    A long-running Fujisawa shop opened in 2007 by a former ship's cook who trained at Shinasobaya under the late Minoru Sano and once ran that shop for him. The chicken-led broth stars in a shio wonton men that placed 13th in the TRY Ramen Awards 2025 veteran-shop salt category.

    Shio Wonton Men (塩ワンタンメン)

    Hours conflict: TRY 2026 says 11:30–13:30 only; the older Hotpepper basic listing also shows 18:00–19:00 dinner. Went with TRY (most recent). An undated aggregator (hamoni.jp) says the shop is 'preparing to relocate' (移転準備中) — not confirmed anywhere else; worth a check before publishing.
