Bannai Shokudo Main Store
A famous Kitakata ramen shop known for its queues.

Among the top three renowned Kitakata ramen shops, Bannai Shokudo stands out for its popularity and inevitable queues. Kitakata has a long history of brewing industries like soy sauce, miso, and sake, leading to its nickname "the town of storehouses." Kitakata ramen, beloved by locals since old times, primarily features a soy sauce flavor.
Established in 1958 (Showa 33), this shop's signature is its "hand-kneaded" noodles. The flat, aged, high-moisture noodles are meticulously kneaded by hand right before boiling, achieving a supremely chewy and springy texture. The clear soup, slowly simmered from pork bones, is light yet rich, perfectly complementing the noodles.
The most popular dish is the simple "Shina Soba," topped with melt-in-your-mouth special roast pork, green onions, and bamboo shoots. The "Negi Ramen," with plenty of thinly sliced green onions and a special spicy sauce that blends well with the soup, and the "Niku Soba," generously topped with melt-in-your-mouth roast pork to the point where the noodles are barely visible, are also highly acclaimed.
