When I decided to go to Saga, I thought I should have Saga-style ramen. And I searched for some shops having high reputation. I knew this Ramen Motomura (らーめん もとむら) is a legend of Saga-style ramen. So, I decided to go to there without fail. Many ramen shops having high reputation in Saga is far from station and we need to go to there by car. But Motomura is within walking distance from Nabeshima station.
Their former name is Ikkyuken Nabeshima branch (一休軒 鍋島店). The first chef dead in 2020 and now second chef is there.
If you go to Saga for the first time, you have to know in advance. We can’t use IC card (SUICA, PASMO and so on) at stations except Saga station in Saga and almost all station don’t have staffs. So, we have to buy ticket.
This is the menu of Motomura. That’s all. Some people ate inari zushi with ramen.
I have an affinity for Saga ramen because Saga ramen usually have raw yolk at the center of the bowl. Strictly speaking, I ordered ramen with egg. This yolk is the characteristic of Saga ramen. I love raw yolk. And another characteristic of Saga ramen is smell of pork bone. I felt strong smell of pork bone at ramen shops in Saga. So, I hesitated at first, but there’s no strong smell in the shop. Actually, this ramen have good smell. And it had mild tastes.
The noodle is rather soft. And narrow. This narrow noodle went with the creamy soup. This soup is the mass of extract of pork bone. It’s not salty. So, I drunk it up. Well, there was no choice but drink up soup with yolk 🙂
I thought this is the first and last time to visit Saga before going to Saga, but I want to visit Saga again to eat some Saga ramen. Of course, I want to visit Motomura again, too 🙂
