Welcome to Yokohama Iekei Ramen

“ This restaurant is always bustling with traffic. It has temporarily returned to normal business hours after shortened hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but opening hours may change from time to time due to staff shortages. Please check. As I'm getting older, even the char siu noodles (¥920) have started to make me feel heavy. It's just the right size for me to share half with my family. They will also provide separate bowls if requested. The staff are generally very friendly. The thick noodles have a chewy texture, which made them a little difficult for our family, who usually eat children's ramen. The taste is still as delicious as ever. It might be a little salty. I added a seasoned egg (¥100) as a topping. ”

“ It's not exactly a family-style ramen shop, but the strong smell of pork bones permeates the air outside the restaurant, and the low salt content is unusually low for Aomori, so it's delicious and makes you want to eat a tonkotsu ramen! Personally, I think it's the northernmost ramen shop on Honshu. The name definitely does it a disservice. ”

“ I was invited by a coworker to try this ramen, and it was delicious. Aomori ramen in general is so strong-flavored, so it's been a while since I've had such a tasty ramen. The char siu was also excellent. Next time I go to Mutsu, I think I'll stop by here before heading out. ”

“ I came across this Iekei ramen shop on my way to Mount Osore. There aren't many restaurants nearby, so I popped in for lunch. Recently, Iekei ramen shops have been opening all over the city, but I don't have very good memories of them, as some are too salty. However, the ramen at this shop had a really good soup and perfectly cooked noodles. It says all-you-can-eat rice, but there's a sign inside saying that the all-you-can-eat option is no longer available. Does the fact that you can bring your own bento mean that many people eat ramen with their bento? ”

“ I had the Iekei Ramen (600 yen). Each seat had chili bean paste, garlic, ginger, pickled ginger, and vinegar, so you could customize the flavor to your liking. I didn't order it, but apparently you can have as much rice as you want (150 yen). ”

“ This is an iekei ramen restaurant on the outskirts of Mutsu City. The restaurant has three table seats and about ten counter seats. It's a little different from so-called "iekei ramen," but it has its own unique flavor and is addictive. However, perhaps to save money, there's only one chopstick or pepper condiment for every three seats, the sesame seeds that used to be there are no longer available, and the portions of noodles and soup have become smaller, which is a shame. In the summer, there's no air conditioning and there are lots of flies, so I wish they'd at least provide flypaper. It gives the impression of being extremely unsanitary. The prices have gone up over time, but this is a restaurant I always visit when I come to Aomori. ”

“ I don't know much about Iekei ramen, but It was pretty tasty. You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the thickness of the soup, and the amount of oil. You have to bring your own water and other items, but the restaurant isn't particularly large and the prices aren't high, so it's not a problem. Toppings on the table, such as sliced ​​green onions, garlic, and pickled ginger, are free. The staff are quiet, but not unfriendly, so they listen to your requests. ”

“ The only family-style ramen shop in Shimokita. An acquaintance recommended the green onion miso char siu. It was melt-in-your-mouth char siu. The white scallions weren't crunchy, but they were well-seasoned. The seasoning was surprisingly light, so I added lots of chili bean paste and garlic. You could also add as much pickled ginger, ginger, and green onions as you wanted. The regular serving seemed a little small for noodles. The noodles weren't great. ”
