Santa is a well-known ramen shop in Hamamatsu, and they’ve opened a spin-off that specializes in thin-noodle ramen.
The table
Pretty standard setup.
The ramen
It feels a lot more refined than the original Santa.
The noodles
Definitely thin. I guess some people will love this style and others will stick with the original. I was happy with both.
The menu
Prices are reasonable, and there are quite a few freebies too. There were two of us and they handed us three tickets… collect enough and you get things like free gyoza. I guess that’s part of the secret to Santa’s popularity.
The ticket machine
There’s even a student discount… it really feels like a neighborhood ramen shop. It’s not some legendary place, but there’s a reason it’s been doing well for so long.
