Yokkaichi, Mie, Japan｜Chuka Soba Ranman

Excellent quality ramen, especially the charsiu (roast pork slices on top). I rarely get “shio/salt” ramen but I opted for it here and it was worth get. Get the side “ochazuke” for ¥200 to use the rest of the soup!

One of the best ramen places in this area, but it's difficult to know when it's actually open--tried to go there within the advertised opening hours for a few weeks, but it was closed. But I have seen it open when passing recently. The pork here is tremendous: thick, and soft. Really makes the ramen, in my estimation.

I visited in the middle of Obon. This shop has a parking lot for 3 cars in front of the store, and there is a shared parking lot next to the tenant. On this day, I arrived at 11:20 and was seated immediately without waiting, but immediately after that, customers came one after another and the place was full! Also, there were 5.6 people waiting outside and the inside waiting was full. I was lucky to be able to come to the store at the right time ♪ On this day, I ordered collagen chilled soba for a limited time and only on Sundays, limited to 20 meals a day! The soup is plump, cold, and slightly sour. To change the flavor, add wasabi and pickled ginger. The wasabi melts into the dish, giving it a refreshing feeling. The thickly-sliced ​​char siu was a stable deliciousness ♪ This time's limited edition was also delicious, but I definitely recommend Ranman's soy sauce for Chinese noodles ♪
