A short walk from Sakurayama Station, Koyoken is a standalone restaurant preserving Nagoya's distinctive Korai-style ramen since 1976. The signature feature is extra-thick menma that completely blankets the bowl, prepared over several days from Taiwanese machiku bamboo shoots. It wins over patrons with its tender yet pleasantly crunchy bite and mild, clean taste. The clear herbal broth, simmered for hours with chicken bones, root vegetables, and seafood, offers a light and gentle flavor that diners love customizing with table seasonings like ginseng vinegar and chili oil. The compact 11-seat counter space is kept spotless all the way into the stainless steel kitchen, where the coordinated calls of the master and his wife and the system of ordering with wooden tags remain cherished traditions. Long lines can form on weekends, but turnover is swift thanks to efficient ordering while in line. The shop is non-smoking throughout, has parking for 6 cars to its west, and warmly welcomes both solo visitors and families.
