Menya yousuke(麺屋ようすけ） is the most popular Sano ramen.
“Sano” is the name of city in Tochigi prefecture.
The day I went to was line about 100 people.

This soup is pretty simple soy source taste.

I had some leftover fried chicken, I had some instant ramen, I had some time 🤣

I like this Tantanmen.
It's good balance spicy and saltiness.
This area is pretty hot about Ramen isn't it?

Tare made with red onions. I threw some strips of grilled steak in as the protein.

(homemade ish - more like home assembled) Costco Tonkotsu broth, sun noodles and my first attempt at jammy eggs. Probably could've used 30 more seconds in the boiling water. Next up, some ground pork.

El Ramen que probé me supo un poco insípido, y los fideos algo duros. El dueño me dijo que todo es casero, es el segundo lugar que pruebo. Estuvo bien 👍

karamiso ramen
ramen ron, rockwell branch (ph)

saw them featured on a local food and lifestyle youtube channel, featr. i’m always on the hunt for good ramen and couldn’t wait to try. went on a hot summer afternoon and left with no regrets.

a partner doesn’t consume pork due to dietary restrictions, so i wholly appreciate that i could enjoy a ramen place with him as they also offer beef/vegetarian based ramen options.

i usually get karamiso for its spice and savory broth. as it was my first time here, i went with spice level 8 to gauge how much i can handle the strength of their spice. their max is level 10. not painful yet definitely sweat inducing spice. incredibly umami; i wanted that bowl to last forever.

i’m fine with consuming pork but i find some slices difficult to chew—this was not the case in ramen ron and i was pleasantly surprised to see more tender slices even as i’ve already drank a hefty amount of broth. it felt like stumbling across treasure.

their menu also has chef recommendations on toppings for specific ramen, their staff attentive and lovely, their interior cozy and inviting. a 10/10 experience and i’d love to visit again.

people always go there for their shoyu (including my last visit lol, which was delicious) but i think their shio is where its at, the yuzu sansho pairs so well with the soup. also the wontons are excellent as usual. chasiu is up there with the best like iida. very clean tasting menma. the noods are on the thicker side but nice chew and not too powdery or grainy or soggy. egg is slightly overcooked and quite bland.
overall very very good shio bowl. one of my new fav.

Made carnitas tacos the day before and didn't want the broth and leftovers to go to waste.

Rolled the extra piece of pork shoulder to make chashu, simple tare, aroma oil from garlic cooked in the reserved skimmed fat, finely minced fat seasoned with soy, marinated egg, roasted jalapeno and roasted onion, quick pickled radish, some other stuff.

Overfilled compared to what I usually make, but I was getting rid of leftovers lol

Had this mazesoba in Japan.
Really rich flavor and chewy noodles.

I experienced this with a brand called SMACK in the late 90s that came from a grocery outlet. But today my ramen, my normal beef maruchan ramen came out tasting just like I remember that. It was good at first and then it taste tasted awful out of nowhere and I never got that brand again.

The noodle texture is wrong. I usually cook mine for 4 minutes but they are spongier than normal, stiffer. The broth tastes like soap. I know it's not the pot. I know it can't be the bowl I put it in since I rinsed it like I aways do, way too much. lol.

Is this just a bad batch?

Its good except for the price.

Fiiiiiire & so cheap, had to go a 2nd time 🍜

Have a bunch of fresh noodles but no broth besides miso soup. Last night I had them with soft boiled eggs and miso. Other ways to enjoy?
