Notes:  Priced at $11.95.  Onoya is located in Shirokiya Japan Village Walk inside Ala Moana Shopping Center.  I thought this was an average bowl of ramen, particularly because I wasn't a fan of the black garlic oil and what tasted like black pepper.  Overall the broth accomplished the "paitan" broth which is usually an opaque, white, and cloudy bone broth - it was flavorful but salty.  I expected a bit more from the ramen only because Onoya won the 2017 Shirokiya Japan Village Walk (SJVW) Ramen Wars.
