy Garlic Ramen.' Side dishes include a lineup suitable for a late-night meal, such as 'Half Fried Rice' and the 'Fried Chicken Rice Set.' With its location operating until 3 AM, it effectively meets the late-night dining needs of customers returning from drinks in Sakae and Nishiki. The interior exudes a unique atmosphere, characterized by a local feel typical of late-night establishments and enlivened by photos of idol groups.
