The “Shio Ramen with Raw Yuba” is topped with special raw yuba and has a light flavor that blends well with the unique texture of the yuba. Another must-try when visiting Ogo Town is the curry made with Okujishamo (Japanese whitefish). It is a dish that can be easily enjoyed, and its deliciousness is well-received.
