#017 There are about 50 restaurants and confectionery shops in Tonomachi. This is the fourth in the Gourmet series! Here are some popular ramen restaurants that are no exaggeration to say that they are the face of Tonomachi! ~Captivated by the Commitment to Taste~ Homemade noodles Enramen Tonomachi is in the Mikazukihara district, and the ramen shop is very close to the "Hidenoya Udon noodles" introduced earlier. Authentic soy sauce ramen can be tasted in Kyushu, where the pork bone culture is deep-rooted, and now it seems that there are people who come all the way from outside the prefecture as well as from outside the In the town. There are various toppings such as miso, salt, and tomato ramen unique to Tonomachi, but the most popular ramen on Enramen's signature menu and No. 1 is "China Soba Soy Sauce". What is Chinese Soba noodles? I didn't understand it at first. Soba even though it's a ramen shop? That's right. Actually, Chinese Soba is an old way of calling ramen. In fact, people in the Kanto area call the light soy sauce ramen Chinese Soba noodles. When the owner was in the Kanto region, he was surprised at how delicious it was when he ate Chinese Soba noodles, so when he made the product, he dared not use soy sauce ramen, but Chinese Soba noodles. I've eaten Chinese Soba here, and it's so delicious that I can only say "Tege, it's delicious!" That's right, the owner seems to be made with Commitment to the "aftertaste", and the preparation can be done from 4 or 5 in the morning! !! Amazing, isn't it? In addition, Commitment is made to noodles, soup, ingredients, and even chopsticks without using any chemical seasonings, and it seems that they are pursuing the original taste of the ingredients. When you come to Tonomachi, it is worth visiting! Before you know it, you may be captivated by the ramen here! Homemade noodles Business hours/11:30~13:30 * There are lines due to limited time.

Speaking of "Takahama Yaki Juyoshi Kiln", the "Mirumon" patterned with seaweed is well known, but the history of Takahama is also alive in the painting of grapes. By the time of the autumn kiln tour, the grape harvest is already over, but it is also a pleasure to look at the grape designs on the vessels and think about the history of this land.

Authentic pottery making activities began in 2006 (Heisei 18). In this interview, Mr. Hayashida, the owner of the Workshop, showed us one of the techniques called "string making" that does not use a potter's wheel. "String-making" is a method of stacking clay in the form of strings and shaping them. Mr. Hayashida skillfully strings the "black mud soil" and piles it up in a relaxed manner. The scene is as if time is streaming peacefully, and just looking at it soothes my heart. When firing vessels by carbonization firing, in order to take advantage of the Nature shades created by the way the flame hits, no glaze is applied to the outside to bring out the original Texture/character of the soil. The inside is covered with a "transparent glaze" to achieve ease of use that is close to daily life. It has a rustic and unpretentious appearance. During the period, in addition to dragonfly bamboo crafts and woodwork, handmade sweets, bread and jam will be sold. 📍 Workshop style 〒863-2503 Kumamoto Prefecture Amakusa District Reihoku Town Shiki 2915 TEL:0969-35-2041 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 【 The 36th Amakusa Saikai 🍁 Autumn Kiln Tour 】 【Period】October 9 (Thu) ~ October 13 (Mon/Holiday) 8:30 a.m. ~ 5 p.m. 【Venue】 〈Reihoku〉Uchida Plateyama ware, Workshop style, Yugen kiln, Unshu kiln (*Tenzhu kiln did not participate) 〈Amakusa City〉Takahama Yakijuyoshi Kiln, Amakusa Karatsu Township Mountain Turtle Kiln (Juro Kiln) 🍁 Two Stamp Rallies Held in at the Same Time! * Digital Stamp Rally📱 for Kumamoto Health Point Subject Business * Stamp rally to win the products of the desired kiln (application form is Located in at 📃 each kiln) 【Contact】Amakusa Porcelain stone R&D Promotion Council Secretariat (Reihoku Town hall Commerce, Industry and Tourism Division) TEL：0969-35-3332
