A Reward for a Business Trip Night! Visiting the Banshu-Exclusive 'Ramen Hakkaku'. My Heart and Stomach are Warm Thanks to Their Homemade Flavors!

The other day, I went on a rare business trip to the Banshu area.

I checked into my hotel, but unfortunately, it was freezing cold outside...
Lacking the courage to head out and wonder 'What should I eat?' (lol), I dashed into 'Ramen Hakkaku', which was just a short drive away!

A taste unique to Banshu! A shop packed with dedication
'Hakkaku' is a chain restaurant found only in the Banshu region.
Even though it's a chain, everything they serve is homemade.
With the sense of comfort and anticipation that only comes from homemade food, I felt excited the moment I walked in!

I was hungry, so I went for a luxurious meal by adding 'gyoza' to the 'fried chicken set meal'.

Since it was a style where I could choose to my liking, I customized it like this!

• Ramen: Rich (Choose from light, semi-rich, rich, or extra-rich)

• Fried Chicken: Fluffy (Choose from crispy or fluffy)

Rich yet unstoppable! A blissful bowl

The ramen that was brought to me was topped with plenty of green onions and smelled amazing!

The soup was a rich broth with a slightly sweet touch.
But it wasn't heavy at all! I couldn't stop using my chopsticks.

Next, the fried chicken, gyoza, and fried rice!

The 'fluffy' fried chicken I chose was truly fluffy, very tender, and delicious!
The gyoza and fried rice didn't disappoint either, and I was so absorbed in eating that I finished everything in no time!

Conclusion

I went in wondering 'What should I do?' while my body was frozen, but by the time I finished eating, both my stomach and heart were warm.
It was a very satisfying night that made me think, 'I'm glad I came out to eat in the cold!'

If you ever have the chance to visit Banshu, please try enjoying your own favorite combination!
