this legendary ramen shop made wakayama ramen famous. aged and small shop with full customers. free parking available. original is 750 yen, special is only 100 yen more, but with much more cut roasted boars (very tasty) and is therefore recommended. View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about Ide Shoten:
The legendary ramen that was once voted the best ramen in all Japan. Style is wakayama, it has round rather thin noodle and very chewy texture. There is only one type of broth and customers could customize to some extent such as add-ons eggs/pork slices. Taste of the broth was very mild albeit salty, with a tinge of either sake or fermented beans and perhaps ginger. Sushi (vinegared) rice wrapped in green papers and... View all feedback.

A very well-known Wakayama ramen shop which was once dubbed as one of the best in Japan! They only offer one type of 中華拉麵 with various sizes. Affordable price and excellent flavour. I can still remember how happy I was finishing the ramen!

Ide Shoten is the most famous ramen shop in Wakayama and it is even well-known across Japan. This little shop has been around since 1953, making only one type of ramen, “Ide style” Wakayama Ramen. Wakayama ramen has a base of soy sauce and tonkotsu pork bone with thin noodles. This restaurant does the soup a bit thicker than other places I’ve tried, so it has has a nice, deep, rich flavor. It’s no surprise there is a line even before the shop opens its doors. While they only make one ramen, they have varying options of larger portion of noodles and/or chashu, priced very reasonably from 700¥ to 900¥. I opted for their Special Large Soba at 900¥ with a flavored egg for 100¥ more. I was impressed with the great value and the nice, flavorfully savory taste. Before I left, I also picked up a Haya Sushi for 150¥ USD), which are commonly sold at all restaurants that serve Wakayama Ramen well, at least in the area). It’s a pretty typical Mackerel sushi, but I could see how it could go well to lighten up your tastebuds from the heavy ramen.
The ramen was delicious. There was a bit of a long que but it was worth the wait. There are English menus avaliable. You can look around the room and see all the celebrities who have ate here. It's a cozy atmosphere. There is a parking beside the restaurant.
