The popular Iekei ramen restaurant "Oudouya" has finally come to Yamanashi! Since opening in Showa-cho on May 2024, 5, Iekei Ramen Shindouya has been bustling with many people looking for the taste of authentic Iekei ramen.

There is a ticket machine right after you enter, where you choose a menu and hand the ticket to the staff to order. Of course, you can also choose the firmness of the noodles, the strength of the flavor, and the amount of oil.

The restaurant has a counter and three tables that seat four people, making it a great place to dine alone or with your family.

This time, I decided to try the seasoned egg ramen from "Oudou no In," a ramen restaurant of the "Oudouya" lineage that inherits the DNA of the original family ramen restaurant "Yoshimuraya."
The thick, flat noodles are perfectly entangled with the thick, thick, and impactful pork bone soy sauce. The chewy, springy noodles have a great aroma and texture! The large thigh roast pork is also moist and tender, making it the best.

After enjoying changing the flavor with different seasonings, it's time to enjoy the second half of the family-style ramen.
At Shindo-ya, rice is free all day if you order noodles, so I immediately put rice from the rice cooker into a bowl. The classic "ramen rice" is good, but apparently an advanced customization is to add mayonnaise to the infinite garlic and eat it with the soup. It's also fun to find your own way of eating it, such as wrapping it in seaweed or topping it with roast pork.

As a fan of abura soba, this is something I'm also interested in.

Topped with spring onions, spinach, komachia (rice crackers), and nori (dried seaweed), this is a hearty dish. Mix it with the pork bone and soy sauce sauce for an unparalleled deliciousness! You can also change the flavor with the chopped ginger, garlic, and chili oil on the table.

Come and try the authentic Shindo-ya ramen, which is simmered for days to thicken and mature the soup!
