Simmering in an Earthenware Pot: Signature Nabeyaki Ramen with Parent Chicken Dashi Broth
About this spot
An essential stop when discussing Susaki's soul food—nabeyaki ramen—this popular restaurant is beloved for its signature dish. A soy-based broth made from parent chicken dashi is simmered in an earthenware pot, served over thin straight noodles topped with parent chicken meat, green onion, chikuwa, and a raw egg in the Susaki style. Thanks to the earthenware pot, every bite stays piping hot until the very end, and the pickled radish served on the side provides a pleasant palate cleanser. The local favorite way to finish is by adding rice to create a risotto-like dish. This renowned restaurant often has lines forming before it opens, and through the rising steam you can glimpse the fishing village's food culture in every slurp.
Tips
Arriving right after opening makes it easier to avoid long waits. Service may end once ingredients run out, so early arrival is reassuring. Check business hours and days off in advance. The streets around the shop are narrow in places, so follow the parking guidance.
Best time to visit
Allow about 1 hour. Arriving right after opening is the best way to avoid queues.
