"This Japanese-style Chinese soba restaurant has been around for decades. It's one of the representative restaurants of Wakayama ramen known throughout the country. They're so popular that even during the weekday they have a long line waiting for the lunchtime specials. This is the perfect place for people who like soy sauce tonkotsu ramen with thin noodles."
"It was f'ing amazing. Wakayama tonkotsu-shoyu is one of my favorites and Ide Shoten is definitely in the top 5. The deepness of its shoyu flavor is inexplicably soulful. I swear... you'll be moonwalking like Michael all the way back to the station. Don't believe me? Trust me, you will!"
"If you really like your ramen, then why not try the “Best Ramen in Japan”. Ide Shoten, a restaurant near Wakayama Station, in Wakayama City, was last year voted the most delicious Ramen in Japan."
"The Best Ramen in Wakayama: Ide Shoten - Ide Shoten is very well known and once appeared as the best ramen on national tv over decades ago. This shop has long queues all the time and people purposely drive all the way there even now. The light color shoyu (soy sauce) broth ramen is the most popular item in the shop. So, plan your trip for the next holiday."
"Top 10 Ramen Restaurants in Wakayama: Ide Shoten - The ramen here has a rich flavour, and the broth is based on pork and soy sauce. However, it has a relatively light taste. When you choose the hardness of noodles, go for soft! One of the most popular ramen shops – just try it and enjoy!"
"The hole in the wall is easy to miss but worth seeking out for the ultimate Wakayama ramen experience. The broth is bold and complex, the noodles silky smooth, and the appreciative slurping noises heard throughout the restaurant are loud and plentiful."
"Best Ramen Noodle Restaurants In The World: Ide Shoten - This restaurant specializes in expertly flavored broths. Typically, they use pork bones to give their broth exceptional richness and wonderful flavor."
"The thick soup has a deep and mellow richness, and once you eat it, you will be addicted to it. The soup is soaked in the thin noodles, and the charcoal stewed to melt is also delicious. A perfect balance of tonkatsu soy sauce soup with thin noodles."
"Top 5 Ramen Shops in Wakayama: Ide Shoten - The almost addictive thick, rich-bodied soup looks terrific, and you’ll enjoy it to the last drop. The soup soaks into the noodles, and the delicious boiled char siu pork will melt in your mouth to complete the exceptional taste offered by this retro Showa era shop."
