Fukaya, Saitama, Japan｜Kurumaya

The miso ramen was exquisite and the char siu "バラ" was extremely delicious. Gyoza was very succulent and flavourful. Just wish they were hotter. The soups are very thick and rich so it coats the ramen very good. It's not meant to be drunken in my opinion. Overall a great experience. The owners are very polite too.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since the store is located off the main street. but! Contrary to my expectations, it was very delicious! I ordered ramen white (salt) topped with seasoned green onions for 100 yen. Salty flavor with a strong chicken base and yuzu scent. The taste of the soup, enjoyed with the nose and then sipped with a spoon of astragalus, is very well-balanced, delicate and not too strong, and doesn't bother you even in the summer heat. The slightly thick, champon-like noodles have a distinct wheat flavor. The large piece of grilled char siu has a chewy texture, which is different from today's soft and creamy char siu, but it's good enough that it doesn't interfere with the noodles or soup. And the seasoned green onions topping are wonderfully delicious! Is it tossed with large pieces of chopped pork? It contained a different type of char siu than the roasted char siu. However, this green onion is delicious. It tasted very good and felt fresh. This 100 yen topping is recommended! This time I ordered white (salt), so next time I would like to order black (soy sauce)! With this soup, the soy sauce flavor would definitely be delicious!

Entered the store around 13:30 on Saturday. Parking is available in front of the store. There were 6 counter seats and 4 small seats. Ordered the ramen black (soy sauce). The table seasoning included soy sauce and pepper. A bowl of rice in about 5 minutes. The soup was not too hot and had a moderate amount of seasoning, and the aftertaste was refreshing with citrus. The noodles are elastic and just the right length. The ingredients included 3 pieces of soft and moderately thick char siu (2 types?), 3 pieces of long tip menma, 2 pieces of seaweed, 1 piece of naruto, spinach, and chopped green onions. The boiled egg that was in the other photo was not included. (crying) I never thought I would find my favorite ramen in a place like this. Thank you for the meal. I'll come back later.
