About this place
A ramen bowl finished at your table: hot broth poured over raw wagyu, which cooks to medium-rare right in front of you.
A dish that changes color at your table
The bowl arrives with raw, bright-red Matsuzaka wagyu, fresh mizuna greens, lemon and rich abura-kasu (crispy beef fat) arranged like a plated dish. You pour on the hot broth yourself, and the meat turns a perfect medium-rare in front of you.
It's the restaurant's signature moment: pour the broth from the separate pot, and the raw slices lighten in colour as they cook, releasing the fat and aroma of the beef right at the table.
A clean, drinkable broth
The broth blends katsuobushi, sababushi and kombu into a delicate, additive-free dashi — built on the quality of the ingredients rather than a heavy, in-your-face richness.
The richness of the wagyu and the depth of the abura-kasu dissolve into the broth, while the mizuna and lemon keep it fresh — it never turns greasy, and most people end up drinking the whole bowl.
Custom whole-wheat noodles from Kyoto
The noodles are a custom whole-wheat blend from Menya Teigaku, a well-known noodle maker in Kyoto — straight, medium-thin noodles with a soba-like aroma and a firm, springy bite that holds up against the delicate broth.
Beyond the bowl
The sizzling Wagyu Garlic Rice, served on a hot plate with a crisp, toasted bottom layer, is a popular way to finish the meal — on its own, or dressed with the table salt sauce for a second flavour.
Extra rice with the leftover broth is another common way to finish, so there's something to enjoy from the first sip to the last spoonful.

Notes for travelers
Many English reviews. The unusual ritual — pour the broth over the meat, then eat — is hard to grasp on a first visit, which makes the video guide a perfect fit. [Video guide available]

Reviews
The signature "experience" noodle bowl (¥1,000–1,200): hot broth is poured over raw sliced Matsusaka beef and mizuna at your seat, and you watch the meat change color in front of you. The seafood-based broth layered with aburakasu richness is described as "less ramen, more refined clear soup," and you can shift the flavor with lemon rounds or oboro kombu. The whole-wheat noodles taste closer to soba. The beef is a rare cut — only about 2kg per animal — salt-aged for a full day and cooked at low temperature. Only 10 counter seats, so queues at mealtimes are a given. [Web] Tabelog 3.55, 171 Retty reviews. Ticket machine system; three parking spaces behind the shop.
