All Reviews of Ekikama Kishimen Chuo-dori

When you come to Nagoya Station, of course you have to find a chance to try Nagoya's iconic traditional noodle dish—kishimen!

The most distinctive thing about kishimen is its wide, flat noodles, with a texture a bit like wide, flat rice noodles. Served with hot broth, it's simple but full of Nagoya flavor. This time I tried it at Ekikama Kishimen inside Nagoya Station. It's conveniently located and perfect for travelers who want a quick meal.

It's also inexpensive, and the portion is just right. It has a simple, authentic feel.

Tucked inside Nagoya Station is a hidden gem known mostly to locals. No need to go out of your way—it’s perfect for a quick bowl before catching the Shinkansen.

Their specialty is Nagoya-style kishimen. The springy, chewy flat noodles are served with a rich dipping sauce made from bonito and mackerel broth blended with soy sauce. It’s savory and flavorful without feeling heavy, and every bite leaves you wanting more. The noodles are made by a century-old noodle maker, which explains their fantastic texture.

If you’re not sure what to eat first in Nagoya or need a quick meal before your train, definitely add this spot to your list!
