Kenchan Ramen locations in Koga and Yamagata draw crowds

Kenchan Ramen, a popular ramen chain in Eastern Japan, features highly regarded locations in Koga, Ibaraki, and Yamagata, Yamagata.

The Koga branch is noted as the only Kenchan Ramen location in the Kanto region. It utilizes a registration system for customers due to its popularity and is recognized for its unique, thinner curly noodles and rich soy sauce-based soup with a thick layer of oil.

The Yamagata branch is celebrated for its signature soy sauce soup, handmade noodles, and thick oil film. In addition to standard ramen, the shop offers 'tsukesoba' (dipping noodles). The establishment is also noted for its customer service, including the use of large evaporative coolers to protect customers waiting in lines from heatstroke.
