Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan｜Tsurutsurutei

In search of a unique taste... I visited Tsurutsuru-tei, an important restaurant that has stood on this street for a long time. At noon on a Saturday, the parking lot was full when I arrived. When I went inside, the counter was empty so I took a seat. I ordered Tandan Tsukemen (2 balls, a little spicy), which I was interested in after reading the reviews. While I was waiting, I looked inside the store and found that it had a nice Showa era atmosphere. There are many families and neighbors, so it's a peaceful place... You can see how this store is stacked up. The rice bowl arrived in about 5 minutes! The noodles are thin and have a chewy texture. The soup has a slightly sour taste that you can only get here. No wonder the word of mouth said it was addictive! I think it's especially appealing in the summer... Prices start from 600 yen, which is reasonable! It was a shop that made me feel like I wanted it to stay here forever. Thank you for the meal.

It was my first time visiting the store. I ordered salted pork belly from the menu. My husband ordered 3 balls of tsukemen! Both were delicious, so I will come again (*^^*)

I received a large serving of salty salt ramen🍜It was a bit bland for me, but I added a little white pepper👍 It seems that the owner will be taking a break from serving fried rice for a while due to worsening tendinitis. Next time I would like to try Dandan noodles.
