Tasty nigiri set we had at Kanehachi Sushi (かね八寿し) in Onjuku. I waited too long to try this place, which has always been right on my way between the pub and the beach house. Fresh, fresh, fresh!!! #foodstr #food #japan #sushi #chiba

Friday night moon in Onjuku #japan #chiba

Katsuura Behara Ramen Yamamuraya for lunch today. I’m always happy to see more things popping up in Chiba, and this iekei style ramen was a great addition. It was solid, and worth a stop if you’re in the area and tired of Katsuura tantanmen. #ramen #chiba #japan #foodstr #food

A variation of tantanmen from Meito Shokudo in Ichinomiya Chiba. The spicy meat, menma, and onions were great. My issue was the overabundance of moyashi. I think there was more moyashi than noodles. I also got some otsumami chashu, and the chashu was amazing, and definitely the highlight of the meal. If I go back it’s gonna be chashu ramen next time. #ramen #foodstr #food #chiba #japan

Today’s ramen is another from Chiba that many may have heard of. Ariran ramen in Nagara Chiba has a great thin but rich oniony, garlic broth with pork and soy sauce flavors. Plenty of chopped onion included, and as usual, I often like to load on the chashu. You may need a car, or in my case, a motorcycle to get to this one which is a bit out there, but it’s a great stop on the way from Tokyo to China’s east coast. #ramen #foodstr #food #chiba #japan

Takeoka style ramen from Suzuya on the west coast of Chiba. This style has a dark shoyu broth made from the tare used to soak the pork chashu, which is a highlight of the bowl. The style is simple but tasty. #ramen #food #japan #chiba
