Kitakuriya - Ramen with Quality AND Quantity

Restaurant Review by A.K.

Kitakuriya is a ramen restaurant located near the Keikyu Kitakurihama Station in Yokosuka. It is one of the best ramen restaurants in the city - possibly the best.

The first thing you'll notice is its very convenient location. If you get off at Kitakurihama Station, it won't take you a minute to get there, making it tempting to get off at that station every time you're hungry.

The great thing about Kitakuriya is its friendliness to students. Unlike some ramen restaurants, Kitakuriya serves very delicious ramen for a low price. What stands out especially for students is the special menu for students. They have Gakusei Ramen, which is Japanese for "student ramen." This tasty tonkotsu flavored ramen comes with rice, and you can ask for as many refills as you want. You can also ask for extra noodles for just ¥100. This special menu is exclusive to any student, from pre-school to college students, and the price is only ¥500. Students like me with little money and a huge appetite can certainly be satisfied with the affordable price. The taste is brilliant and even better than a lot of very expensive ramen restaurants out there. No matter how many times you eat it, you never get tired of the taste, and you want to go back again and again.

Most of the time, it's only the owner and his assistant serving food, but you can feel their energy as if there were 10 of them working. There are only 10 counter seats and no table seats, but customers come, eat and leave at a fast pace, so no one is kept waiting for long, even if the seats are full.

If you're someone who loves ramen, especially if you're a student, I highly recommend you get on a train and stop by Kitakuriya for your next meal.
