    Operating since 1963 twelve minutes from Tamana Station, Toen ranks as one of the original Big Three pillars of Tamana ramen culture. Staff ladle rich, milky pork bone soup over medium-thin noodles, offering a spoonful of roasted fried garlic chips at the counter upon delivery. The smoky garlic crisps melt into the velvety broth to create unmistakable punch.
