Ramen shop Ito
I checked into the hotel after 3:00pm, and after that I was lazing around in bed.
Bars begin to open after 5:00 pm, so head to the bar.
Part of the fun is visiting the bars in the area the day before the whiskey event.
There was a long line before the store opened, and even though we managed to secure a seat, the inside of the store was quite crowded.
『Chichibu Whiskey Festival 2025” Participants come to Chichibu not only from all over Japan but from all over the world, so it can't be helped that this happens. .
I've heard that foreigners and domestic enthusiasts come to Chichibu from Thursday to sample Chichibu's gourmet food and visit the bars before it's crowded.
If my work schedule allows, I would like to try it someday.
After a few drinks at the bar, it was almost 6:00 pm, so we headed off to participate in the Miyakawa Night Bazaar, which can be considered the eve of the Chichibu Whiskey Festival.
I arrived at the venue and thought it would start at 18:00, but it actually started at 19:00. .
From this time onwards, all the bars were so crowded that I couldn't get into them, so I was walking around trying to figure out how to kill time.Ramen shop Ito” was discovered.
I visited because it was a good way to kill time and prevent getting sick.
I visited after 18:00, and although there were several other customers in the store, I was able to enter without waiting.
Miso ramen + egg
The restaurant uses a ticket system, so you buy it at the ticket machine right after you enter the store and then take your seat.
Only cash was accepted at the ticket machine.
The menu is ``Soy sauce, shio, miso” is there.
Personally, Chichibu has an image of miso, so this time I will introduce ``Miso ramen (800 yen)” was selected.
To replenish protein,Egg (100 yen)” topping.
The rice bowl is served in about 5 minutes after being seated.
Let's get it then.
Soup
It was quite red in color, so I was worried that it would be spicy, but it wasn't spicy at all.
The sweetness and richness of the backfat and the richness of the miso make it a rich and delicious dish.
There was garlic on the table, but I was planning to drink whiskey after this, so I gave up. .
It's easy to imagine that the backfat goes well with the thick soup.
Noodles
The noodles are thin to average, and yellowish like egg noodles.
I think it may be a little curly.
It has a firm texture and a strong barley taste, and it has an impression that it can stand up to even the richly seasoned soups.
Chashu (Braised Pork)
Is the part rose?
This also has a strong flavor and stands out as much as the soup.
On the menu is ``Beer medium bottle (500 yen)”, so there was “Miso Char Siu (1,000 yen)It seems like it would be good to drink it with chashu as a snack.
egg
The doneness of boiling is half-cooked.
It comes with half an egg by default, so the egg topping may not have been necessary.
Impressions
It was delicious.
『Miso ramen' was good, so 'soy sauce/shioI'm also curious about both of these.
The soup has a fairly high salt concentration, and the back fat gives it a rich impression.
I thought I'd like to use it after working or exercising, where I need salt, or after drinking.
The restaurant closes a little early at night, from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm, so it may be difficult to visit after finishing your drink. .
It may be best to start drinking a little earlier in the evening and finish at a healthy time around 8:00 pm.
Restaurants in Chichibu close early, which is good for the city of Chichibu, and also for your health. .
