Yesterday I had omuchahan with a large portion of rice. Today I had ankake yakisoba with a large portion of noodles. Both the omuchahan and ankake yakisoba were delicious. The ankake yakisoba with extra noodles looked like an extra-large serving, but it seemed to be mostly the generous amount of thick sauce, so I could surprisingly finish it.

2026.2.11 Labor Thanksgiving Day I visited at lunchtime I was thinking of going into the stylish cafe next door, but something about this indescribable, good old-fashioned appearance made me think they might serve delicious food, so I changed my mind and decided to try it☝️ When I opened the door, the counter? in the middle was full of customers, and someone called out that there was space in the back, so I went into the tatami seating area there I was already taken aback by the size of another customer’s ramen as soon as I walked in, but I was also getting really hungry I ordered ankake yakisoba. Even once I started eating, digging the noodles out of the thick sauce required arm muscles, and it was so hefty that lifting the noodles was hard😅 Loads of vegetables Loads of noodles I was completely satisfied💕 There was also instant coffee by the counter, and although I wondered whether it was okay to have some, I certainly helped myself🙏 Thank you for the meal🙏😋✨

Delicious. An old-fashioned diner. I went after 14時, but there were still a few customers around. There was a delivery box too, so I thought they probably do deliveries. Newspapers and complimentary self-service coffee after a meal might be standard around here! It feels comforting. The shio ramen looks clear and full of homemade character, with a look that tells you it’s delicious before you even eat it. The flavor was too light for me, so I forgot about adding salt and put in a spoonful of soy sauce, which was delicious too. The chashu was tender but still had some bite, and the thicker pieces of fu were lovely^_^ Juicy and delicious. Shio ramen 800円

A long-established diner in Sarabetsu Village. The menu has plenty of variety, including ramen, soba, and donburi, so choosing is part of the fun. I went in around 11時半 and ordered ankake yakisoba this time because I had heard beforehand that it was recommended. While I was waiting for the food, more and more customers came in, and almost all of them ordered ankake yakisoba. After quite a wait, the ankake yakisoba arrived, and I was surprised by the huge portion! Under the generous topping of thick sauce were yellow noodles with a little browning, but the sauce was so heavy that lifting the noodles was difficult. I had heard the flavor was strong, but it wasn’t especially so; the seasoning was fairly gentle. Partway through, I wanted to try adding vinegar, but couldn’t find any on the table. Apparently you need to ask the staff for condiments and such. By the time I finished, the restaurant was almost full, and most people seemed to be local regulars. It reminded me again that this is a long-established diner deeply rooted in the community. There is parking space for 5〜6 cars beside the restaurant. Besides counter seating, there seem to be tatami seats and upstairs seating too.

I visited お食事処あさひ in Sarabetsu Village. I went in around 12時30分. It had been a while. There were no customers before us, but many came afterward, leaving it almost full. It’s a popular local place. I ordered soy-sauce gomoku chashu men for 1000円, and my companion ordered ankake yakisoba for 800円. All ６ other customers at the round counter ordered ankake yakisoba. Our bowls arrived in about 15 minutes. The gomoku chashu men came in a bowl meant for a large serving. Just looking at it, I knew I couldn’t finish it. There were ５ large slices of chashu, plus pork, small shrimp, asari clams, and plenty of vegetables. It was perfectly tasty, but I really couldn’t finish it. Sorry. The ankake yakisoba was also an incredible portion. Apparently the seasoning was strong and seemed like it would go well with rice. A young male customer had a large ankake yakisoba, but the amount looked like a punishment challenge. 食堂あさひ, formidable❗️Definitely coming back. Thank you for the meal🎵
