Introducing ramen recommended by locals (part 2)

When you visit Kesennuma as a tourist, you're likely to think, "The first meal is seafood!", but after a series of fish dishes, you'll want to try something completely different. The same goes for the locals of Kesennuma, who, after a series of fish dishes at home, will start to feel like, "Oh, I want to eat something other than fish!"

At times like these, you may want to eat ramen, right? There are many ramen restaurants in Kesennuma. In this section, we would like to introduce some of the "ramen recommended by locals."

Ramen Flame

▲ Miso ramen (spicy)

Ramen Homura's recommended dish is the miso ramen, which has been passed down from its predecessor and further evolved. The soup is fragrant with plenty of sesame seeds, and is characterized by its crunchy vegetables and light aftertaste. The soup is spicy, but you can adjust the spiciness if you ask when ordering.

▲Fried rice

The fried rice, with its fluffy egg and mild flavor, goes perfectly with the ramen soup.
The restaurant has a counter, tables, and raised seating, making it an easy place to come whether you're alone or with your family.

"Shina Soba" is a hidden popular menu item, based on a Japanese-style dashi soup typical of udon restaurants. The soup is full of the umami of seafood such as bonito and kelp, and has a slightly sweet and gentle taste. It is a taste that is loved by people of all ages, from children to the elderly.
