    RA-MEN Yoheiji operates near Akakura Onsen in northeastern Yamagata's mountainous Mogami district. The kitchen specializes in concentrated chicken chintan by brewing whole local fowl with dried shiitake and konbu kelp. The deep amber broth is brightened with aromatic leek oil and mellow soy tare. Slices of tender braised pork chashu, sweet bamboo shoots, and scallions crown the chewy wavy noodles.
