Toyama's must-try specialty: Black Ramen at Menya Iroha CiC Store

Toyama is famous not only for its seafood white shrimp from Toyama Bay but also for its "Black Ramen." This ramen features a broth seasoned with black soy sauce, giving it a rich black color. Despite its appearance, the flavor is sweet, refreshing, and not greasy. The noodles are wide and are complemented by generous amounts of green onions, coarsely ground black pepper, and pork belly chashu, making it a unique and delicious local specialty.

Located on the B1 floor of the CiC shopping mall opposite Toyama Station, "Menya Iroha" boasts a reputation of having won the Tokyo Ramen Championship five times (though this was over a decade ago). With branches across Japan, the quality is consistently reliable.

The Menya Iroha CiC store offers an excellent dining environment. The spacious and comfortable interior feels more like a Japanese izakaya. The menu is extensive, and you don't need to use a machine to order. Simply press the service bell, and a staff member will take your order personally. Credit card payments are also accepted, showcasing the convenience of dining in a shopping mall.
