    Founded by Minoru Yoshimura in 1974, Yoshimuraya is the sacred origin of Yokohama Iekei ramen. Operating from its relocated flagship building eight minutes from Yokohama Station West Exit, the kitchen boils one ton of pork and chicken bones daily into a heavy broth, seasoned with custom shoyu tare and golden chicken oil. Diners customize noodle firmness, oil richness, and salt intensity, served with short flat Sakai Seimen noodles, three sheets of crisp nori, fresh boiled spinach, and applewood-smoked chashu.
