What do you all enjoy for lunch in Minamichita? I guess there's a lot of seafood and BBQ you see along the coast.This time, we heard a rumor that there was a delicious ramen shop in Minamichita (they recommended it to us), so we went to the famous restaurant ``Tonpare'', which won second place in the tonkotsu category of the Ultimate Ramen 2024 Tokai edition. I went out.You can get to the location by navigating on Google Maps, but if you go south along the coast from the Utsumi to Sankai, you'll see a signboard for ``Tonpare'' on your left. After walking along a narrow community road for a while, I saw a bright red sign with the word ramen written on it, which made me feel a little relieved and excited at the same time♪The shop is an old folk house style house. A hidden gem? A hideout? It was built using part of a private house, and there was a large parking lot opposite the house. (There are no partitions in the parking lot, so I think it's a good idea to park from the corner in consideration of people coming after you.)As you can see in the photo, it feels like he's saying, "Excuse me, hello?" (lol).There was no sign of anyone talking, so I wandered around a bit as I headed toward the store, and found the general who had blended into the garden! (Laughs) It was a relaxing time. I arrived a little after opening time, so I felt like I was the first one in.but! ! ! As the rumors say, this popular restaurant's ability is amazing! ! !Cars and motorcycles were entering the parking lot one after another (when I was leaving, I saw that there were more of them with Nagoya license plates), and the atmosphere was like a community diner, where regulars were gathering one after another! The outdoor seating throughout the garden quickly became lively.As young kids visiting for the first time, we grabbed our own tea and waited for our ramen in the air-conditioned tatami room while looking at cool photos of the general when he was younger (lol). Even though it's hot, the outdoor seats seem to be the special seats for regulars.Now! Although it is simple, I would like to explain the ``Tonpare style''.① To order, write your name and the ramen you want to order on the name list. If it's a group, write the representative's name and product name, and draw a line at the end to distinguish it from others.②Payment is self-pay in advance. Deposit the payment in the payment box provided. You also have to pay your own change.③Seats are available outdoors and indoors. Wait anywhere you like or at an empty seat. When the ramen is ready, the owner will call your name and bring you the ramen using a rice bowl.④ Clean up yourself. (I clean the table, say ``Thank you for the meal!'' and leave.)When I first came here, I was a little confused (lol), but the friendly general and the comfortable trusting relationship made me feel at ease!Just by watching and listening to the conversations with the regulars, you can tell that they are loved, and it makes you think, ``This is how people used to interact with each other.'' It's a friendly shop in a good way! The authentic pork bone ramen is super delicious and has the atmosphere of being eaten at a relative's house. It's amazing ♡♡♡I ordered ``ramen'' and my husband ordered ``chilled ramen.''[Ramen (¥600)]I haven't been surprised since I came here (lol), but I was also surprised by the prices! ! ! And the taste!The richness of the soup was so delicious that it tasted delicious for the first time.I'm sure Hakata ramen has a light taste, and it's strong! It's rich and has a strong bone marrow smell! The tonkotsu ramen was completely different from any other tonkotsu ramen I've had before, with a fairly high concentration of tonkotsu bones and a wild texture of bone powder. I wonder if this is the secret to creating the rich soup of Kurume ramen called Tsujiashi?It had a rich taste that wasn't salty, and to put it simply, it was an addictive taste.[Chilled ramen (¥700)]The thin noodles shimmer in cold water and have a smooth texture that goes down easily and is delicious!It was also nice to be able to compare it with regular ramen.However, to be honest, I felt it was a bit of a waste.When I added red pickled ginger from the table, the flavor became more vivid and delicious, but I felt that the unique and strong taste of the soup was halved because it was cold.If you want to eat something refreshing, or if you like something refreshing, we recommend eating it chilled ♡I'm really glad I got to know about it and visited, so if you come to Minamichita, I recommend the rare Kurume ramen for lunch.We also have more fun on our annual trip to Chita. If it's not summer, you can comfortably eat in the courtyard, but if it's hot or cold, you can eat indoors!(Thank you, General, for cooking in the hot weather. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal! I will definitely stop by again.)Nearby is the Arakuma Shrine, which has an eye-catching red torii gate leading up to the top of the mountain that we saw when we were running along the coast. It seems that the shrine has the best view overlooking the ocean, but on top of the heat, just looking at it from the train window...I passed! (Laughs) When I saw those stairs, I saw Hiyori Mashita.It seems that there is also a god of matchmaking, so if you are interested, try going out with ramen. Good luck to everyone!【summary】●Business hours are daytime only.
