    Sugai Shokudo sits along Route 121 in southern Kitakata, pairing classic clear shoyu ramen with house-simmered pork offal stew. The broth blends boiled pork bones, dried sardines, and aromatic vegetables under a clean soy sauce seasoning. Thick hand-kneaded curly noodles soak up the soup without growing soft.
