Welcome to Onomichi, Hiroshima. Here, ramen is light yet rich: a clear shoyu broth layered with small dried fish (niboshi) and a gentle touch of pork back fat, paired with flat noodles. It’s simple, honest, and deeply local — a perfect taste of everyday Japan.
A new favorite inspired by the late Shukaen, the most famous ramen shop in Onomichi’s history. Shu carries on that legacy with a clear soy-based broth made from chicken and small fish, topped with just the right touch of back fat. The flavor is gentle, nostalgic, and beautifully balanced.
