    Best for

    Operating directly under the lineage of Shirakawa ramen founder Tora Shokudo in Fukushima, this Matsudo outpost serves pure chicken and pork chintan broth two minutes from Matsuhidai Station. Kitchen staff knead and beat noodle dough with heavy wooden poles before hand-cutting wavy, high-hydration noodles. The crystal-clear amber soup carries wood-smoked pork chashu cuts, menma bamboo shoots, and spinach.
