NO RAMEN. NO LIFE.

デイビッド講師はラーメンが大好きなのです！

One of the main reasons I came to Japan was to try as much food as possible. There are so many choices of food here in Japan. My favorite type of food is soup, so I usually like to eat udon, somen, soba, or…

私が日本に来た一番の理由は、たくさんの日本食にチャレンジしたいからです！好きな食べ物はスープ系なので、うどん、そうめん、そば・・・などいつも食べています。

Of all the foods that are available in Japan, I think the most delicious and easily available is ramen. Ramen is a quick and relatively inexpensive way to eat a very delicious meal. I often eat ramen at least once a week, but occasionally three times a week.

In this article, I will list my “Top 3” Ramen choices in Shunan City. I will rank them in ascending order, from three to one. I realize there are many choices and other people’s choice will be different. These are my personal choices for the best ramen in Shunan.

周南で個人的にトップ３だと思うラーメン屋さんを紹介します！

Number 3: Tori-No-Suke “Tori Paitan”
第3位　とりの助　

I chose Tori-No-Suke as my number three because it is simple and delicious. Most ramen shops in Shunan serve Tonkotsu ramen, but Tori-No-Suke serves something different. The roasted pork at Tori-No-Suke is very soft and full of flavor, but the real star here is the broth, which is made from chicken. The broth is creamy, like Tonkotsu, but does not have a strange smell, and tastes lighter.

とりの助　のラーメンはシンプルでおいしいです。周南のラーメンはほとんどが豚骨ですが、ここのラーメンは違うんです。・・・

Number 2: Yasushiboy “Shoyu-Tonkotsu”

第2位　ヤスシボーイ　

I chose Yasushiboy because it is a very, very delicious soup. The shop is located in Kume and does not look special, but the ramen here is amazing! The double soup gives it an extra savory flavor and the noodles are also unique because they are flat. I also really like the free bowl of rice at Yasushiboy. The price here is also very good.

とってもおいしいスープが決め手です！久米にあり、見た目は普通のラーメン屋さんなんですが、素晴らしいです！・・・

Number 1: Kaoru “Tori Soba”

第1位　カヲル

I chose Kaoru as my number one choice because it is the best ramen I have eaten in Japan (so far). The soup is unique because it is chicken base, but it is not heavy, like Tori-No-Suke. It is available in either a salt base or soy sauce base. The broth tastes like pure chicken flavor and is very clear. After you finish your meal, you do not feel tired like other ramen shops. Another great point is that the chef uses ingredients from Yamaguchi Prefecture, so everything is fresh.

今まで日本で食べたラーメンで1番です！スープが独特で、鶏ベースなのですが、重くないのです。塩ベースや醤油ベースも選べるんです！・・・
