Tsutafuji suits anyone who wants Onomichi ramen from a shop that started as a street stall, and the trade-off is a lunchtime queue for one of its eleven counter seats.
What to order
- Chūka soba in a regular (nami) or large (ō) bowl
- Chūka udon if you want the same soup over udon
Tsutafuji began as a yatai stall in the late 1940s and now runs a counter-only room on the harbour road, about 15 minutes on foot east of Onomichi Station. The soup is a mild pork and seafood shoyu with minced back fat floating on top, poured over thin straight noodles that keep their bite. Retty reviewers report waits from twenty minutes to well over an hour, so arrive at 11:00 or come mid-afternoon. Photos of the room are not allowed, though staff have let diners photograph the bowl.
Worth knowing
- Tuesday is the one closed day every listing agrees on, so plan a Monday visit with a phone call first.
