Kitashiobara, Fukushima, Japan｜Murabito

Great spot for lunch right on the lake! When I visited in December it was the only place open in the area. The menu machine had pictures, which made ordering easy (even if your Japanese is limited. I had the ramen and gyoza set - good amount of food for the price! Definitely recommend.

I had a really nice (and big!) katsudon here. There’s a nice view of the lake. The staff was really friendly, too.

There is a beautiful location (Lake Hibara) nearby. I was thinking of eating Kitakata ramen somewhere, so I ended up having it at this restaurant. The soup was light and thick with thick noodles, and the chashu pork was soft and delicious.
