Somewhere between Totsuka and Hongodai you will find Moriya. Rated within the top 10 of shops within Kanagawa, is it worth a bus trip?
If a ramen shop could be my spirit animal it would be Moriya. A cozy interior decorated with mushrooms and penguins, yes please. The two person staff is also super friendly and eager to help. I ordered Shoyu Chashuwantonmen. What makes Moriya special are their locally sourced ingredients. Everything they make originates from small farms in the countryside of Japan.
This is a great bowl of shoyu. Wantons were juicy with just the right amount of salt. I found the mushroom to be slightly extraneous, but other than that everything else was in succinct harmony, including a perfect egg. Delectable and smokey base with thin, but not too soft noodles gives Moriya a 5/5. Take the trek, it's worth it.
