Okkundou Mazemen

Tucked away in central Hiroshima, Okkundou Mazemen specializes in mazemen—a rich, brothless style of ramen featuring thick, chewy noodles tossed in a savory, customizable soy-and-oil sauce. It is a fantastic, fast-casual alternative to the city's ubiquitous okonomiyaki, highly regarded for its deep umami flavors and customizable spice levels. Expect a cozy, no-nonsense shop with ticket-machine ordering and a lively local atmosphere.
