Wakayama is known for this style. Heavy pork tonkotsu soup with equally heavy, often local, shoyu seasoning. This particular shop, Yamatame Shokudo, is picture perfect, and a great way to start a local ramen tour. This shop has been open since 1953.
The most famous shop in Wakayama is Ideshoten, a must-hit for anyone on a ramen mission in the area. Keep in mind, though, that there are dozens of other quality shops around.
If you need a guide (and you probably do), check out the Wakayama Ramen Taxi. They will have you sorted in no time!
This was part of a trip I took to Wakayama to check out the ramen taxi.
