Machidashoten Odawara — Restaurant in Odawara

It was surprisingly one of my favourite ramen joints of my Japan trip. The restaurant has low ratings however we noticed that the joint was relatively busy so we gave it a try.

We ordered the miso garlic ramen and it was delicious. The noodles were fresh and chewy, the broth was a rice thicker broth which clung into the noodles with every slurp. The veggies was a treat with the ramen given that we felt we had little veggies the entire trip. Try ordering rice to throw into the broth after you finish your ramen, it was delicious and a great experience. Be prepared to come here hungry...

After walking all over the Odawa Station area checking out the shops, we decided to try this "no ramen no life" shop.

This is the first time we met a staff in a Japanese outlet who can convers well in English with us. Oh, she is from the Philippines but most importantly, she is very polite, friendly and helpful and told us that we can ask for less saltiness,

Anyone visiting Odawa should try this ramen shop.

Like all other food chain outlets, purchases are through a machine, ie, put in money first, then select the food and pass the coupon...

The food was good and the meal servings were plentiful. We ordered a side of gyoza with our ramen.

The service was very quick and the prices were reasonable. We also got a free side of Gohan after finishing the noodles.

I would recommend the tonkotsu ramen with it's thick broth and delicious noodles.

We left here extremely full and I would definitely visit this...
