KIZUNA on ramen shop network - Ichiren

Hakata Menya (Ramen shop) - Ichiren

I visited this ramen restaurant by introduction from Tokyo Stamp for the first time. Actually my first ramen in Kumamoto in my life :) According to the owner of Tokyo Stamp, this restaurant offers a kind of Hakata ramen not Kumanoto ramen, but someone feels more tasty than real Hakata ramen. That's why I visited here.  

As I forgot to remove the label for volunteering on my right hand, as soon as I entered this restaurant, she told me "You must be a volunteer person, right?". To be honest, I liked to visit here without notifying that, but it was my fault :(

I could talk with her about Kumamoto and the earthquake, whatever. Needless to say, she seemed to feel fear at that time because she haven't expected to have such huge earthquake in Kumamoto. Also she said she was really shocked to see the collapse of Kumamoto castle because she had ever worked there for some years.

I ordered the most popular menu, Hakata ramen and Chicken fry (Kara-age in Japanese) based on the recommendation by owner. Definitely the taste was really good! and also Kara-age was really nice for me.

Besides you should know if you get this bowl the logo of this restaurant printed on it, you are LUCKY :) because most of the bowls were broken at the huge earthquake. But she said though ramen shop network in Kyushu, she got lots of bowls from other ramen shop with their logo printed on.

Apr 27, 2016 in Kumamoto

It is rainy day. I brought a rain coat protected by GORE-TEX and a long rain boots so this is not issue.

I believe the worst thing for me is not the weather but this Blogger app for Android. When I try to attach any pictures in my post, every time the app has stopped and prevented me from removing the picture from my post. Maybe this is my mobile specific issue but I reported this issue to Google for now.
