A restrained soy and pork-bone bowl with thin straight noodles, chashu, spring onion and bean sprouts, still called chuka soba here rather than ramen.
Hiroshima ramen grew from postwar street stalls in the western half of the prefecture, and locals kept the older term chuka soba, meaning Chinese noodles, long after the rest of Japan moved to ramen. The broth is a blend of soy sauce and pork bone, lighter and cloudier than Hakata tonkotsu and darker than a Tokyo shoyu bowl. Youki has cooked the same single-dish menu in Eba since 1958, and Hiroshima shops still tend to serve one bowl and nothing else, with no side menu and no seasonal specials.
