Michinari Kato, the owner, started his restaurant 17 years ago from a food stall in Shiga and took the world by storm with his exquisite Chinese soba noodles. This spring, he relaunched the restaurant as a private store. The restaurant offers a wide variety of ramen dishes, including standard ramen such as niboshi-soba made with niboshi broth and a variety of limited-time-only ramen dishes made with the inspiration of Mr. Kato, who is a man of ideas.
