Menya Takechan

I had walked most of the way and was pretty hungry. I didn't have much to eat at home and was feeling pretty lazy anyway. There was a ramen shop right near Sakuragawa I had never tried before, so then was as good a time as any. Takechan advertised their gyokai tsukemen, so that's what I got.

歩いて帰る途中におなかがすいていました。家には食べ物はそんなになかったんですが、桜川の近くにある行ったことないラーメン屋さんがあったので行ってみようと思っていました。魚介系つけ麺が一番人気と言われたのでそれにしました。

The Bowl
To be honest I wasn't expecting a lot from this local joint, but what I got was good. The fishy broth was thin, but just thick enough to go with the thick, chewy noodles. There were big pieces of chashu waiting in the soup, and those were quite good.

正直に言うとこんなローカル的な店を見ると普通っぽいイメージがしますけど、つけ麺がおいしかったです。魚っぽいスープが薄めでしたけど太麺によく合わせました。スープにある大きいチャーシューもうまかったです。

Would I Go Again?
It's nearby, so maybe.

近いですからまた行くかもしれません。

Should You Go?
You don't need to trek all the way to Sakuragawa for this.

桜川まで来なくてもいいかな。
