蕎麦うら山 名駅店 — Restaurant in Nagoya

和定食うら山 名駅店 (Wateishoku Urayama Meieki) @ Nagoya 🍱🍜🇯🇵 🗓️ Visited: 17 April, 9:30 – 10 PM

We arrived just before last order and were lucky to find this place still open—perfect for a late-night meal when most restaurants nearby had already closed.

Ordering and payment were done conveniently at a self-service kiosk booth near the entrance, which made the process quick and easy, even for non-Japanese speakers. 🎟️💳

It is my impression that Japanese people like to apologize profusely, even when they are not in the wrong. Apparently, you won’t expect that...

The first time my husband and I went we had the shio ramen, noodles were lovely and bouncy, soup was clear but yet full of umami. MUST ADD: the pepper powder as it gives the soup a different dimension and flavour.

We also shared karaage which was succulent! There was a mild fragrance of ginger and lemon which made the chicken so aromatic.

We enjoyed ourselves so much that we visited a...
