Zhǎng Lài Wū - 二戸市

I had some business in Ninohe City and had been curious about this restaurant for a while, so I decided to stop by. It was well past lunchtime, but it was packed with customers due to the holiday. It had a local family restaurant vibe. I ordered the "Nagaseya Tanmen" and "Fried Rice," while my wife ordered the "Ebi Fry Set." I was surprised at how quickly the food was served. The Tanmen had a generous portion and a gentle flavor, so I finished it quickly, almost as fast as the food was served. The Fried Rice was a little bit salty, but still delicious. The best part was the great service and pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant. Next time, I want to try the curry.

This restaurant is rumored to be originally a Western food specialty shop, but there are also rumors of it being a miso shop! What is the truth? Personally, when it gets colder, I really crave miso chashu ramen.
