Gottsuo Ramen

Western Honshū


Get a taste of Tottori's take on ramen, which uses beef bones for the base rather than pork. This small joint is known for its flavoursome, thin, almost fresh broth and soft cuts of pork. Sit at the bar or tables with a beer and side of gyōza. Friendly English-speaking staff can help you navigate the menu.

It's on Suehiro-dōri, east of the intersection with Ekimae-dōri. Look for the door with the octagonal window.
