History and origins

It is said that the original Ramen shop, Wakayama, which opened as a drive-in near Lake Jusan in 1974, is the birthplace of this ramen. This Ramen is made with Yamato clams, a local specialty with a strong flavor, large grains, and high nutritional value. Larger clams have a deeper flavor and fuller taste than smaller ones. When frozen, clams become eight times tastier, so they would also make a good base soup for Ramen.
