Ekikama Kishimen Chuo-dori is the perfect spot to casually savor kishimen, Nagoya's renowned flat noodle dish, conveniently located within the concourse of Nagoya Station. Situated close to the Shinkansen ticket gates, it's ideal for grabbing a quick bite right before departure.

The broth—key to its flavor—is made from a rich yet refreshing blend of tamari soy sauce and carefully selected bonito and mackerel flakes. The noodles, provided by the long-established Yoshida Noodle Company (founded in 1890), are crafted using only premium domestic wheat flour and salt. Adjustments in flour composition and salt concentration are made daily based on weather and seasonal variations, resulting in a silky-smooth, chewy noodle reminiscent of handmade texture. Enjoy the perfect harmony between the chewy noodles and flavorful broth.

In addition to the standard kishimen, the shop offers various toppings, including tempura fritters (kakiage kishimen) and beef (niku kishimen). Cold kishimen noodles, perfect for hot summer days, are also available.

Open from 7:00am, the restaurant provides a perfect quick breakfast option. A morning set featuring kishimen alongside another Nagoya specialty, tenmusu (rice balls with tempura), is available until 9:00am on weekdays.
