Shisen Ramen

I happened to be in Daito city for a non-ramen related event when I got hungry. My friend and I ended up happening upon this random little ramen joint called Shisen Ramen, or Sichuan Ramen. They were having a 300 yen sale on their assari shisen ramen, so that's what I ordered.

たまたま大東市にいて、おなかが空いてきました。友達としせんらーめんという店を見かけて、行ってみました。あっさり四川ラーメンが300円セールがあったので、それにしました。

The Bowl
Little shops like this don't disappoint. The broth was clear and oily; kind of a mixture of tomato and ra-yu, an interesting taking on Sichuan style ramen. The noodles were thin and long, vaguely reminiscent of spaghetti. I wasn't expecting this kind of bowl from a Sichuan ramen shop, but it worked out.

こんなちっちゃい店は面白いですね。スープは透き通って、ラー油とトマトのミックスの感じがしました。麺が細くてスパゲッティみたいに長かったです。「四川ラーメン」といえば、こんなラーメンと思いつきませんけど、美味しかったです。

Would I Go Again?
It was fine, but it's far.

うまかったですけど、遠いです。

Should You Go?
Anyone who lives around there can check it out for lunch.

その辺に住んでいる人にいいランチスポットです。

  1. These "little" shops are often some of the best, especially since the shop owner has to work harder to keep the shop in business! As such, they tend to be surprisingly good though few people know about them (even if you're fluent in Japanese!).

    1. Yeah I am usually admittedly too snooty to seek them out, but I'm happy whenever I end up at one.
