    Best for

    Atsugi's original ramen house, founded around 1970 and credited by many as a forerunner of Kanagawa's light 'tanrei' style. Straight house-made thin noodles sit in a clear, fish-accented shoyu soup, and the soft-yolk ajitama soba is the best seller.

    Ajitama Soba (味玉そば)

    Founding year varies by source: a blog says 昭和45年 (1970), the IG bio says '70 years', X says 'half a century'; description says 'around 1970'. Formerly 麺や食堂ブラジル. Hyakumeiten 2025 only via a Tabelog search snippet. Prices from a RamenDB snippet (中華そば 860円, 味玉そば 980円). Hotpepper says children not allowed, but the tourism page mentions kids' bowls, so feat_kids_welcome left out. Second branch '246店' at 船子1234-1 is separate.
