Ramen restaurant • 6-chōme-7-2 Kamiya, Tsuru, Yamanashi 402-0053, Japan
Yamato, a long-established ramen restaurant in Tsuru City, exudes a deep-rooted local flavor. The storefront, which conveys a history of over 40 years, may present a slight hurdle for first-time visitors. With no parking lot, visitors may be forced to park on the street, and the small entrance and narrow interior may require some courage.
However, once you step inside, you will find the enduring presence of an elderly couple who have preserved the unchanging taste over the years. They may seem unfriendly, but this is an expression of their sincere attitude. You can savor the uncompromising depth in the transparent soup that the old man carefully prepares, and the finely chopped spicy green onions provide the perfect accent. The taste of the local Chinese cuisine has a slightly B-class feel, evoking nostalgia and a sense of longing. For first-timers, why not start by indulging in the recommended dish, the "Yamato Ramen"?
Don't overlook the other menu items. Whether it's the spicy mapo ramen with rice or the fluffy egg and fish sausage-flavored fried rice, they exude a B-class feel with genuine umami. The subtle consideration shown by the elderly couple is also a highlight of this restaurant.
The retro atmosphere that permeates the local area and the enduring sincere taste of Yamato can intoxicate one with the charm that resonates with nostalgia. Why not summon up the courage to pay a visit and indulge in it?
