Fukuro Yagoto — Restaurant in Nagoya

The older gentleman who cooks needs to stop using his bare hands. I witnessed he dealt with money, then right after went to cook, touched the raw meat with his unwashed hands, touched the pickled bamboo with his unwashed hands, put the green onions in the bowl with the same unwashed hands, even wiped his hands on his apron etc. Who knows if the apron is even washed or how many times raw meat stains on his hands were wiped on the apron. Japanese people aren’t noisy in general, they would sit and absolutely not observe anything because it may seem rude or they just expect better. But I am not Japanese, I like observing, especially if it’s an open kitchen. I felt bad to leave tbh because the service was good. So I ate the noodles only. The taste was decent. But those unsanitary actions really made me uncomfortable....

Quick, no frills ramen and mazesoba joint that is incredibly convenient to Yagoto station.

Customizable spiciness levels (pictured is the karamiso mazesoba at level 4, which has a nice kick to it, but is still tame if you’re accustomed to spicy foods) and topping choices make for a good range of options, and the price was reasonable.

Flavors were good! An enjoyable meal and authentic atmosphere worthy of a stop if you’re in the area.
