It serves clear, transparent chicken Ramen soup (chintan soup). On the other hand, "Takamiya" was founded in 1938 and is known for its slightly dark, sweet and salty Ramen soup and thick-cut pork slices (char siu, roast pork, braised pork). There are rumors that at one time they used Beef bone. Both Ramen offer simple yet unique flavors with few people continuing the tradition.
