Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan｜Hanamen

The curry ramen was delicious, but the soy sauce ramen was even better! The dried sardines are so good that I want to eat them again.

Sunday afternoon visit. There are about 4 parking lots in front of the store. There are 6 counter seats and 2 table seats for 4 people. This day is almost full. Temperature checks are mandatory when entering the store. The order is seated and told to the clerk. On this day, we ordered Rich (1120 yen) with 2 pieces of pork, Hot (1060 yen) with 2 pieces of roasted pork (1180 yen) + B set (380 yen). There is also a wide selection of toppings that you can customize to your liking. The price range is high and the wall of 1000 yen has collapsed. The quality is just acceptable for this price. The soup is spicy yet slightly sweet. The topping eggplant is very delicious, and the roasted pork is muddy and crumbles with chopsticks. It's crazy good.

At the crossroads from my relative's house, let's have a light dinner at Hanamen. It's been 8 and a half years since I last visited. It's been a long time! ! It was around 6:30 pm and there were 7 customers in front of me, and since it was a holiday, I got the impression that there were a lot of families and couples, so I went to the table in the back without waiting. I ordered curry ramen (rich version) topped with a piece of chashu. The rice bowl arrived after a little over 10 minutes of waiting. ．． ．． The placement of ingredients has been decided ^^ The soup is thick and viscous, so if you spill it you'll be in trouble, so wear an apron ^^; The noodles are medium-thin and slightly curly, with a chewy texture and a little soft. The char siu is quite thick and has a good fat balance, and the other ingredients are green peppers, eggplant, corn, and asparagus. The rich roux has a deep flavor and high viscosity, so the soup sticks to the noodles well.It really feels like you're eating curry, and if you're hungry, I think adding rice is the answer!
