Nishinomiya is known by just about everyone as a fiercely competitive ramen area, and even so, plenty of new shops opened in 2019.
So we put together a list of ramen shops in the city that opened last year and were featured on Nishi2.
I haven’t eaten at all of them myself, but since they’ve jumped into such a competitive ramen scene, every one of them looks delicious.
Use this as a reference for your first ramen of the New Year.
