Teuchi Kagehinata is a small ramen shop with only 4 counter seats and 1 two-person table, situated in a quiet residential neighborhood just a few minutes' walk from Bubaigawara Station. Its hallmark is the ultra-thick handmade noodles measuring 3–5 cm in width; reminiscent of Kishimen or Himokawa, these broad strips have a mochi-like chewiness meant to be thoroughly savored through chewing rather than slurped. Directly passed down from Kawasaki's "Hikage," the deep black broth combines meat and seafood dashi (Japanese soup stock) with pronounced notes of ginger and soy sauce, clinging robustly to the thick noodles. The popular choice is the wonton char siu ramen, loaded with diced pork belly char siu and wontons wrapped in the same dough as the noodles, often paired with a ginger bowl topped with sweet-and-savory minced meat scented with ginger. The owner handles everything from cooking to the register alone, earning a reputation for polite and friendly hospitality even during peak hours. The shop is entirely non-smoking and accepts cash only, and with lines forming before opening, visitors should plan with plenty of time.
