Takasaki, Gunma, Japan｜Barikiya - Takasaki

My friend mentioned that there’s usually a long line outside of this restaurant on the weekends so we decided to go on a weekday. We didn’t have to wait at all and were seated immediately. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and gyoza, which came out very quickly. The food was rich and delicious. What made this restaurant so great for me was that the portions weren’t huge, making it easy to finish everything. I strongly recommend checking this place out!

Always noticed this place packed on the weekend, and heard really good things about it. I stopped by for an early dinner on Friday so there weren’t many customers yet. The ramen was served perfectly. I didn’t think the broth was too rich, the the serving size was just right. Their gyoza wasn’t very heavy either. While I was there, I noticed the workers wiping down the menus. It made me feel very assured that this restaurant is kept clean.

I went in without much expectations, but I was surprised at how delicious it was. It's pretty authentic Hakata pork bone ramen. It contains wood ears, bean sprouts, chili oil, and chili pepper sauce from the beginning, and if you mix it while eating, the richness will gradually increase and the aroma will change, so you won't get tired of it. Noodles range from yaya to powdered noodles. I'm glad that there aren't many stores in the Kanto region that even offer powder powder. There are red ginger and bean sprouts on the table. I didn't use extra balls, so I went with it!
