HISHIO Ramen — Restaurant in Tonosho

I love this ramen! I first tried it in Kurashiki years ago, and I knew I had to try at the original shop, finally I could! So, the soup: Shodoshima is famous for its soy sauce, so of course that is included (Yama-Roku soy sauce). The stock is made from a variety of local fish, such as dried iwashi, and locally produced veggies. Although being fish based, it’s pretty thick & creamy, but not too heavy. The noodles are good, the pork is delicious! What I really think makes this ramen great though, is the locally produced dried nori seaweed. It really adds something special to the ramen. I recommend getting extra! I ordered an extra serve of noodles (free!!!), and as you can see from the photograph, it comes topped with pork, green onions & seaweed... It’s a meal in its self! Sorry, I’ve written too much! I guess you can tell, I really like this ramen! (Next time I’ll try the spicy one!) (Oh, and another thing that blew me away is that it’s right by the sea, AND, we can sit outside & enjoy our ramen....

food is ok. Outside table is also ok but lots of mosquitoes. But I don’t know whether they treated us differently because we are foreign tourists. A Japanese couple arrived ten minutes after us got their food ten minutes before us. We had only ten minutes to eat to catch the ferry back to Takamatsu. And when we pay the bill, the cashier, a guy, messed up our total five times. We had to pay 1000 yen more if I didn’t check once and once again. Anyways, the food is acceptable if you are on the island starving. But do be cautious especially with your bill and pay in cash if you are...

Popular ramen place at great place with lovely terrace which has the view of the Angel Road.

Ramen was very tasty too, it wasn’t too thick but good. If you are a big eater, this place fill feed you well with free “kaedama” extra noodles as much as you want.

It was crowded on the weekend of March during lunch time but there were some free seats that we didn’t have to...
