A ramen shop run by a former Japanese national snowboarding team member, built by hand from shipping containers. Its signature brothless dan dan noodles are a favorite among Hakuba skiers.

The owner is a former member of the Japanese national snowboarding team. In January 2021 the shop moved from Echoland to the junction of Route 148 that leads to Hakuba Goryu Ski Resort. The owner and staff built the shop from shipping containers, and it has an L-shaped counter, table seating and a wooden deck. The signature is brothless dan dan noodles with thick noodles, generous toppings and an addictive spicy flavor. The shop also serves pork-bone ramen and gyoza. Nearly always a queue on weekends, and the shop closes early if the broth sells out. About 5 minutes’ walk from JR Jinba Station, with parking available.

Opening hours

About 11:30/12:00–21:00 (from 14:00 in winter); closed Thursdays and Fridays (seasonal changes; check the official Instagram)
