麺屋 MASTERPIECE 勝浦本店

Katsuura Tantanmen is a unique style of spicy ramen hailing from the southern tip of Chiba’s Boso peninsula. Light broth, spicy oil, and a boatload of coarsely chopped onions define this style. MASTERPIECE is one of many, many shops in the area serving this tantanmen, and like many shops, you will probably need a car or motorcycle to make it here.

Some Katsuura Tantanmen shops in the area (Ezawa comes to mind) tend to serve a limited menu. Not MASTERPIECE. Their menu book is a dozen pages of choices. Clear soups, creamy tonkotsu soups, and soups flavored with miso are a few choices.
