Abiko, Chiba, Japan｜Ramen Minoriya

It was my first time visiting this shop, and it was a very nice shop. The store is bright and lively! Ordered gomoku wonton noodles and gyoza (^^) The Gomoku Wonton Men was very good with a delicious salty flavor that came with kamaboko and Chinese cabbage boiled egg, and the soup stock of the ingredients. I also liked that the noodles were thin and white and light. The wontons are also standard and good. I liked the texture of the gyoza skin, and the grilling was crispy and delicious. The ramen with lots of menma on it looked delicious, so I'm thinking of having that next time.

2022-05 This is a Chinese restaurant located along National Route 356 in the middle of Abiko City. It's far from the station, probably between Higashi Abiko and Hubei. I used it for the first time for lunch on Saturday. It's an old Chinese restaurant that has been in business for over 50 years, and I've been interested in it for a while, but when I searched it online, it seemed like smoking was allowed inside, so I had a hard time going there. However, the other day I saw information on a certain gourmet site saying that all seats are non-smoking, so I finally felt like visiting. The parking lot is gravel, or rather, unpaved, but when viewed from the national highway in front of the store, you can park 4 cars on the left and (probably) 2 cars on the right. When I arrived around 11:40, there were already two cars. When I opened the sliding door of the quaint building and stepped inside, I was greeted by a unique and cheerful voice saying, ``Welcome!'' This shop seems to be run by an elderly couple. The interior, which is as old as the exterior, has four four-person table seats and two four-person tatami seats. I sat at a table in the back and looked at the menu posted on the wall. I ordered ``Curry Ramen'' for 750 yen, my wife ordered ``Ramen for 500 yen,'' and ``Gyoza for 400 yen.'' There is a theory that curry ramen originated in Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, and there are still many restaurants serving curry ramen in the northern part of Chiba Prefecture. Minoriya is one of the restaurants that comes up when you search for "curry ramen." As I was observing the interior of the store, which had a Showa-era atmosphere with the sound of a TV playing, the two customers in front of me left right away, but after that, more customers came one after another and the place quickly filled up. Each of them seems to be a regular customer, and they chat with the shop's grandmother about things like ``My president is'' and ``My son is.'' It seems to be a popular restaurant loved by locals. After a while, ramen, curry ramen, and gyoza were brought out almost at the same time. The ramen is ``The Showa'' Chinese noodles with chicken soy sauce soup, menma, chashu, spinach, naruto, and green onions. Of course, the flavor has been added, but it still has a nostalgic and comforting taste. Curry ramen is simply curry added to this ramen soup. It's not a curry soup specifically made for ramen, but just a regular curry made with pork belly, onions, and carrots. It's simply delicious, but the lack of specialness is irresistible. The dumplings are also homemade and delicious. Many of the customers around me said ``ramen and fried rice,'' so I was also curious about the fried rice. By the way, while fried rice costs 500 yen, half-fried rice costs only 400 yen and 100 yen, so people who eat a lot don't seem to go out of their way to get half-fried rice. When I finished eating with a full stomach and paid the bill, a cheerful and bright voice said, "Thank you very much." As I left the store, another group of customers entered. The parking lot is full. It seems to be a very busy store. It was a store that made me wish it would stay healthy and open for a long time.

You will be greeted with a welcome. Are you a couple? A cute aunt will welcome you. Due to the coronavirus, it seems that they will not be seated together. We have a lot of customers. Please go early. This is because there is only one person in the kitchen. [Is it your husband? ] Nowadays, they say they offer 15 minutes, but it's so popular that you have to wait a long time. I visited on a weekday. In such a case, please take a good look at the posters and amulets on the walls of the store. I was convinced by the arrival of the guests that a time-honored amulet had been given as a gift! I guess there are a lot of fans. I love the cheerful voice of the landlady. The taste is somewhat nostalgic (lol) I may be presumptuous since I've only had ramen for a short time, but it's nostalgic. Please try this. If I go home with time to spare, my mother will catch me, right? With a good heart!
