Ramen Zenya - 石巻市 日本

Ramen Zenya is an amazing Michelin Guide-rated shop. I’ll admit my first impression was not very good, seeing the large menu and a long wait. They advertise locally-sourced and produced noodles and in-house made broths, so I gave it a try. I was curious to try their take with Saba Ramen for only 800￥ for a large size. I took a sip and I was transported to ramen broth heaven, imagining fishermen and their fresh saba (mackerel) haul pouring them into a hilariously large pot, then straight into my mouth. The taste was so unexpectedly flavorful with the unique smokey, rich taste of saba in every sip. What I did expect was the broth to be slightly greasy, given the high oil and fat content in saba. The chashu was exceptionally soft, making me wish I had a side order of extra chashu. The noodles were thin, nice, and firm, tying the whole ramen together. Wow.

I came here to help clean after the earthquake. One day I will return to Japan and try their food. I give 5 Stars in advance, because I know If the food is any reflection of the very sweet owners, then I have much to look forward to upon my return and trying some of their dishes. If your in the area, please stop by and give this wonderful spot some business. Enjoy!

This place is fantastic. Great food and atmosphere for lunch. Service is very good. You order from a machine which is great for somebody with very limited Japanese language skills like myself.

時間が合わずなかなか来れませんでしたがようやく来ましたよ、らーめん善谷さん。 並んでますね期待できます さばだし中華そば ￥750 スープ 濃さは普通ですが、さばだしというわりには、さばだしを感じられませんね… わりと味気なく普通でちょっとびっくりしました。 麺 よくある麺で味気はないです。 具 チャーシューは普通にうまいですが、メンマは市販品でしょうか… うまいという噂で来ましたが… 総合的に特に特徴もなく、旨味が弱いというか…まあいわゆる普通ですね。 チョイスが悪かったのかも… 普通の中華そばにすればよかったと少し後悔

出張できていた宮城県石巻市　善谷さん！車で美味しそうに見えたのでぷらっとはいりました！ 多分あっさり中華蕎麦が有名なんですが、あっさりの口じゃないので、醤油豚骨とライス注文！ラーメン850円　ライス100円 普通の値段かな〜サラリーマン的にランチがあって込み込み850円ご嬉しい 味は魚ベースの醤油に豚骨でめちゃくちゃ好きな味　大盛りにしたらよかった 麺は初めて見るちぢれ麺？？ 店内もカウンター広いし、綺麗で満足でした！
