Incidentally, the most popular ramen in Thailand is "Tom Yum Ramen," which is full of local flavor.
As the catchphrase of the No. 8 Ramen commercial says, "Why do you do it No. 8? Although it doesn't seem to be in pursuit of ultimate deliciousness (sorry...) Maybe it's the stability of a mother's taste. Today, I had the miso flavor, which is the most popular among vegetable ramen, and the salt flavor.
You can order by touch panel, although it differs from store to store. If you are not comfortable using the touch panel, ask a staff member to help you place your order. 8-ban Ramen also has a full lineup of condiments, including special pepper and gyoza sauce made from local Kanazawa soy sauce called Ohno Soy Sauce. Oh, yes, 8-ban Ramen also has a full side menu, including delicious gyoza (dumplings), large fried tofu, and fries. There is also a branch at Kanazawa Station, so feel free to stop by upon arrival or before departure. Try "8-ban Ramen," the soul food of Ishikawa residents!
