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.

    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！

What Is Bushido? The Soul of the Samurai Explained

  W hat comes to mind when you hear the word “ samurai ”? A brave swordsman in armor? A stoic warrior who lives and dies by honor? While popular culture often focuses on the sword-fighting aspect of samurai, the truth behind their origin, lifestyle, and beliefs is far deeper — and more fascinating. Let’s take a closer look at how samurai came to be, what Bushido really means, and what everyday life was like for these iconic Japanese warriors. H ow Were the Samurai Born? The samurai originated during Japan’s Heian period (794–1185), when aristocrats hired armed guards to protect their estates.

Why Japan’s Island Geography Shaped Its Culture and History

  When we think of Japan , images of sushi, anime, and cherry blossoms often come to mind. But beneath the modern pop culture lies something much deeper: the influence of geography. Japan is an island nation, and being surrounded by the sea has shaped its history, trade, conflicts, and even the way Japanese people interact with one another. Let’s take a closer look at how living on an island made Japan what it is today. The Advantage of Being an Island Unlike continental nations, Japan is separated by the sea, which naturally served as both a shield and a barrier. While land-based countries had to constantly defend porous borders, Japan only had to monitor the sea routes.   On the other hand, launching attacks overseas was costly and risky. Armies required ships, supplies, and manpower. This is why, before the Meiji era , Japan fought only three major international wars: The Battle of Baekgang (663) The Mongol Invasions (1274–1281) Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s Korean campaigns (1592–1...
