Ramen restaurant • Japan, 〒759-6602 Yamaguchi, Shimonoseki, Kamono, ８０５−７
'Yamanoda Ramen' quietly stands in a residential area slightly away from the center of Shimonoseki City. This long-established ramen shop, with over 70 years of history in this area, is beloved by many local customers. Let me introduce the taste and atmosphere of the shop.
The taste of Yamanoda Ramen is characterized by the soy sauce pork bone broth soup typical of Yamaguchi Prefecture. The rich pork bone soup combined with high-quality soy sauce from Yamaguchi Prefecture spreads a mellow umami flavor. The color of the soup is a slightly ashy deep shade, highlighting the masculine taste.
The noodles are medium-thick straight noodles, offering a chewy texture. It's also a plus that you can adjust the firmness to your preference. The thickly sliced char siu topping and the perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg complement each other perfectly.
The charm of this shop lies not only in the taste but also in the lively atmosphere. At lunchtime, it fills up with local regular customers. Inside the shop, the staff and customers shout their orders, creating a bustling, lively ambiance.
At first glance, it may seem chaotic, but the staff calmly responds to the customers' orders with ease. The agility that comes from years of experience, including the master, shines through.
While retaining the old-fashioned appearance, the interior has been renewed to create a clean, refreshing space. Dining at the counter seats is recommended, as you can observe the cooking process up close.
With the ambiance that exudes a 70-year history, the friendly demeanor of the staff and master, and above all, a bowl filled with the flavors of Yamaguchi, you can fully experience the virtues of a long-established local ramen shop rooted in the community.
