Kitakata: A Day of Sake Storehouse Walks and Ramen Hopping
A full day of ramen hopping at the birthplace of Kitakata Ramen, one of Japan's three great ramen styles. Start your morning with early ramen at the always-crowded Sakauchi Shokudo, then taste-compare your second bowl at long-established Makoto Shokudo. Along the way, explore the brick storehousewarehouse of Wakaki Shoten, a registered tangible cultural property, and enjoy a sake brewery tour at Yamata-kawa Sake Brewery's Hokuhō Folk Museum—both hallmarks of a storehouse town stroll. Finish with quiet time at Shingū Kumano Shrine, home to the national treasure 'Nagatoko'. Perfect for friend groups who want it all: ramen, storehouses, and an unforgettable food walk.
