Ramen is a popular gourmet food in Japan, and now there are ramen shops all over the world. There are many ramen shops in Hiroshima too, and they are competing for their taste every day.
Today, we picked up the shops around Hiroshima Station that many people use. Here we’ll share 3 restaurants that we visited and recommend!
IPPUDO（一風堂）
IPPUDO has a long history that founded in Fukuoka in 1985. It is one of the largest ramen shops in the world with 258 stores in 13 countries.
The popular menu is “Shiromaru”, which features Tonkotsu (pork bone) soup and thin noodles. The Tonkotsu soup that has been cooked for 18 hours and aged for a full day is excellent.
I reccomend IPPUDO for your first Tonkotsu ramen!

YOUKI（陽気）
YOUKI is a long-established ramen shop founded in Hiroshima in 1958. It is not an exaggeration to say ramen that people in Hiroshima love most.
The menu is only “Chuka Soba” and features Tonkotsu & soy sauce soup, and medium thin noodles. Compared to Tonkotsu soup, the flavor is not too strong and the taste is refreshing.
