A dining experience in a traditional ramen shop

Journey through the flow of time invited by the long-established ramen shop in front of the station

Houroken, a long-established ramen shop in front of the small station in Ebetsu-cho, Saga Prefecture. The atmosphere of this shop seems to have stopped in time. As you step inside the store, you can hear the sound of train departure bells and be surrounded by a retro atmosphere.

Taste the exquisite ramen loved since old times

The ramen soup at "Houroken" has a rich umami flavor and at the same time, an elegant taste. The roasted pork char siu is rich in saltiness and serves as an accent. The handmade dumplings made by the couple are also delicious with a generous volume.

An at-home atmosphere with the lingering comfort of the Showa era

The charm of this shop lies not only in the nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa era as if time had stopped. The couple who are the owners of the shop have been loved by the local community for a long time. Their warm hospitality creates a comfortable atmosphere. It's unique to this shop to be able to hear their episodes related to the history of Ebetsu-cho, with a touch of humor. You should be able to feel a timeless sense of peace in the leisurely flowing interior.

Fast delivery! It has a nostalgic and gentle taste of Champon. The ramen also tastes good. Gyoza has a lot of volume!

まさ

A ramen shop in front of the station that has been around for a long time. This is a ramen shop that has been around since before I was born. When I go out to eat, I always have ramen, rice, or gyoza. Handmade gyoza is the best. When I was in middle school, I used to go out to eat ramen, rice, and gyoza with the pocket money my parents gave me. The taste remains the same even after decades. The Champon, Yakisoba, Yakimeshi, and Miso Ramen on the menu are also delicious. Thank you, uncle and aunt. It's delicious.

faithful history

I had the ramen. The soup feels thin, but once you start drinking it, you can feel the slight flavor. On the other hand, the chashu had a strong salty taste. I used to have it delivered, but this time I visited the restaurant for the first time. The atmosphere is traditional, and the location is right in front of the station, so it may be a rare experience to eat while listening to the sound of the train arrival and departure bells. Isn't this a shop where you can feel the history of Kohoku Town and Kohoku (formerly Hizen Yamaguchi) Station?

Name no

Used when waiting for a train Order champon The Champon that came out was piled high with hot stir-fried cabbage sprouts. Cooked just right, the pork wasn't too tough and the soup had an exquisite taste. Very satisfied as a Chinese restaurant in town, no complaints.

It is run by a husband and wife team. We recommend the miso ramen. This is a good old ramen shop from the Showa era.
