I have always looked for places with "soul", where the chef has poured his ideas, character and being into every aspect of the restaurant as an expression of himself to the world, and I am glad to say Nakamura is a place that's full of the soul of its chef and we are so happy to be able to experience this physical manifestation of his interpretation of happiness in the form of food. Nakamura's soup base is clear and light, with four main ramen bases as the recommendations as the chef himself seasons the salts himself. Ordered the Nanban Shrimp and Tonkatsu soup bases, and both were warm hugs on a cold January evening. The Nanban Shrimp ramen was clear and light to the nose, but the moment you have a spoon of the soup you can tell the amount of shrimp that's been used to infuse that fragrant seafood flavour is legit. How can something that looks so clean and light be so packed with flavour? Next is the prawn ball. Its big, and just by looking at it you can tell its handmade; with its odd, irregular round shape. The ball itself is soft to the bite yet has a light bounce that gives a very fun texture when chewing on it. Overall, the light and flavourful soup complements the thin ramen noodles well and the prawn ball adds a fun twist. Tonkatsu soup bases are generally very rich in colour with deep brown colour for most but again, the soup was clear and looks very light on the flavour but wow. Another surprise, another knockout punch! Overall, the chef is very warm and welcoming, with a lot of thought put into his service and extends out to makes his customers feel welcome and attended to. Before entering, we could already hear the regulars laughing and having a blast and when a place has regulars that are so happy, you know the food and drinks must be on point. I really love the fact that this is a place that the chef takes pride in, and really gave a lot of thought to create something so amazing so the world may enjoy. If you are in Niigata, please drop by Nakamura and really have a sense of what's it like to be immersed in the love of a chef through his food. UMAI! Arigatogozamasu, gochizosama deshu da!

Travelled from Tokyo. This restaurant is close to ANA Crown Plaza. I had exceptional experience here. The Ramen is amazing, I finished without a drop of soup left. The owner is a great person and extremely friendly! I feel like home when I eat here, I will definitely come back again.

この界隈にはちょくちょく訪れるので、以前よりBMしていたお店です。過去に何度か訪問するも、web情報では営業中なのにやっていなかったりで、今回初訪問。 お店に入ろうかな、と思い扉の前に差し掛かった瞬間にお店から人が出てこられ、「ウチに御用ですか?」と聞かれました。 その時点で、この人、おかしくね?と言う印象を持ちました。ラーメン屋さんの戸を開けて入ろうとしているんだから御用が無い訳はないだろう!?と。 お店に入ったら、その方はどうやら店主っぽい感じです。 お店に入ってみれば、応対等は別に普通でした。 この日はメニューの一番上にあった「炙りあごだし」を頂きました。950円也。 で、ラーメン。凄く透明でキレイなスープにこれまた透明感のある少し縮れた細麵の組み合わせ。 具材は穂先メンマに刻んだ長ネギ。チャーシューは小ぶりながらも食感しっかりで美味しいものでした。 全般的には、こういう事を言うとバカ舌と言われるんでしょうけど、薄~い味付けのお湯に麺が入ったような印象でした。麺も小麦感とかを感じる事もなく…。チャーシューとかネギが美味しいので食べた感はありましたが…。 訪れた際、前客1組4名で、恐らくは常連客なんでしょう。 店主(と思わしく人)と雑談に花が咲いていました。 そこそこ狭くは無いお店にカウンター4席くらいに4人テーブル席一つ。普通なら、真ん中に2人テーブル2つくらいは置けるスペース。 その辺も拘りを感じます。 カウンターに張られたPOPには色々と能書きが書かれていましたが、所詮バカ舌の小生にはこのお店の良さは良くわかりませんでした。

ただラーメンを食べに行っただけなのですが、『アタマ大丈夫ですか?』『おまえの話し方が気に入らない』と侮蔑されたうえに人格否定されて、『帰れ』と怒鳴りつけられたので帰りました。

ラーメンはこのように人格を傷つけられても食べたいと思うほどでもないので、今後行くことはないと思います(向こうも来てほしくないでしょう)。

ただ、同じような思いをする方がいないように記録を残します

店に入ると店主さんが客の席に座って話してて『外で待っててください』

で、待ってる間も客との話は外まできこえてきてました。飲み会のときとかの話なのでしょうか。盛り上がってたようです。そのあいだに外でエアコンなく並んでる人たちも4人くらいになってた。

その後、お客が1人帰っても呼びに来ないで変わらず店主の客との話し声も聞こえてきたので、比較的静かになった今なら声かけてもいいかなと扉開けると。 1人なら入れるということで入れてもらいました。

ラーメン食べた時、替え玉お願いしたのだけど 初回無料とあったのだけど百円といわれて(あれ?なんか変わったのかな??)とおもって変わったんですか?、ってきいたら

今日は色々特別で外に書いてあるんだけど読んでないんですか?

というところから、色々怒られた

「え、あなたさっきから話通じないしいうこと聞かないけど(あたま)大丈夫ですか?」みたいに罵倒されはじめたので「そこまで言われることじゃなくないですか?」って言ったら、「その話し方が気に食わない」「あんたら何様なんだ。このみせの経営者なのか。それ食ったら帰ってくれていいよ」

みたいな流れで怒られました。

向こうの怒ってた話をきいてると、おそらく外で何人か並んでるのを報告されたことがそもそも嫌だったんでしょうね。加えて坊主憎けりゃ袈裟までにくいとのごとく、わたしの存在そのものが気に入らなかったのではないでしょうか。

表に書いてあったの読んでなかったので、そこは申し訳なかったのだけど、知らないこと質問して怒られたのは(私は)理不尽にも感じた。もちろんそのようなタイプの方は仲良くなると良い方なんだろうなとは、思うのだけど。

でも、疑問に思って質問したことがカチンときて過剰に侮蔑されたりするのはどうかと思うところはあります。もちろんお客様は神様で誰にでも愛想良くするべきとまではいいません。程度もあるでしょう。

初見の私とは相性が良くなかったのだろうと思います。ある程度の事実として(怒った側にも色々おもうところはあるのだと思いますので)記録のみ残しておきます。

ラーメンの味は美味しいとはおもうけど怒られた記憶で詳細は曖昧でしたので、ご自分で確認されると良いと思います。

わたしとしては人格を傷つけにくる方とは相性わるいので、ここでなければ食べられないほど美味いというわけでなければ人にはオススメいたしません。

(もちろん店主と仲良くて楽しく通えるなら良いのではないかと思いますが)

口コミ記載のとき「あなたを笑顔にしたい」という暖簾に気づいたときは、非常に秀逸なギャグですねと笑みがこぼれてしまいました。

ちなみに、人格を傷つけられましたが商品はたべたのでお金はもちろん払いました。不幸な気持ちになったので、行って後悔したとい...

Cosy ramen one-man-show restaurant which sits 9-10pax max. I had the tonkotsu respect ramen which was very good. I enjoyed the broth which was flavourful but not too salty. The chashu was delicious too. Owner chef was patient with us and even apologized before hand for any delay as we showed up as a party of 9pax. Despite the language differences, he used Google to communicate and had a friendly conversation with us....
