First opened in 1952 to feed bustling fish market workers with fast bowls of thin noodles in rich tonkotsu broth, Ganso Nagahama-ya became a legendary cornerstone of the city's noodle culture. The original stall pioneered the famous concept of kaedama, allowing hungry patrons to order extra servings of noodles on the fly. Although the stall relocated following local road redevelopment, its historic former spot is marked with eye-catching signs, arrows, and banners declaring the true lineage of the shop and guiding visitors to the current location nearby. Visiting this storied location offers food lovers a fascinating glimpse into the fierce passion and rich history behind the local ramen heritage.
