This cozy, 10-seat ramen spot serves some of the best miso ramen I’ve ever had (and trust me, I became really picky about ramen). Nagano is renowned for its miso, a local specialty that’s been perfected over centuries, known for its deep, umami-rich flavor with just the right balance of savory and slightly sweet notes. The miso broth here captures all of that - it is rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The restaurant is small, so there’s often a line during peak hours. To get in line, you’ll need to write your name on the list inside the shop, then head back outside and wait until your name is called. It’s absolutely worth the wait for a bowl of this local treasure.
