Hajime Ya

Located in Uozu City, Toyama Prefecture, "Hajimeya" is an authentic Iekei ramen shop directly affiliated with Yoshimuraya, and a popular establishment that has been selected multiple times for Tabelog's Ramen WEST Hyakumeiten. Its rich tonkotsu shoyu soup is characterized by a strong, punchy flavor with the sharpness of soy sauce and the richness of chicken oil. The noodles are short and straight, pairing perfectly with the soup. While queues form during peak hours, high turnover ensures relatively smooth entry. It's highly recommended for those seeking an authentic Iekei ramen experience in the Hokuriku region.
