Onomichi is technically still considered part of Hiroshima, but it is home to an entirely different breed of ramen. As you'll see in the pictures, the soup is clear aside from the island bits of fat floating on the surface. The people are genuinely friendly and will do whatever they can to help you enjoy your stay. It's a romantic artsy town located along the Seto Inland Sea. Another day here and I might have been inspired to write a book...
I'm back in Hiroshima for the night. I thought I'd get this post out a little early so I can be free to roam the town and eat okonomiyaki. Tomorrow I'm off to Osaka, which will be my hub for the next two days. I'm hoping to branch out from there and visit Wakayama, Tenri, and Kyoto. There's not really an "Osaka Ramen" but I may just consume a bowl for the sake of it. Only 7 days left...let's not even think about it.

ReplyDeleteSo you've been to Onomichi? Please do share you memories!
ReplyDeleteHi Keizo,
ReplyDeleteWow, the Onomichi Ramen looks delicious! :) Especially the 2nd Ramen-ya you hit. The broth looked amazing.
I can't believe you hit a Mickie D's in Japan, LOL! :) But that Cheese Katsu Burger looked a lot better than the stuff we have here in the U.S.
