Chiya recommends its miso ramen, for the authentic taste of Sapporo ramen here in Akakura. It’s is made with local Echigo miso, which is carefully aged for an extended period for an exceptional flavor. For an even richer flavor, ask for a topping of butter.

Along with ramen, Chiya serves a variety of other delicious dishes, including >kushi-yaki (grilled skewers of various ingredients), fried chicken and fried gyoza. The shop is also certified by Asahi Super Dry beer, so you're guaranteed a delicious cold brew.
