LA's Newest Century-Old Ramen Shop: Hinodeya πβ¨
A legendary Japanese ramen shop founded in 1885! π― With four locations in Japan, itβs already in its fourth generation of ownership. It holds the top ramen spot in Saitama on Tabelog! π₯ Hinodeyaβs LA branch just opened one month ago in Little Tokyo! π―π΅π They specialize in dashi-based broth β not the heavy tonkotsu or soy sauce style, but a light yet deeply flavorful soup. π²π« We tried the classic Hinodeya ramen and the clam broth ramen β both were incredibly rich and delicious! The recommended soy milk matcha drink was also perfectly creamy and not too sweet. π΅π The staff emphasized that all their noodles and broths are handmade. π§π³ According to the menu, their head chef has even served former U.S. President Bill Clinton! π¨πΌπΊπΈ Every time a new guest arrives, the staff strikes a traditional drum at the entrance β creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere in this cozy little shop! π₯π #WhatToEatToday #LosAngeles #LittleTokyo #RamenLA #JapaneseRamen #HistoricRamen #DashiRamen #LARamenSpot #HiddenGemLA #FoodieFind
