Lái 々 Xuān - Takasago-shi

On the way from Uwajima city to Sukumo city, passing through Kochi prefecture, it was lunchtime. I don't usually go to this area, so I looked up a restaurant using Google Maps. I found "Rairaiken" and decided to try it because there were some good reviews. The parking lot was full, indicating that it is a popular local restaurant. I tried the large portion of ramen. Even the large portion was priced in the 600 yen range, which is cheap. It had a sweet and strong soy sauce flavor, similar to the taste of simmered pork. It was a simple flavor, but it felt like it could become addictive.

The large-sized miso double chashu ramen costs 850 yen including tax. It has a traditional taste with plenty of thin chashu slices that wrap around the noodles each time you take a bite. I was dining alone, so I sat at the counter to place my order. After a while, the staff suggested I move to a vacant table since I had some belongings with me. It was a nice gesture, so I accepted and moved. The service was polite and welcoming. The restaurant has a nostalgic feel like a neighborhood ramen shop, but it is well-maintained and clean. There is parking available in front of the restaurant.

The miso double chashu ramen was delicious! The miso seemed a bit richer than before, and the chahan (fried rice) was also tasty.

前回と同じく今回もチャーシュー麺にしました。 少し甘味を感じる優しいスープが特徴。 麺は硬めでオーダーする方が良いかも？ 次回は、味噌ラーメンにチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

スープが堪らなく美味しいですね！ 煮干しと豚の出汁だと思うんですが、旨味の要素が全て詰まった様なスープでした。 チャーシューも良いです！ 2021年1月再訪 やっぱり変わらず美味い！今回は味噌スープを戴きましたが、私の好みは醤油スープでした。 味噌は濃度薄めの独特なスッキリスープですので、これにハマる方も多いと思います。 また、沢山入ってるチャーシューも丁度良い塩梅の味付けで、ラーメンと良く合うと思います。麺はやや緩いと感じましたので、次回硬めとコールしてみます。 そんなに沢山のラーメン屋さんを知ってる訳では有りませんが、私が食べて来た中でトップ3に入る美味さのラーメン店です！ ご馳走さまでした。また帰省時に伺います。
