Chikusei, Ibaraki, Japan｜桜井食堂

Great ramen shop, super tasty! This place is popular so expect a wait, however it’s well worth it!

Ramen 700 yen + chicken skin (boiled offal) topping 150 yen, total 850 yen including tax. *As of August 2023. There are also many orders for wonton men. It is said to be the originator of Shimodate ramen. Chicken skin, the so-called 'motsu-ni', has a strong and strong taste, and the light soy sauce soup has just the right amount of strength, making it an addictive taste. It is crowded during the daytime, and the store that can accommodate 15 people fills up from around 11:00. The food comes out fast, so the turnover is fast. I was soothed by the pleasant customer service of the clerk's aunt. Before entering the store, take a number tag and wait outside to be called. The format where the capacity comes to pick up the order. Payment is cash only. The parking lot is easy to park because there is a space that can be parked by the courtesy of the neighboring Ibaraki Bank. [Smokers] An ashtray is installed under the eaves outside the store, and smoking is allowed only under the storefront eaves.

I arrived at the store at 11:40. Although there were about 6 people waiting, I decided to wait because I really wanted to eat. It took about 30 minutes to enter the store, but if it's delicious, it can't be helped. For an additional 100 yen, you can get a lot of chicken skin. The soup has a refreshing soy sauce flavor and is easy to drink. Char siu is surprised to have pork and chicken char siu. The chicken char siu is also delicious. Needless to say, the chicken skin topping that most customers order is exquisite. The taste seems to go well with sake. I'm so full that I'm glad I ordered a normal serving. It's been a good lunch.
