At Iwori in Sano City, many diners order the umashio ramen, where the savory aroma of fried green onions and flavored oil layers over a clear, light soup, leaving a long-lasting dashi aftertaste beneath its gentle saltiness. The curled, uneven noodles pounded by green bamboo have a chewy texture that lifts the soup well, earning acclaim as an evolved bowl that preserves Sano's tradition while creating a new flavor. The classic shoyu ramen combining chicken bones, pork bones, and seafood is also popular, and diners typically pair it with large, chewy-skinned gyoza or a chashu bowl featuring aromatic seared and melt-in-your-mouth pork belly tossed in a sweet sauce. For dessert, some finish with an almond tofu so smooth it can almost be drunk. Entering past the brick, storybook-like exterior opens into a high-ceilinged cafe-style space dotted with whimsical character touches, bustling with families and tourists thanks to its raised tatami and table seats.
