Tenri, Nara, Japan｜Saika Ramen

The flavour of the ramen was strong with garlic and a hint of chili, but if you like garlic this place is for you, with wait lists on a Sunday night it was clearly a favourite of the local ramen lovers. The Ponkara, Karaage with Ponzu sauce, was also nice and the Gyoza also fit well with the meal. The serving size is large so I will skip the sides next time, but it depends on how hungry you are.

This ramen is fattily excellent! I was a bit scared by the big crowd and the overall appearance of the place but after a 30 minutes wait I was truly surprised by the quality of this ramen! The other dishes aren't as nice however, so it's better to stick to their speciality.

Fantastic ramen in a bright, spacious atmosphere.
