    米沢・白布温泉に泊まった翌日、昼食にラーメンを食べに喜多方へ立ち寄った。おおよそ25年ぶりの喜多方。一番人気の伴内食堂はいつも混んでいるし都内にチーェン店も展開しているのでパス。で、向かったのが「なまえ食堂」。ここもやはり人気で5〜6人の行列。まあラーメンだから回転がいいだろうと思いきや1時間以上待たされた。小さな店て、一階テーブルは8席。二階が4席ほどか?その客をこなすのに1時間以上もかかるとは...

    味わいのある蔵の喫茶店です。昭和の雰囲気。炭火ブレンドコーヒーが美味しいです。普通のブレンドはモカベースなのか酸味がありました。ケーキセットがありますが、スーパーとかである普通のケーキです。コーヒー単品でいいかも。蔵の雰囲気を味わうにはとてもいいと思います。メインストリートにあるので、休憩にもいいです。

The broth strikes a perfect balance with top grade Rishiri kombu kelp, and thick-shaved two-year-aged bonito.

    交差点角に立地していて昼時は並んでるので分かりやすいです。反面目立つので人も多く駐車場満杯でいつも諦めて他へ行くこともしばしば。今回幸いに駐車出来たので利用出来ました。蕎麦は手打ちの十割蕎麦です。山都はこれで統一されてるようですね。喜多方市に属してますが中心街はラーメン、こっちは日本そばと好みで使い分けられますね。店内は町のお蕎麦屋さんって感じでこじんまりしてます。小さ目のテーブル席と座敷席。ご飯...

    Fukushima Kitakata-shi 3-4774
    This ramen shop has been in business since 1960, meaning it has a full 60 years of success behind it. This is the main shop of Taian Shokudo, a chain with several outlets throughout the Tohoku region, and they offer old fashioned Kitakata style ramen with medium-thick flat noodles with high alkaline content. The slippery, springy noodles have a fun, crinkly hand-made texture that matches the locally-sources soy sauce broth perfectly. You can order the special house-made soy broth extra rich, as well. The outside is built like an old-fashioned warehouse, which doesn't look at all like the usual ramen shop.

    駅近ですのですっごい便利でした。東京のチェーン店とは味が微妙に違います。もちろん、本場の味のほうがおいいしいですって。本格ちじれ面とあっさり系の味です。毎度のことながらお肉がすごいですね。

    蔵巡りをして駐車場に向かう途中に市役所の近くに蔵造りの立派な店舗を見つけ立ち寄ってみました。和菓子はどれも100円前後の手頃な価格でバラ売りです。歩き疲れた時の糖分補給ということで「一口まんじゅう」を買い求めました。甘さも程良く、一個10円という価格も魅力的です。
