【Part 2】
In this article, I will introduce a ramen shop in an unexplored area which frequently sees long lines of customers and an authentic handmade hamburger restaurant which is very popular among motorcyclists.
Ramen Kawa
THIS IS the SECRET AREA! At “Ramen Kawa”, you can taste the exquisite “salt ramen” with a special taste that only exists here.
The salt ramen and tuna bowls made by a master cook (who was a former sushi chef), are exceptional!
Many people come from far away to get a taste of this unique ramen.
Kawa is so popular that during the busiest tourist seasons, ramen may be sold out as soon as it opens at 11:30am.
↑Reception table at the storefront
Kawa does not accept reservations in advance, so when you arrive, write your name and the number of people on the reception book and wait for your turn in front of the store.
Due to limited stock, ramen may be sold out at the reception before opening!
(On Saturdays and Sundays, I recommend you visit as early as possible)
↑Kawa has a cozy atmosphere
There are only 2 menu items: ramen ¥1,000 and ramen and tuna bowl set ¥1,500!
↑ramen and tuna bowl set ¥1,500
The salt ramen has a rich chicken broth, salted to perfection with a subtle hint of yuzu citrus flavoring.
I have never eaten delicious salt ramen quite like it…
Half-boiled eggs and thick, umami-rich char siu are the best toppings for this ramen!
The tuna bowl, which is made up of large pieces of tuna, is also special!
This bowl, which includes vinegared rice, seaweed, and soy sauce with wasabi, is truly a menu option created by a former sushi chef. It’s certainly delicious enough to draw people to the restaurant on its own.
Why don’t you enjoy this exquisite and unforgettable ramen that the master cook made with all his heart!?
