Oyama, Tochigi, Japan｜和風PING-PONG竹末

Oyama special ramen This has an amazing flavor. Tastes not oily or fatty but just light, which I feel less guilty eating this. Moreover, this restaurant is very clean.

Really nice ramen shop. Went for lunch on Sunday and the wait wasn’t too bad. I got the Oyama Special which was great. My wife got a tori paitan ramen which was also very good. Both had really flavourful broths.

I've been here multiple times, but this time it was for Saturday lunch. There is something called weekend limited noodles, and this time I ordered chicken paitan miso tsukemen. It was around 12:30 on Saturday, but there were about 5 people waiting, and we were shown to our seats in less than 10 minutes. Ei-chan's music was playing in the store as usual, and the master's operations were excellent as usual, and the staff cooperated well. The ramen was served in about 5 minutes after being guided to the seat. It looks great with chicken, roast pork, garlic fries and green onion topping. The soup was a rich chicken broth, and although it was my first time using miso, it went well with the chicken broth, and the yuzu was a nice accent. I thought the miso would be stronger, but it had a gentle flavor that enveloped the chicken broth. The noodles are flat so they mix well with the soup, and if you add too much, the soup won't be enough. I'm always impressed by how well this restaurant has researched ramen. It feels like you are eating luxurious Japanese food that goes beyond the ramen genre.
