鶏白湯 最高の一日 (Tori Paitan Saikō no Ichinichi) is tucked in a compact corner of Takamatsu’s Furubaba-dōri, just a 6-minute walk from Kawaramachi Station. It’s a night-only ramen spot specializing in rich chicken paitan ramen—available in three levels of broth intensity: kōttori (thick), kossari (balanced), and assari (light).

Ramen Senmon Kami (拉麺専門 神) in Kochi City quietly marries the finesse of Chinese cooking with the comfort of Japanese ramen. The chef—trained in Beijing-style cuisine before a decade of ramen work in Japan—is behind a bowl where each sip balances a deep, mellow pork broth with meticulously prepared ingredients.

The headline here is a clear, golden tai (sea bream) shio ramen—built on local catch (including Sukumo’s “shōga‑madai”) and finished to highlight clean seafood aroma over heavy richness. If you’re mapping out shio ramen in Kochi or curious about regional seafood broths in ramen across Japan, this one belongs on the list

Just off the Shiomachi Shopping Street in Setoda, Sayo is a small eatery with a red awning and a hyper-local twist on ramen—one that reflects the town’s citrus-loving identity. While the shop keeps a low profile, it’s known among travelers cycling the Shimanami Kaido for its Setouchi lemon ramen, a clear-broth bowl that arrives with fresh lemon slices floating like a garnish from the region’s orchards.

At its core, the house specialty is an Onomichi-style ramen—a clear, soy-based bowl built with dashi from local Seto Inland Sea niboshi (small dried sardines), topped with flat, springy noodles and scattered pork back fat for texture and depth.
