The famous Asahikawa ramen shop "Aoba" will be relocated from Kofu Station to Chuo City as "Koshu Aoba" and will open on November 2023, 11! It's located along Route 20, so it's easy to find and access.

The store is spacious with a total of 30 seats, including counter seats and table seats, and is crowded with a wide range of fans, from students to families with children.

The best part is the homemade noodles made in the noodle making room on the premises! It's no wonder that they have a reputation for ``delicious noodles!''
By the way, on the day of the interview, the wife was busy making jumbo gyoza by hand, so I had to order some gyoza too♪

There are two main menu items: ``Chinese soba'' and the famous hoto ``Raho''.
The Chinese noodles come in soy sauce, salt, and miso, and you can choose from three flavors of flavored eggs. Today, I chose the ``Ajitama Ramen'', which is a soy sauce soup topped with 3 slice of pork fillet, ajitama, green onion, and menma. I heard that soy sauce is recommended for the flavored eggs, so I ordered this right away.

The soup is a double soup made with Asahikawa ramen iron plate, animal extracts from chicken bones and pork, and seafood stock such as dried sardines and kelp, and is full of richness and flavor. And as expected, our proud homemade noodles! The medium-thin straight noodles have a strong wheat flavor that goes down well in your throat, and goes perfectly with the soup.
The presence of the soft and large chashu pork, the seasoning of the flavored egg, and the thickness of the yolk are all worth mentioning.

To accompany your ramen, be sure to try the gyoza homemade by his wife. When you take a bite of a large dumpling filled with toppings, the meat juices start to ooze out and your mouth is instantly filled with a sea of ​​juicy flavor.

Don't miss the ``Raho,'' which uses Izutsuya soy sauce's handmade miso to create a mellow and elegant ramen miso soup with the sweetness of koji.
What a wonderful combination of smooth homemade hoto noodles and ramen soup...!! This is worth a meal even if you are not a tourist.
