It is summer here in Japan but it has been raining for a week. That is why the weather is kinda good. Not so hot, not so cold especially at night. Today, I went out with my son to eat ramen for lunch. Ramen is a japanese word but I believe everyone is familiar with it.
The first time I ate at Arashi Ramen was at 白楽駅 (Hakuraku Station), two stations away from the nearest station in my place. But today, we ate at 大倉山駅 (Ookurayama Station), one station away. I am not sure how many branch they have but I believe they are kind of famous.
I wasn't able to take a picture of the store so I had to google it.
Most ramen stores have 券売機 (kenbaiki, which means ticket machine). First, of course, you have to insert money. Tticket machines usually accepts 1,000 yen only so be sure you have 1,000 yen bill or coins. But if you really don't have it, you can always ask the staff to change your 5,000 or 10,000 bill. Next, choose the ramen you want to eat, there are also options for side dishes and toppings like gyoza, eggs and onions. And hey, don't ever forget your change. Just press the おつり button. Get your change together with the tickets and hand it over to the staff. And speaking of tickets, I forgot to take a picture of it as well, haha!
The table.
What I like with this store is that they have lots of condiments. Soy sauce, vinegars, spices and other stuff which I don't know hehe. There's also tissue and a pitcher of water.
The Food.
I forgot the name of the ramen (820 yen) I ordered, haha. Anyway, I also ordered a plate of gyoza (5 pieces for 300 yen).
The ramen was great! The included toppings are nori (seaweed), half egg, chashuu (meat), onions and menma.
One of the best ramen I've eaten here so far. Just one thing I don't like is that, for me, i'ts too oily. That is why everytime I eat at this store, I make sure I also order a bottle of cola (100 yen). Gyoza was good as well, hmmm it was yasai (vegetable) gyoza, i guess.
Overall, the place is nice and clean, the food was great but a little pricey and the staffs are great. You should try eating at Arashi Ramen if you come visit Japan and tell us what you think about it.
