A tasty ramen spot close to Kagoshima-Chuo station. The place is run by 3 women staff only, which was cool to see (not very common in Japan). Very friendly service and good food.

I just came here cause my friend from Kagoshima recommended it. Not expecting much since I’m not a huge Kyushu Tonkotsu ramen fan. But wow, this is one of the best ramen I’ve tried! The ingredients and flavors are perfectly balanced. The meat is so tender and tasty and the broth is rich yet not too heavy. Usually I’m super full after ramen but this was the perfect level — not too fatty and heavy. It’s a must visit!

Amazing ramen! The broth was tasty and full of flavor. The egg was perfectly cooked. It’s also probably one of the best char siu I have ever tried; the pork was juicy, tender, and well-marinated. I ordered the regular serving. I regret not taking the large serving. The gyoza was okay if a bit small. Will likely return if I’m visiting the area again. Staff was also very friendly and accommodating.

A nice ramen with a light broth. The MVP is definitely the pork, and even a gentle prod with your chopsticks will break it. The soup however is fairly light for a tonkotsu broth, but did the job for two hungry travellers. We came off-peak but it would probably be fairly busy given that it's in the centre of the shopping and happening district.
