泣く子も黙る磯野製麺のお店です。良く伸びる下地をクレープ状にし、次々と具材を重ねていきます。キャベツは高く盛っていませんが、ひっくり返した後は押さえつけず、そのまま蒸し焼きにするためです。そばは茹でた物を広げて、軽く焦げ目をつけてから整形します。あっさりしたお好み焼きで、ソースも薄めにしています。ソースも辛口があり、マヨネーズ、ガーリックパウダー、七味唐辛子と揃っています。

They have seating at tables or at the counter and individual customers or groups are more than welcome.

We were amazed at how delicious Reichan’s dishes were at a fraction of the cost of Indian cuisine in London, L.A., etc. We over-ordered after navigating the casual and comfortable restaurant’s...

Hiroshima Areas

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
