    Ramen Matatabi relocated to Toyohimotocho and restructured as Sakaba Matatabi. The venue functions primarily as a morning-to-night tavern serving grilled chicken, stews, and side dishes, with its signature Onomichi shoyu noodle bowls appearing on select shifts. The broth features Seto Inland Sea dried fish and shoyu tare.
