Kozukata Jajamen — Restaurant in Morioka

As a Canadian visiting Japan, my wife and I were thrilled to discover Kozukata Jajamen!

The jajamen here is absolutely delicious, with rich, savory flavors that instantly made us glad we choose to come here. The noodles, tender pork, and the famous broth served after were all outstanding.

What really set the experience apart was the owner. Despite my Japanese being about as advanced as a two-year-old's, he patiently guided us through the ordering process and helped us customize our flavors. His warmth and friendliness made us feel right at home.

The shop itself has a cozy, vibrant atmosphere that kept us company while we waited and the service was quick. We felt an authentic touch in every detail, and it’s clear that this place is loved and well taken care of. I highly recommend to anyone craving a memorable and delicious meal!

What's not to love? Fantastic flavors, a welcoming owner, and an atmosphere that feels a bit like home. Kozukata...

The food was really good but have to give a special shoutout for the...

Nice jajamen. We had the cha shu and original versions. The cha shu is tender and the portions are just nice. We went also for the chee tan which is leave some noodles at the end, crack and egg and stir into the noodles. The server will then put hot soup/water over and it becomes a soup/gravy version noodles and different way of eating. The flavour is different too. There was a queue when we went around 1230. But the service took quite a while as they only had two staff. Though the restaurant is not fully seated and with queue outside, they don't seat everyone in. Took around 30 mins...
