Nagano, Japan｜Sekitoba

The ramen that I personally adore more than just love is this restaurant's ``Aka Toba Ramen''. Every time, instead of saying, ``I've arrived at Akatoba, what should I eat?'', I think, ``I came to eat Akatoba ramen!'' I've been going there for many years, but I've never eaten anything other than Akatoba ramen. The soup is not strong, but it is dry, sour, thick and piping hot. Although it probably falls under the category of "sour and sour noodles" in terms of genre, I think it also has a uniqueness that can only be enjoyed here. The inside of the store is compact, and because smoking was allowed for many years before the law was introduced, the smell of cigarettes permeated the inside of the store, and when I put my mask on the table, the smell transferred. The parking lot is difficult to find and narrow, and even if it is empty, it will be difficult to park unless you have a light or small vehicle. Still, I would like to see more people understand the above-mentioned drawbacks and go through the troubles to eat it and think it's delicious, and that's how much I recommend Akatoba Ramen.

A shop that feels like "The Showa". The recommended red rabbit horse ramen has a great "vinegar" feeling, so you might get choked. But very delicious.

It was highly rated, so I went to see it. Inside the shop, which looks like a renovated coffee shop, you will be greeted by a friendly mother. It was a satisfying taste with just the right amount of sweetness from the vegetables.
