We stopped by “座右の麺,” a newly opened ramen shop along the Ozone Line.
It’s a new ramen shop started by the owner of “鳥人” and “麺屋桜息吹鳴尾店,” which used to be in this location.
The name “座右” means “close at hand,” and the shop was named “座右の麺” because they want it to be a familiar, neighborhood ramen place.

“座右の麺” Food
I ordered the “Dashi Shio Ramen (with finishing dashi chazuke set)” (1,000 yen).
Apparently, this is the shop’s recommended dish.
It’s a set that lets you enjoy ochazuke using the soup left over after you finish the ramen.
The soup is a beautiful amber-colored salt-based broth, with a strong seafood dashi flavor. They also say no chemical seasonings are used.
There is also yuzu peel in it, adding a nice fragrant accent.
The noodles are medium-thin straight noodles. If you look closely, you can see little black specks, and these are apparently homemade noodles made with whole wheat flour.
They had a very smooth feel and a nice texture, making them delicious noodles that went perfectly with the light soup.
The toppings are “chicken,” “thinly sliced chashu,” and “menma,” with the unusual addition of “arare” rice crackers on top.
The “menma” was a large uncut piece, while the “chashu” was extremely thinly sliced and rare-style, making the toppings distinctive as well.
After finishing the ramen, you pour the remaining soup over this and enjoy it as the finishing “dashi chazuke.”
It looks like this.
Since it’s a seafood dashi and salt-based soup, of course it goes perfectly with rice.
With the flavors of nori and wasabi, you can enjoy a completely different side of the soup from the ramen.
I also had the side menu “gyoza” (350 yen).
They were classic delicious gyoza, with chewy wrappers and juicy filling.
