Onomichi Ramen Tani is a popular ramen restaurant with an unbeatable location in a building just a minute’s walk from the JR Onomichi Station in Hiroshima. This Hiroshima restaurant is well known for Onomichi City’s famous “Onomichi ramen” which is a local specialty ramen that has a light soy sauce based soup and generous amounts of pork back-fat floating on top. Tani’s Onomichi ramen’s soy sauce based soup is richer than the average with a little more fat, but the ramen has a great reputation for its refreshing flavor. All of the seating in the restaurant is at the counter so even ladies coming alone can enter casually and the turn-around of customers is also quick so can get your bowl of noodles in a hurry and head out quickly if you like.

Soup made with great time and effort

The soup of the ramen is made by boiling together soy sauce and a seafood stock along with chicken and pork bones making for a deep flavor that is far lighter than it looks. In order to be able to provide the same high quality with every bowl of noodle, the soup is made with great time and effort focusing on every little detail even including the purity of the water used.

Hiroshima’s specialty “Onomichi ramen” that’s simple yet full of flavor

Without a doubt, the signature dish at Tani is the “Onomichi ramen” （600 yen including tax）. In addition to the deep flavored soup made from boiling the stock of small fish along with chicken and pork bones, generous amounts of large chunks of pork back-fat are added making for a sweet and rich flavor. The slightly thin but strong noodles make for a great balance with the soup and go wonderful with the simple toppings of chashu （sliced roasted pork）, green onions, and bamboo shoots.
