    Operating since 1988 in central Kitakata, Fukushima Ya is a cornerstone of the town's famous asa-ra (morning ramen) culture. Opening early in the morning, the shop serves a pale and soothing shoyu broth prepared from clean pork stock, dried sardines, and mountain well water. The thick, wavy hand-kneaded noodles offer a satisfying morning bite, garnished with savory sliced pork chashu and narutomaki.
