Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan｜Ryugu

I had been curious about this place for a long time, but it was difficult to go in due to the atmosphere of the restaurant, so today I finally visited during lunch time and had ramen and half-fried rice. Half-fried rice is not on the menu, but they offered it to me at half price. The ramen is soy sauce ramen with a strong fishmeal aroma. From the moment it is placed on the table, the pleasant aroma of fishmeal tickles your nose. The fried rice is also delicious, belying its ordinary appearance! The aroma of the fried ingredients fills your mouth. It had a gentle taste with less salt. I was very satisfied with the food as it was more delicious than I expected from the store's appearance and the price was reasonable. After the meal, I was surprised that my mouth didn't feel tingly due to the chemical seasonings that are typical of Chinese cuisine. Do they use natural soup stock? The shop staff also have a friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at ease. Thank you for the meal! I'll bother you again.

*Note: Open for lunch only* Reasonable and delicious! It's one of the stores I've passed by many times but always ignored. I wish I had come in sooner. In fact, it was busy even during the daytime on a weekday. At first glance, ramen may seem like a simple, nostalgic flavor, but it actually has a lot of depth. Please try once! Mapo tofu is simply delicious. I would like to try other dishes as well. This may be a rude expression, but no matter which dish you order, you won't be disappointed.

It was a true and delicious fried rice from the Showa era. In Karuizawa, there are many restaurants that are expensive, small in quantity, and not delicious, catering to tourists, but this is a cheap and delicious restaurant that caters to locals. The portions are small, so a young construction worker ordered two items.
