Chuka soba

The shop that made Wakayama ramen famous: a deep brown pork-bone-and-soy broth. Locals pair it with mackerel hayazushi.

Before you make the detour

ANA’s Wakayama food guide names Ide Shoten in its account of the city’s ramen tradition, noting that Marutaya’s owner trained there. The guide describes the region’s pork-broth-and-soy-sauce chuka soba, rather than providing a current Ide Shoten branch menu.

This source supports regional context, not today’s opening hours, queue or menu. Do not transfer the guide’s address for Arochi Marutaka, or its descriptions of other restaurants, to Ide Shoten.
