Beginning trade in 1979 as a kitchen car located in Nakazuma-cho, Kontoki moved to a permanent location in Omachi 9 years later. As the area was full of other bars and eateries, Kontoki quickly became popular among the locals as the go-to place for a final bowl of ramen after a long night of eating and drinking. The store was destroyed in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster, but reopened in the Kamaishi Hamayuri temporary restaurant units within Suzuko-cho district in January 2012.
 
Kotoki is known for its extra fine curly noodles and its light and refreshing, soy sauce-based soup. It represented Iwate Prefecture at the Tokyo Ramen Show for two years in a row from 2011-2012.
