The other day, I really wanted to eat Jiro ramen, so I visited the Jiro-inspired restaurant "Pig Gang Hachioji Store" that opened last year in Hachioji for the first time. Access is from JR Hachioji Station, take Hachioji Station U-Road Nishi-Radiation Street toward Takao (west), turn left at the diagonal intersection where the radiation is interrupted and there is a daizushi, and head towards the direction where the movie theater called New Hachioji Cinema used to be. So, when you hit the Yokamachi Minami intersection of National Route 16, you can see the hormone yakiniku Tenryu in front of you, so if you go straight through that intersection for about 50 meters, you will see a store with a yellow exterior. Address is here: 6-11 Minamimachi, Hachioji City, Tokyo Since it was my first time, I chose the basic pig gang ramen. I bought a ticket for raw egg and garlic quail with toppings. The amount of noodles is 200g, and the noodles are usually hard, so the hardness of the noodles is left as it is. At the ticket vending machine, I saw an attractive killer word such as "TKG", so I bought it without hesitation. This was the right answer. I asked for all the calls to be normal. In about 5 minutes, the "back fat TKG" arrives first. It's the first time I've had a collaboration between back fat and egg rice, but I love TKG and back fat, so I was able to predict the taste. The egg yolk neutralizes the sweetness of the back fat and the dark soy sauce flavor, and as expected, it is the best match! Squid even if there is a specialty store for this! After a while, the pork gang ramen also arrived. The soup is a Jiro ramen from Fukuoka in Kyushu, so it looks more like a pork bone soy sauce type of Fukuoka tonkotsu ramen than a typical Jiro-inspired soy sauce-based soup. The noodles are also very satisfying. As you can see, the soup was like a creamy pork bone soy sauce, and I didn't get tired of it in the middle and it was delicious until the end. Next time, I'll have to call out, "With back fat!" https://hachi-navi.com/gourmet/ramen/128442...

Ramen lovers are Chinabi staff. The other day, I went to "Kagoshima Tonkotsu Ramen Nanshu", which I hadn't visited yet! According to the Information of Tabelog, it seems that it just opened last year in December 2024. The location was There is a along the Koshu-kaido near the Hachioji City Central Library, about a 5-minute walk from Nishi Hachioji Station toward Takao Station. It is about a 1-minute walk from the intersection where Bookoff and Glasses Store are located, along the Megane Store side toward Takao. It may be the first time for the Kagoshima ramen genre. It looks like tonkotsu ramen topped with bean sprouts. When I sipped the soup, I felt that it was light at first, but as I ate it with straight thin noodles, I could feel the pork bone feeling! The flavor of char siu and noodles was firmly attached, and the bean sprouts refreshed my mouth, so I enjoyed it until the end! I would like to revisit it again.

The cherry blossoms at night in Fujimori Park were also beautiful! There were still many stalls night shops Stalls, so it was crowded with many Cherry blossom viewers. * This is also a photo of the day before yesterday.

The day before yesterday, the cherry blossoms on the banks of the Asakawa River near the Tama Imperial Tomb were just about to bloom and were very beautiful! There were many parents and children who seemed to be new first-year elementary school students and junior high school students, and they were photographed wearing brand new school bags. If it hadn't been scattered by the thunderstorm earlier, I think it will still be in full bloom on the weekend, so if you haven't enjoyed this year's cherry blossoms yet, do so as soon as possible!

Today, I would like to introduce Hachioji Gourmet! Yesterday was a cold day with rain, so I wanted to eat ramen asexually, so I visited a Minamoto in Misaki Town for the first time in a long time yellowtail lunch! I usually eat it after drinking, but I may have eaten it sober since I was in high school (laughs). This restaurant has a strong image of Sapporo miso ramen, but my recommendation is this Asahikawa soy sauce ramen! It was a m(__)m treat https://hachi-navi.com/gourmet/ramen/279043...

Spring is the season for cherry blossom viewing. I wonder if Hachioji will see the cherry blossoms this weekend. A popular cherry blossom viewing spot in Hachioji is Fujimori Park in Taimachi. There are also many stalls! * The photo was taken when it was in full bloom last year. https://hachi-navi.com/park/parks/207269...

At the "Muttoni World Exhibition", there are many karakuri music boxes on display, and each box takes about 5~20 minutes. By the time I finished watching the whole thing, two hours had passed, but I had a strange feeling that I was in a dream the whole time. A picture is worth a thousand words! Children up to junior high school students can watch for free, adults can watch for 750 yen, and people over 65 years old can watch for 350 yen. I highly recommend that you take a ✨ look!!

Do you know Myanmar rock-paper-scissors? Myanmar rock-paper-scissors is said to be fought with "tigers", "police" and "guns". Tigers are strong against the police, but weak against guns. The police are vulnerable to tigers, but they are strong with guns because they can control the guns. Guns are weak against the police, but they are strong against tigers. That's the power relationship! 🐯👮 ♀️🔫 The photo on the left is a police pose, and the one on the right is a tiger pose! Students from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Mongolia study at our school. The students get along very well across borders and respect each other's cultures. 😊

A 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station, we went to the Sri Lankan restaurant "Ceylon Green" behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape, and many people are reminded of Minecraft's Nether Fortress. This time I ate a Sri Lankan B-grade gourmet called "Kottu". Kottu is a dish of noodles made of wheat flour with vegetables. It was a little spicy than other Hachioji restaurants I had eaten at before, so the sweetness and carbonation of ginger beer Sri Lankan juice was pleasant to the mouth. The number of Sri Lankan students has also increased at our school, so we are very happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. 😊 I'm going to try another dish.

We look forward to working with you again this year. Notices outside the school have become New Year's greetings from various countries. In addition, since classes will resume today, we also started writing.
