Gotemba, Shizuoka, Japan｜Kourakuen

Food was great and came really quickly! Not too pricy either. Being cash because they don't accept credit card (at least American). They also do take-out and will pack your food to go!

It used to open at 8am, but now it opens at 10am. The price has risen considerably from the past, but the char siu is also a solid one. Steady ramen from a steady chain. The dumplings are perfectly cooked. It tastes better than other ramen chains.

I got stuck in a highway traffic jam and visited the store just before closing time. Of course there were customers in the store, but I was able to enter comfortably without getting any unpleasant looks. It's been a while since I've used the touch panel ordering at Korakuen, and before I knew it, I was able to choose the firmness of the noodles. The salt ramen is refreshing and the soup is delicious. The fried rice wasn't too flavorful, and the gyoza were crispy and delicious.
