Namegata, Ibaraki, Japan｜牡丹江

I visited on a Saturday around 1:30pm. There were no customers before us, and one person who appeared to be a regular came after us. I ordered Tenjindon, which normally costs 1,100 yen, but on this day it was 1,000 yen with free service. I was hungry, so I thought the portions would be small when I arrived, but by the time I finished eating, it was just right. Tenjindon has a slightly sour bean paste that goes well with the fluffy egg and chewy rice. The ramen set with soy sauce flavor has a clear soup with thin noodles, and the basic lineup of toppings is chashu, menma, green onions, and naruto, and it feels like ramen from a Chinese restaurant in town. All of the menu items were delicious and you can't go wrong with them. The staff were also cheerful and pleasant, making it a pleasant lunch. I forgot to order gyoza, and I also want to try fried rice, so I would like to visit again.

Since it was almost 2 o'clock when I went there, they had run out of rice, so I ordered ramen and gyoza. The ramen was delicious with thin noodles, and the soup was delicious without being too strong. The miso curry ramen was also delicious. I want to go eat a set meal next time.

All of the menu items we ate were delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced.
