Menya Mitsuba Kuroba Honten

Menya Mitsuba Clover Honten, a 2025 Ramen Hyakumeiten, is a hugely popular ramen and tsukemen shop in Kuki City, Saitama. It's celebrated for its incredibly chewy homemade thick noodles, so flavorful they can be enjoyed with just salt and lemon before dipping into the rich, aromatic seafood-pork bone soup. Despite a somewhat challenging walk from the nearest station, the shop consistently draws long queues, especially on weekends, with a morning queueing system, making it a highly sought-after culinary experience.
