Menya NOROMA is located next to the ticket gates of Yamato-Saidaiji Station, and is known for its ramen that impresses even ramen connoisseurs despite its close location. The shop only has counter seats, so you can enjoy the live feeling of the ramen being prepared right in front of you.

The signature dish is Tori Paitan Gyokai Ramen. The thick soup made from domestic chicken simmered for a long time is layered with ma kombu and fresh fish bones to create a deep flavor. The homemade medium-thin straight noodles have a smooth texture and can be enjoyed down to the last drop when paired with seared pork and seasoned egg.

Taking advantage of the location, many tourists stop by before or after touring the temples and shrines of Nara or visiting Saidaiji Temple. Seasonal toppings and secret menu items are often a hot topic on social media, so it's a good idea to check the official Instagram for the latest information.
