Shonai Menjo 997, located just outside central Tsuruoka in Yamagata Prefecture, offers a delightful ramen experience. Though a bit off the beaten path along Route 7 towards Atsumi Onsen, this ramen shop is worth the visit. Known for its customizable ramen options, including the popular meat broth Chinese noodles, you can enjoy a hearty bowl topped with generous slices of char siu pork. For a lighter option, try the Abura-soba, a surprisingly refreshing and flavorful dish. Perfect for a casual lunch, Shonai Menjo 997 provides an authentic taste of local ramen.
