Kouraku

A town Chinese restaurant that still offers dishes with the same taste as the old days, but at a reasonable price.

A variety of customers visit the shop, from the elderly who want the taste of Showa to the younger generation who feel fresh and pass through the noren.

It is a long-established shop founded in 1963 that will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2023.

Ms. Mikiko Tashiro, the owner of the shop, inherited her husband's will even after he passed away eight years ago. She keeps it and offers a familiar taste to the locals.

This is a regular Chinese noodle topped with homemade char siu, bamboo shoots, nori seaweed, spinach, naruto, and chopped green onions.

The soup is a soy sauce flavored broth made with chicken bones, pork bones, dried sardines and kelp. The warm taste permeates your mind and body, making you feel at ease.

 

Speaking of Chinese food in town, along with ramen, fried rice is a dish that cannot be missed. Fried with char siu, green peas, naruto, green onions and eggs, and the colors are also appetizing.

The glossy rice is proof that it was covered with oil in the wok, and the slightly moist texture also makes you feel nostalgic.

There is also half fried rice (300 yen), so how about accompanying ramen?

A bottled cola refrigerator that is familiar to those who know. In addition to Coca-Cola (200 yen), there are also well-chilled bottled beers (small 400 yen, large 550 yen).

In addition to Chinese cuisine, there is also a full menu of set meals such as hamburgers and fried chicken. Among them Katsudon (700 yen) is especially popular with regular customers.

Please visit this heartful Chinese restaurant in a town that has become a precious existence now.

Kadono-Meshiya (Kadonomeshiya)

Did you know that Adachi Market, one of the kitchens that supply food in Tokyo, has several restaurants that open early in the morning for the people who work there?

At this restaurant, which celebrates the taste of nostalgia, you can enjoy ramen as well as fresh seafood dishes unique to the market.

It seems that there are many regular customers who want "Hachinohe Ramen" not only for those in the market but also for general customers.

With orthodox ingredients and thin curly noodles, it looks like an ordinary soy sauce ramen, but what is worth mentioning is the gentle taste of the soup that gradually spreads the richness. The Japanese taste that uses plenty of dried sardines makes you feel nostalgic.

If you want to enjoy luxury, we recommend the mini tempura set (1,400 yen) that you can choose from 3 types: tuna, negitoro, and tuna yukhoe.

The superior grilled salted mackerel set meal is a special set meal of the shop where you can taste the best salted mackerel from Yaizu.

The salted mackerel is desalted for a day and left to stand for another two days before being grilled. It brings out more umami flavor that is irresistible for fish lovers. Please try special taste for a limited number.

The owner, Hideyuki Shigeta, is from the boundary between Aomori and Iwate, south of Hachinohe City in Aomori Prefecture. His previous job was an auctioneer at a seafood market. The experience of working in the market, which requires discerning eyes and negotiating skills, is reflected in the quality and taste of the ingredients.

A bowl of ramen and a variety of seafood dishes are filled with the owner's love for the local area. Once you taste it, you should be able to convince yourself that it is a thriving shop.

Chinrai Kita-Senju shop

It is a group shop of famous shops in various parts of the Kanto region that boasts a history from before the war.

Mr. Norio Kayamoto, the owner of the Kita-Senju shop, is from Okinawa. From the age of 18, he trained under the president of the Sohonten Group's Chinrai Yatsuka shop, Mr. Tanaka, and became independent at the age of 26. It is said that 35 years have passed since the opening.

Although the shop is located in Gakuen-dori, a shopping street in front of Kita-Senju Station's east exit where it competes fiercely with rival shops, it is a long-established shop, and it can be seen that it continues to be loved by the locals.

The No. 1 popular item, the special miso char siu noodles, whose char siu that looks like a blooming flower catches your eye.

The soup, which uses the shop-made miso, mixes well with the medium-thick noodles, and goes perfect with char siu.

It's a lot of volume, but the perfect soup taste will make you eat more, so you'll be able to finish it in less time than you expect.

When you actually go to the shop, you can see how many customers are ordering it.

For those who want a light and salty taste, we recommend the Gomoku Ramen. The colorful ingredients are full of vegetables. The secret to the flavorful salty soup is the salt from Okinawa, where the owner is from.

"Homemade gyoza" is a popular takeout item at the shop. All gyoza fillings are prepared in the shop, so the skin is crispy, the inside is crunchy, and the gyoza is very juicy.

"Three pieces of gyoza (280 yen)" is also popular, responding to the request of "I want to eat just a little bit".

Mr. Tomohiro Tanji, a veteran shop manager who continues to provide reliable taste. Chinrai's group shop makes the most of the owner's uniqueness, and there are many items that can only be tasted here.

As the name suggests, the shopping street at the east exit is also a student town, so many students who have a hearty appetite visit here. The set meal menu is also substantial, and another helping of rice are free. There is also a service of one boiled egg per person every Sunday (limited to 100 to 150).

良心的な価格で地元に密着した店は、気軽に立ち寄れて、千住らしい親しみにあふれています。
