The Time-Tested Look of the Eatery and the Classic Ramen Set!
The vintage exterior of this place is overwhelmingly charming and pulls you in like a magnet. The contrast between the whole building and Nagoya Station’s skyscrapers is just perfect!
In this atmosphere it’s like opening the door to the shop in an excited state! I wonder what’s waiting inside? It’s like feeling all jittery and curious!”
The Service Lunch Ramen and Fried Rice combo was a choice worth diving into. Shoyu ramen, a nostalgic take on the classic, delivered a flavorful punch that invoked a sense of nostalgia. Tender slices of chashu only added to the experience. As for the fried rice, it struck a delightful balance of flavors and portion size, making it the perfect pairing.
Overall, it was the kind of ramen that hits the spot! It might not be mind-blowingly exquisite, but it’s undeniably delicious. It doesn’t try too hard to be flashy; instead, it offers the comforting embrace of familiarity that Japanese palates adore.
However, what sets Kameikaku apart is the fusion of authentic Chinese flavors with the beloved local touch of Japanese-Chinese eateries. The ambiance and taste exude a deep-rooted history and a genuine connection with the community.
Where the Aroma of History Meets Deliciousness!
Yes, the scent of evaporated oil from hearty stir-frying can fill the air, but that’s part of the charm. It’s the aroma of history, mingling with the well-seasoned floors and walls, creating a unique character for the restaurant.
As diners experience Kameikaku, they’ll feel as though they’ve stumbled into a hidden alley in Chinatown. It’s a genuine blend of history and culture that’s unmistakable and intriguing!
