hachiju

So many ramen places in our area

There is one that always has a long line, but we’ve never eaten there.

Next door to that ramen shop used to be an oden shop but that closed up and now is an Onomichi ramen shop, Hachiju

It always seemed empty whenever we passed

The other day, we decided we were going to try, if it was bad, that was probably the reason it was empty

So we went and it was packed! and we were lucky to grab the last two seats (only 8 seats in total)

I ordered the Onomichi ramen…900 yen (tax included)

love the thin noodles! the broth was porky and the seabura (back fat) floating on top made the soup glisten, I just took 2 sips…rich!

Satoshi ordered the Onomichi ramen set…1050 yen (tax included)

The set came with rice and some Hiroshima-na pickles 

Hiroshima-na is similar to chinese cabbage

After paying, we received a point card and female eaters receive candy

I wouldn't mind coming back and adding an ajitama (seasoned egg) on my ramen next time.

We'll be back.
