History and origins

Founded in 1970 Tenjin Soba is a leading Ramen restaurant that attracts customers from all over the country. Its menu only offers Tenjin Soba. However, there are various options available, such as "Niku-nuki" (no meat) without char siu (roasted pork, roast pork, or braised pork), "Niku-nuki with egg" (no meat, but with egg) without char siu (roasted pork, roast pork, or braised pork), "Large serving" and "Two servings" (double the noodles). The traditional way to eat it is to add the coarse chili Chili Pepper and pickled radishes that are available on the table. The oldest Ramen restaurant in Okayama Prefecture is said to be Asatsuki Honten, founded in 1948. Next is Fujiya, founded in 1950. Both Asatsuki Honten and Fujiya use Ramen soup based on pork bone broth, while Tenjin Soba is based on chicken broth.
