A clear chintan soup brewed with large amounts of multiple local chicken breeds—such as Kuro Satsuma chicken, Yamato Nikudori, and Nagoya Cochin—is the hallmark of Kokujiru Bi Men umami. Standard favorites include the local chicken soy sauce ramen, featuring a clear golden soup layered with savory soy sauce aroma, and the local chicken salt ramen, enriched by flavorful chicken oil. The thick-cut charcoal-grilled chashu, seared over a shichirin charcoal grill and then cooked at low temperature, is renowned for its smoky fragrance and moist texture. For the finish, pair your meal with the specialty wasabi rice, topped with freshly grated wasabi and poured over with soup. Limited-quantity seasonal offerings featuring ingredients like oysters or daggertooth pike conger are announced on social media, occasionally drawing lines before opening. With only 10 counter seats and an entirely non-smoking interior, it is easy to visit alone. As operating days and opening hours vary by day, it is recommended to check official announcements before visiting. A 3-minute walk from Kawachi-Kosaka Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line.
