Ramen restaurant • 104-1 Shimokawamatamachi, Utsunomiya, Tochigi 321-0972, Japan
Chicken Paitan Ramen Carol, quietly standing in Utsunomiya city, is a hidden spot where you can immerse yourself in Eikichi Yazawa's world. Stepping inside the store, you are wrapped in a mood as if you are participating in a live performance of Eikichi Yazawa.
The biggest selling point of this shop is, without a doubt, the exquisite chicken paitan ramen. The rich, flavorful broth is reminiscent of a potage soup. The fine noodles that balance well with this broth boast a straightforward manliness. With just one sip, you'll feel Yazawa's power infusing your body.
The chashu (roasted pork) is also exceptional. The harmony of the chewy texture and the sweet and spicy sauce is superb. Even the mayonnaise topping goes perfectly with it. One wonders how many trials and errors were needed to achieve this harmony.
The interior is also fashionably decorated, exuding a sense of refinement. The BGM features live footage, creating an extraordinary space enveloped by Yazawa. Sitting at the counter seats feels like participating in a live concert. Moreover, the prices are affordable, making it accessible to everyone.
The store doesn’t forget to contribute to the world. Part of the proceeds from the in-store vending machines is used to support education in Cambodia. Being a store infused with Yazawa's soul, it might be filled with a considerate heart towards people.
Recommended not only for ramen lovers and Yazawa fans but also for those who are not. This has become a renowned shop representing Utsunomiya. Why not get intoxicated by the taste and space woven by Yazawa at least once?
