Sakuragawa, Ibaraki, Japan｜青木商店

Very local type of ramen / yakisoba store. The portions are big and the prices are 650 for a large size yakisoba or 550 for normal size. The ramen is 450/550 for large or regular. Taste was decent and service was quick. Worth a visit if you're looking for a quick and cheap meal.

This place is a time travel capsule to the 70s. Don't judge the place by its appearance: it's old fashioned, dusty and old, but the ramen is delicious. The menu is ultra minimalist: soba, ramen or soup. That's it. The old ladies managing this place are doing a fantastic job. Clients are mainly local farmers and old timers.

I got the yakisoba with meat. Strongly seasoned, chewy thick noodles with a good texture! It's a delicious yakisoba. Locals eat yakisoba by dipping it in soup (^^)
