    The owner's personal Instagram (@n_kentarou0625) gives the address and the parking tip, but it is a personal account, so it is not linked as the shop's. The Hyakumeiten 2025 selection is from a Tabelog review snippet. The second shop (二代目南州ラーメン kanagawa) opened 11 Apr 2026 in Fuchinobe. The Hotpepper page is an empty shell (user photo only).
