Kato Shoten

Iekera-men Katoshoten is a ramen shop in Okayama that serves Iekei-style ramen. The bowl combines a deep tonkotsu shoyu broth with chicken oil, medium-thick straight noodles, chashu, and spinach. Customers buy a meal ticket at the entrance, are seated at one of 11 green counter seats, and can change the flavor with a complimentary pickled side dish. The shop has only counter seating, so a wait inside the store forms during busy hours.
