    Best for

    Operating since 1974 five minutes from Shin-Onomichi Station, Tonchinkan stands among Onomichi's most celebrated traditional ramen shops. The broth brews pork bones, chicken, and Seto Inland Sea small fish into a dark amber soup studded with melting cubes of pork back fat (seabura). Flat noodles slide easily through the savory, savory-sweet soy broth.
