Yomohei / 四方平 - Kitakyushu

Dive back into a time where ramen was some of the cheapest food around, because at this ramen shop called Yomohei (四方平), it still is. This ramen shop hast been around since 1937 and still serves ramen for just 500 Yen a bowl (around $5 / 4€).

Interestingly this shop serves sushi as well, not just as a gimmick, but with a proper sushi counter and sushi chef. Not sure if that is a traditional concept, but it definitely works in this restaurant.

Sets of ramen and sushi start from 750 Yen, but a wide range of sushi is available, made to order with fresh fish and other ingredients.

The ramen itself is made only with chicken, no fish elements or pork added. You could call it a light tori paitan, a nice switch for me after having A LOT of tonkotsu ramen in the last days. So some chicken ramen was very welcome.
