Shukaen (朱華園) - Onomichi City, Hiroshima, Japan

From the moment I first arrived in Hiroshima and began talking to people about my trip, I kept hearing subtle whispers of Shukaen in Onomichi. Even after I got back, people continued to ask me if I got to try Shukaen. Easily the most popular ramen shop in Onomichi (mostly with the tourists), Shukaen delivers with a distinct fish and chicken (torigara) based shoyu soup that is sure to delight the masses. The layer of oil and bits of chicken fat keeps the ramen hot all the way down to the last drop. The homemade noodles are wonderful and had me skipping like a little boy trotting like a grown man all the way back to the station. They also serve some Chinese dishes that I hear are great. I only wish I could've tried them all...


It's about a 20-minute walk from Onomichi Station and a few blocks around the corner from Tsutafuji. Just head towards the Onomichi Ropeway and enjoy the walk along the Seto Inland Sea. Open from 11am to 8pm. Closed on Thursdays and every third Wednesday of the month. Expect long lines.
