  • Store-exclusive Niboshi Black

Just steps on foot from Wakayama Station, Seino Kintetsu Department Store Wakayama is located in a corner of the basement food hall of Kintetsu Department Store. The signature offering is its rich Wakayama ramen, featuring a thick pork bone soy sauce soup that clings well to thin straight noodles; despite its deep appearance, it is renowned for a clean finish. The balance of green onions and chashu pork is excellent, while the store's exclusive Niboshi Black—dark and rich in appearance—is widely enjoyed for its harmonious blend of dried sardine and soy sauce flavors. The refined depth of the broth is also said to come from aged soy sauce brewed in Yuasa. Even adding a rice bowl topped with diced or seared chashu stays within the ¥1,000 range. Ordering and paying at the register beforehand ensures swift service, which is convenient when waiting for a train or taking a break from shopping. With only 8 counter seats, it is cozy yet entirely non-smoking, making it an easy stop for business travelers and tourists seeking authentic local flavor.
