Choosing a meal in Tokushima
Tokushima ramen gives you one local meal; sudachi citrus brings a tart note to other dishes. Look for it as an ingredient or accompaniment rather than assuming every ramen shop serves a sudachi version.

Use the photos and menu descriptions to choose a Tokushima ramen shop, as the broth differs between places. A dish with sudachi on the side lets you try another local flavour.
