じゃらん explored the rich food culture of Fukushima, focusing on a 'ramen marathon' through Kitakata's most famous shops. While they enjoyed the curated selection of salt and back-fat ramen, the ultimate highlight was a local recommendation for Matsu Shokudo, which they crowned as their 'Ramen of the Year.'
