Located in a corner of Chikusa Ward, Nagoya, within walking distance of Imaike Station, Chuukasoba Naru is a cozy ramen shop with just 10 counter seats. Its signature dish is tsukesoba, pairing chewy, flat, thick whole-wheat noodles with a rich chicken, pork bone, and seafood broth. The dish is repeatedly praised for its level of perfection, allowing diners to enjoy shifts in flavor with fragrant yuzu and the kick of yuzu kosho, all the way to finishing the broth with soup-wari at the end. The shop is favored by connoisseurs who also appreciate thoughtful touches such as reheating the dipping broth if it cools down. Other well-regarded offerings include a shio chuukasoba with a creamy salt-based soup, an intensely concentrated niboshi (dried sardine) broth, thick and crunchy bamboo shoots (menma), and seasoned soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks. The bright, clean, predominantly white interior is completely non-smoking, and guests purchase meal tickets from the machine at the entrance before waiting in line. The setting allows solo diners to immerse themselves quietly in their meal, making it well worth the wait in line.
