Annaka, Gunma, Japan｜Koraku

I want you to go and try it But when I have time, I do it with a small group of people. *You may be refused depending on how crowded it is! Try not to talk too much while cooking (^-^) Calculate the money yourself. We want it to continue for a long time, so let's help (^-^) What I received was Charshu men ￥650 Gyoza ￥300 Even the gyoza skin is homemade! This is a unique and delicious gyoza. The chashu was also soft and delicious (^-^) We had a heartwarming time talking about nostalgic stories (^-^)

A well-known street Chinese restaurant run by a mother of the same generation as my mother. I was the first customer, so I hung up the noren and helped with the opening preparations, and now it's time to open! I had char siu noodles and fried rice! The char siu that has a strong taste is the best! The noodles are flat noodles, easy to eat and delicious! Fried rice is also the best because it tastes like a bag! I hope this famous restaurant will continue to do its best. I have to go eat again!

This was my first time in the town of Matsuida, but I had seen the impressive view of the rows of houses with Mt. Myogi in the background many times before, whenever I passed by the National Route 18 bypass that runs higher than the city center. I have a strong feeling that I was able to come down to this town and stop by. Nakasendo Matsuida-juku…Located along the ancient road… This town was a strategic point on the Joshin border... When people's transportation changed from highways to railways, when it evolved into the Shinkansen, when new bypasses were built due to the spread of automobiles, and when expressways opened, we have all been influenced by the trends of the times. I feel like that. There is a historical fact that people gradually began to pass through this town each time... It may be an exaggeration to say that it was at the mercy of the times... but, Even so, I learned that there are still people who stubbornly maintain their old shops in the same location. I was able to get a general idea of ​​the place from pictures and articles, but I wanted to visit and find out who continues to run the shop. My wish came true and I went to one of the restaurants, ``Kouraku'', to try the wonton noodles that I had heard about in The Wind. The store is closed on Mondays, and the store opens later than usual the next day. Although the front door was open at noon, ``I haven't put out the Noren yet, because if I did, people would think it was the customers doing it.'' A voice of restraint... After 12:30 p.m., I was given the OK to open the store and laid out the entrance mat. "Thank you," he said. (I'm glad I was of some help!) The freshly boiled wonton noodles, the same gyoza, and the cold bottle of beer that were wrapped right in front of me were all delicious. In addition to freshly cooked rice, the taste of other rice is also exceptional! … (People probably feel nostalgic for their mother's taste in places like this.) I came across a food store that appeared to be delivering purchased vegetables and drinks, and the way they treated me showed that there was a relationship of trust between them on a daily basis. The menu in easy-to-read letters posted on the wall was written by his son... (Is that so!) Children's drawings of grandpa and grandma tell us about their curly hair when they were young... I learned that there is a force that supports and supports her, who has a strong will to continue her career at her own pace without overdoing herself. His silent demeanor while cooking has the sternness of an expert, making it difficult to talk to him, but once that's done, he's talkative, including some jokes. It seems that he has finally shown his innate fun and cheerful nature. The source of the power to live is within yourself. I feel like I was taught by my older sister, Anne, who was born before the war. 2023.9.12
