    Best for

    Established in 1960 in the port city of Sakata, Wantanmen no Mangetsu is the defining institution of Sakata wonton ramen. The signature wontons feature skins rolled to a translucent thickness of 0.3 millimeters that float weightlessly across the soup like clouds of silk. The amber broth is extracted from roasted ago flying fish, dried anchovies, kelp, and chicken bones. The result is an ethereal and comforting bowl with zero grease.
