01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Open exclusively during midday hours, Nokoya centers its menu on rich pork bone ramen in two primary variations: shoyu (soy sauce) and shio (salt). The core tonkotsu ramen is offered in small/regular, medium, and large portions for both broth styles, making it straightforward to match whatever appetite you arrive with. The soup has a gentle touch of dashi aroma beneath the pork base and remains drinkable without turning overly heavy, fitting comfortably into a lunch break between work or shopping errands.
Customizing with Toppings and Rice Bowls
A standard lineup of toppings lets diners build out each bowl, with soft-boiled seasoned eggs, spinach, and roast chashu pork joined by quick additions like cabbage or bean sprouts for extra volume. For an all-in-one option, the Tokusei Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen comes fully loaded from the start. Sides like the negi-chashu rice bowl and smaller mini rice bowls can also be added alongside the noodles.
A Relaxed Counter for a Quick Midday Meal
Seating is arranged primarily along a counter, setting an easy, unpretentious tone that suits solo diners dropping in on their own. Payment is cash only, and business runs from 11:00 to 14:00, every day except Sunday. It makes a dependable midday stop when a solid bowl of noodles and rice is what is called for.
