Ginza Kagari (Narita Airport) — Restaurant in Narita

This is an outpost of Ginza Kagari. I haven’t had it at the main branches, so it’s hard to say if it’s as good or not. From what I understand, it opened about a month ago.

Food: I got the regular chicken paitan ramen. All the elements are at least decent to pretty good.

I visited the food court at the airport, and there were so many different restaurants to choose from. When I saw that this place had a Michelin recommendation, I knew I had to give it a try.

I ordered a bowl of chicken broth ramen. To be honest, it was pretty average — nothing too special. Of course, I’m sure there are much better ramen spots in Tokyo city. But still, being able to enjoy a decent bowl of ramen at the airport is already quite satisfying.
