Savor Tottori's Soul Food: Simple Ramen in Clear Japanese Broth

About this spot

A historic casual eatery that has long maintained its noren (doorway curtain) in central Tottori City. The signature simple ramen features delicate Japanese-style broth—as clear as udon broth—paired with Chinese noodles, with sparse toppings of just tempura bits and green onion. Despite using no meat, the broth's umami runs deep, and though light, it's so addictive you'll want to drink every last drop—truly Tottori citizens' soul food. With abundant menu options including rice bowls and set meals, you can savor the charm of this old-fashioned eatery's very atmosphere. Since this popular shop often draws lines, visiting for an early lunch is the strategy of this course.

Tips

During lunch rush, the place fills with locals and tourists alike, so an early lunch right after opening is the safest bet. Bring cash for payment. It's within walking distance from Tottori Station, so you can stroll there on foot to work up your appetite.
