The Flagship of White-Style Chinese Noodles—Light Pork Bone Yet Perfectly Clear Broth

About this spot

While many associate Tokushima ramen with a dark brown broth, the 'white-style' made from a clear pork bone broth has been cherished locally in Komatsushima for a long time. This long-established restaurant is the flagship of this style, beloved by fans throughout the prefecture and beyond. Their pork bone broth, simmered to perfection and refined to a light, mellow taste, delivers a gentle first impression with deep umami hidden beneath—pairing beautifully with thin noodles and tender roasted pork. Despite its understated appearance, each spoonful keeps you reaching for more, a bowl you'd want to eat every day. As this course features a white and brown noodle comparison, make sure to establish white as your baseline flavor first.

Tips

This popular shop draws lines during lunch hours, so arriving just after opening or avoiding peak times is strategic. Since you'll be sampling brown-style ramen later in the evening, keeping your portion modest is wise.
