The many small bowls allowed the flavors of the ingredients to shine through, and each had a gentle seasoning, making for a very healthy meal. The miso soup was served piping hot, and I could have seconds of rice, which was the best!
Lunch: Chicken Nanban
The visual presence is also excellent.
The chicken is tender and easy to eat, and the taste is superb!
I loved the flavors of the other small dishes as well.
I had multigrain rice, which was a bit soft, so personally, I felt that I would have preferred it to be of normal firmness, as I like white rice to be a bit firmer.
I definitely want to visit again. It was exquisite.
The staff were also very pleasant.
The food was of course delicious and the after dinner drinks were plentiful...we were able to relax and chat.
The atmosphere of the restaurant, the tableware, the interior design... all were good.

Lunch at Nagahama Ichiban, a popular Nagahama Ramen restaurant in Matsuyama 🍜.
This ramen restaurant specializes in Nagahama ramen, one of the most popular tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen, and the restaurant is packed regardless of weekdays or holidays 😄.
This time, I ordered a regular ramen!
Not too heavy on the pork bones, but light and very tasty 😋.
You can add free toppings such as takana (Chinese cabbage), red ginger, and sesame seeds to make it your own.
Almost all the customers around me wanted to have another bowl, but I was satisfied with just one bowl because I had another one coming up 😂.
The menu is extensive and delicious, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is excellent!
We were also impressed by the cute signboard girl who greeted us.
We plan to visit again soon.
Thank you so much for this time!
The exterior is cute, and from the moment you enter, you feel excited. The homemade bread that comes out first has a wonderful aroma, is chewy, and pairs well with the sauce. The appetizer platter is fun and well-balanced, featuring tomatoes, mozzarella, steamed vegetables, fritters, and caponata. The pasta, especially the tomato cream with plenty of crab flavor and the squid ink, has a perfect texture. The pizza has a rich cheese aroma, and both the simple ones and the four-cheese option are very satisfying. For dessert, the chocolate gelato and chocolate bread are also recommended, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with a multicultural vibe.
