    Ramen Umeya opens at 7:00 AM in northern Kitakata to cater to the city morning ramen tradition. The master, who trained at legendary Bannai Shokudo, simmers pork bones into a clear golden broth. Hand-massaged high-hydration curly noodles arrive covered by melt-in-the-mouth pork belly chashu slices.
