Ramen restaurant • Japan, 〒213-0001 Kanagawa, Kawasaki, Takatsu Ward, Mizonokuchi, 2-chōme−3−７ サウスウィング １F
Just a short extension from Tokyo, there is a restaurant where you can encounter the authentic taste of Wakayama ramen. That place is the "Matchibou Mizoguchi Shop". In this hidden gem of a restaurant, you can enjoy the addictive rich pork bone soup and the exquisite harmony of thin noodles.
Only 30 seconds from Mizoguchi Station, with convenient access. As you step inside the shop, you will be greeted by a unique aroma of the pungent pork bone soup. The narrow interior, with only counter seats, feels like you've actually stepped into an authentic ramen shop in Wakayama.
What catches your eye on the menu is the "Chuka Soba" (850 yen). It offers the unique taste of Wakayama, with the rich pork bone soup perfectly matched with the savory bitterness of burnt soy sauce. The addictive soup, entwined with straight thin noodles, has a tendency to make you slurp it unconsciously.
Various condiments like garlic and red pickled ginger are available on the table. Adding them to your ramen allows you to enjoy various flavors. This is a popular spot even among the locals, often visited for a drink to finish the night.
Of course, it's recommended to visit even during lunchtime after a drink. On Saturdays, there's a special offer where rice is served for free with the ramen. The price is reasonable, but the taste is authentic at "Matchibou", allowing you to thoroughly enjoy the charm of Wakayama ramen.
