    Best for

    Umetsu Shokudo serves traditional home-style ramen in Takahata, a short distance from Orihata Station along the Flower Nagai Line. The soup is light, nostalgic, and fragrant, prepared from gently simmered pork bone, chicken frames, and garden vegetables. Curly yellow noodles provide a comforting slurp beneath thinly sliced rolled pork chashu, pink narutomaki fish cake, and crisp menma.
