Rai rai ken — Restaurant in Hida

If you're in Furukawa around lunchtime, there’s only one word you need to know: Garlic Fried Rice.

This cozy, old-school ramen shop serves a garlic fried rice (nin-niku chahan) that’s worth hunting down. It’s bold, savory, and wildly satisfying—exactly what you want after a cold walk or long train ride.
