Uozu, Japan
Hajime Ya
Hajime Ya places Uozu’s ramen culture in the same conversation as Toyama Bay sushi and coastal casual dining, with a Tabelog Ramen WEST “Tabelog 100” selection in 2025 and a format built for everyday use rather than ceremony. The appeal is direct: a ramen house with counter seating, table space, and enough local recognition to justify a detour within the city’s compact dining circuit.
