Insider Tip:Manage your expectations – this is a humble, homey spot, not a high-end restaurant. Prices are reasonable, and the quality is exceptional. Come for the food, stay...

First off, I need to preface this review by stating that I don’t ever write these. I felt it was only right to do for these people since it was such a great experience.

The husband cooks and the wife serves the food and drinks. The ramen was not like any other I’ve had while in Japan. The taste was subtle yet so delicious and is truly the most authentic ramen I’ve ever had. The basic ramen had pork, bamboo shoots, green and white onions, narutomaki, and seaweed. Also, the fried rice was extremely delicious as well.

If your native language is English, the menu can be a little confusing. I suggest you just order the ramen and fried rice combination - this is all you need. I got a draft beer with my meal and the total came out to be only 1,200 JPY! The draft beer was half the receipt.

Do not hesitate to go here if you want good food at an extremely affordable price, great hosts, and an authentic Japanese meal. Couldn’t ask for a better experience and wish I would’ve found Tsuwano...

I still dream about this ramen! I got the soy sauce ramen and my boyfriend got the salted butter ramen. Both were jammed packed with flavor and had a good balance of richness and salty. The rice combo was the perfect amount of food and great for those who are very hungry! (which I was.) The atmosphere was very cozy and felt like home, maybe because it’s in their home haha. They didn’t speak English but they had two pages in their menu that’s English. Also, thanks to google translate it was easy to communicate if we needed anything extra. While we ate, they sat at the table next to our and we watched sumo wrestling. Honestly was one of my favorite places during my trip. I highly recommend to anyone looking for amazingly...
