Ramen restaurant • 2-chōme-25-3 Miyajiri, Ise, Mie 516-0072, Japan
Ise City, which flourished as a town in front of Ise Shrine. Yoshikaze, a ramen specialty shop located in the center of the city, is a hidden gem that stands in the old-fashioned townscape. It is located just a short walk from JR Ise City Station, yet its modest sign makes it seem easy to overlook. However, once you step inside, you will find yourself in an exquisite taste space enveloped in the rich aroma of chicken and pork bone soup.
The owner, Mr. Yoshida, is dedicated to making ramen. He extracts the umami flavor firmly from the chicken bones and pork bones, and has carefully balanced the salt content and ingredients to create an exquisite bowl. At the moment when your face is covered by the hot liquid, you cannot help but be intoxicated by the overwhelming impact of the taste that grips your throat.
The noodles are the store's dedicated medium-thick straight noodles. The chewy texture and strong firmness of the noodles intertwine well with the thick soup. The simple yet memorable characteristics of the noodles have become the unique charm of Yoshikaze ramen.
On the other hand, various types of ramen are also served, including chicken white broth ramen and soy sauce ramen. Each one is incredibly delicious, but the classic chicken and pork bone soup reigns supreme. Once you taste it, you will be captivated by its rich and deep flavor.
