Mito, Ibaraki, Japan｜担々麺 QUATRE ÉPICE

It's a very small shop with only 3 parking spaces and 5 seats at the counter, but the chef is a master of French chef style, and the restaurant has a quaint atmosphere that makes you hard to believe that it's a ramen shop. . There are only two types: dandan noodles without soup for 950 yen and 4 types of cheese dandan noodles for 1,150 yen. Today's 50 yen meal was chili oil rice. Green onion rice (150 yen) was delicious. The soupless tandan noodles are just the right amount of spiciness and come with a hot spring egg. The ramen was a bit like eating pasta at a French restaurant, but it was very delicious. The customer next to me ordered the four types of cheese, which was mostly cream pasta with lots of cheese and looked delicious.

■ 2023/01 visit "QUATRE EPICE" seems to be read as Quatre Epic in French. It's a French mixed spice, similar to Japanese shichimi. I see, i see. Visited for opening on Sunday. There are 3 parking spaces in front of the store. It's a bit narrow, so a big car might be tough. There are only 5 seats at the counter. The inside of the store is simple but stylish, and I think it's easy for women to enter. Today we have ``Soupless Dandan noodles'' (950 yen), ``Four kinds of cheese dandan noodles'' (1150 yen), ``Beef streak curry rice'' (150 yen), ``Daikon chili oil rice'' (50 yen) and ``Pound cake'' (150 yen). yen). I'm glad that the side menu is super cheap. All were very delicious. The dandan noodles are just the right amount of spiciness, and you can adjust the spiciness to your liking (spicy 50 yen, very spicy 100 yen). Basically, Dandan noodles + rice + dessert. The dessert is also very delicious, so it's worth eating for the last palate. The curry is also spicy and delicious, so if you have room in your stomach or can share, go for it. Can you say that it is a fusion of Chinese and Western food? It was a very interesting store. I will bother you again!

It's a rare store in a sense, as it's only open for two hours during lunch. I ordered the famous "Four Kinds of Cheese Dandan Noodles (Clatro Formaggi)". By the way, all other customers' orders were also like this. The spiciness of the tandan noodles combined with the cheese is... delicious! ! Furthermore, add green onion rice to the leftover cheese to make it risotto style. There's no way this would taste bad, right? The timing may be difficult for this store, but this one is sure to be a repeat customer. The store capacity is small, and the parking lot is a little small and may be a little difficult to find. Although it is a one-off operation run by the owner, he is very efficient and the turnover is quick.
