    Chuka Soba Takano ranks among Kanagawa's premier ramen destinations, located two minutes from JR Oguchi Station West Exit. The master brews an unadulterated chicken chintan broth using solely spring water and Daisen jidori chicken bones. The signature tsukesoba arrives with silky house-made noodles bathed in chilled kelp dashi water, paired with a hot, fragrant chicken dipping soup.
