Otake, Hiroshima, Japan｜NagHama Ramen

One of the best ramen shops I have tried near Iwakuni. We had the spicy ramen, fried chicken and gyoza which was all delicious! They have an English menu and only accept yen.

Friendly staff and quick service, never a disappointment.

This is some of the best ramen I have had outside of Fukuoka. It lives up to the Hakata name, as the ramen is rich in flavor with delicate freshly made noodles (Hakata station, floor two, in Fukuoka, is known as 'ramen street'). The taste and texture is sublime. Order the spicy oil ramen, and get the noodles served "Kono otashi", which translates as 'powder drop'. The noodles, which are clearly freshly handmade here, will be al dente, and cook in the wonderfully aromatic and full flavored broth. I don't understand the negative and middling reviews, this ramen is some of the best I've had in my travels throughout Japan.
