Nagano, Japan｜Chirimen-tei Nagano Ekimae

5 stars to this place in Nagano because of accessibility, food choice, taste, and experience. The dining spot is located very close to Nagano Station and can be reached within a minute walk. I also recommend this place for those who can't eat ramen heavily as they are only a few of the joints that offer small-size ramen servings in three variants... Soy sauce, salt, and salt and tomato. My wife was never a heavy eater so she had ordered the small-size ramen with soy sauce. Despite the size, she was able to finish it down to the last drop. The stock used is very tasty and the servings are generous and justly priced. I had a black sesame tsukemen and the dipping sauce is excellently made. The noodles are firm and the pork slices are tasty. Had an extra slice for 110 yen, which I consider cheap. The experience is also great because though the place is not that big, the seating is big enough to accommodate you and your things, as well as your food. Oh, and gyoza here has both pork and veggie variants so it's excellent for those who'd prefer to eat one of those I mentioned.

Great ramen and gyozas for the price. Was 1800 yen for two bowls of ramen and a plate of pork gyozas. Staff were very friendly and spoke good English.

Demolished our ramen so fast cause it was so good! The meals look exactly as they are described on the menu and the service is really good. They offered us English menus which was nice!
