About the shop

What the home shop is known for and the story behind this bowl (from the shop's official information, the official announcement and restaurant guides).

A queue-worthy shop in northern Gunma, run in an old farmhouse on the mountain road to Shima Onsen. The owner, a Nakanojo native, makes salt, soy-sauce and rich-niboshi ramen from Japanese ingredients, plus the 'Shima Blue ramen' inspired by Lake Okushima and Joshu-beef noodle refills. Per the official announcement it won the Session 2 grand prix at Ramen EXPO 2025, and returns with a refined version of that bowl.
