I love Ramen I highly recommend "Niboshi-Ramen" by Nagataya in Nara!

 

Noukou-Niboshi-Cyuukasoba by Nagata-ya in Nara

Niboshi(small sardine) and Chicken flavor

Niboshi ramen soup is slightly white broth flavored with chicken and fish. I really like this soup because I can taste the rich fish flavor. The broth could a little fishy but I can recommend it to those who love fish. Niboshi and chicken-flavored ramen is gradually getting popular in Japan.

Toppings: Chashu, Menma, Negi, Onion, Seaweed

Please try it.

  • Chashu
    Fatty slices of roasted or braised pork. Chashu is a very common topping, and standard bowls of ramen usually come with one or two slices of it.

    Preserved bamboo shoots with a salty flavor

  • Negi
    Chopped or shredded leeks or green onions.

  • Tamago
    Hard boiled, soft boiled, raw and marinated eggs are all popular toppings on any type of ramen.

    Various types of seaweed such as wakame are commonly added to all types of ramen.

    Slices of steamed fish cake. One type of kamaboko that is commonly served on ramen is naruto, a sawtooth edged, white fish cake with a red or pink spiral design on it.




　　☆Trivia ☆

Have you ever had a Ramen? 
 
Ramen is a noodle soup dish that was originally imported from China and Japanese recreated to match Japanese taste buds, thereby being one of the most popular dishes in Japan. 

Ramen is inexpensive and widely available, two factors that also make them an ideal option for budget travelers. 

Ramen restaurants, or ramen-ya, can be found in virtually every corner of the country and produce countless regional variations of this common noodle dish.


I hope you’ll have a great time in Japan！

Why Japanese Izakaya Culture Is More Than Just Drinking After Work

  Izakaya and the Culture of Entertaining in Japan In Japan,  izakaya  — casual restaurants where people gather to eat and drink — are a common sight. But from an international perspective, izakaya are a unique blend of two worlds: in many Western countries, meals are typically enjoyed at restaurants, while alcohol is reserved for bars or pubs. The combination of food and drink in a single, laid-back setting is part of what makes izakaya culture so special. Izakaya menus are extensive, with dishes meant to be shared among groups.

Late-night hours are another defining feature, with many izakaya staying open until the early morning. It’s common to move from one place to another in a night...
