Kitakata Ramen Niijima “Chashu Men”(喜多方ラーメン 新じま チャーシューメン) is a special dish made by the owner of the closed “Makoto Shokudo” who has been a fan for 12 years.
I was born and raised in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, and I ate local ramen until I graduated from high school. When I was a child, my father would always take me to Kitakata City. When I moved to Tokyo, I encountered a completely different type of ramen, which sparked a new interest in me, but I always missed the ramen from Aizu, so I ate local ramen every time I returned home.

Ramen Hot Tip Information
Kitakata Ramen Niijima (喜多方ラーメン 新じま) (3 minutes walk from Minowa Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line) opened on July 5th of this year(2023). The owner is a self-proclaimed ramen lover who has been a “Ra Ota(ramen freak)” for 12 years. There is no way that the ramen made by such a ramen lover is not delicious. Moreover, since Kitakata is where his mother is from, the ramen also has the word “love” in it. We recommend the chashu ramen with plenty of soft pork.
