Ramen restaurant • 260-8 Wano, Tanohata, Shimohei District, Iwate 028-8407, Japan
Located in a quiet residential area of Tanohata Village, 'Ramen Wind Wind' is a beloved retro Chinese restaurant that has been cherished by the locals for many years. It's hard to imagine from the outside, but stepping into the spacious interior, the nostalgic aroma of Chinese cuisine permeates the air.
Open the menu and you'll find familiar items like ramen, gyoza, and fried rice. However, the biggest charm of Wind Wind lies in its simple yet flavorful soup. The light-colored soup embodies the exquisite combination of sweetness and umami, unique to the coastal region of Iwate.
The chewy texture of the curly noodles, the robust bite of the char siu, the generous filling of the gyoza and shumai. Each of these items evokes memories of the nostalgic Showa-era Chinese restaurant and is carefully crafted. Despite the changing times, the taste of Wind Wind remains unchanged and has been loved by the local people for many years.
Although the evening operating hours are early, the dimly lit interior evokes the scenery of a Showa-era town. Tucked away in a narrow, long alley, it's a small, comforting space. Preserving its old-fashioned elegance while maintaining its unchanged flavor, 'Ramen Wind Wind' is truly a hidden gem of Iwate.
