Men-Ou Tokushima Ekimae Honten

Men-Oh Tokushima Ekimae Honten is a famous Tokushima ramen specialty shop, known for claiming the largest number of stores worldwide as a Tokushima ramen brand. Its tonkotsu shoyu (pork-bone soy sauce) soup pairs with medium-thin straight noodles, topped with sweet-salty simmered pork belly. Free condiments are plentiful, including pepper, garlic powder, sesame, spicy seasoning, and spicy bean sprouts. For extra noodles (kaedama), you can choose from regular Chinese noodles, chili pepper noodles, or black pepper noodles. After purchasing a meal ticket from the vending machine, you can select your preferred noodle firmness when ordering. Beyond the classic Tokushima ramen, there’s a wide lineup such as the luxurious Men-Oh Special (with char siu, pork belly, seasoned egg, nori, etc.) and Naruto wakame ramen. The rich soup pairs perfectly with rice. Located about a 2-minute walk from Tokushima Station and open late, it’s ideal after sightseeing or to end the day with a satisfying bowl. Because the chain has expanded nationwide via franchises, you can enjoy Tokushima ramen even outside the prefecture.
