Dina and I went to Kamakura to do a little shopping. After walking down Komachi Dori for a little bit, we were ready for lunch and decided to enjoy a bowl of ramen. The first place we found was closed. I did a quick “ramen near me” search on Google Maps.
Google Maps led us to Hirano.
Turns out, Hirano is the Japan’s smallest ramen joint. The sign out front was hysterical.
As we were reading the sign, we thought we should first check to see if there was room for us before determining our order. As luck would have it, when we opened the door, three people came out. Therefore, plenty of room!
There were actually two more seats available. Seven seats total. (Can you see all 4 customers? Plus me taking the picture.)
Our chef in the kitchen.
Ironically, the smallest ramen joint in Japan still serves ginormous bowls of ramen.
I ordered the #4 special ramen. Miso base with a little spice. It was good. It made the top five of my favorite ramen joints mainly because of the restaurant itself.
Seriously, could this place be any funnier!?!
Perhaps, when Dina poses for me!
Kamakura is full of so many bizarre and unique experiences. I truly can’t wait to take you there when you visit!
Here are my finds from our shopping. Can you tell it is Sakura Season? A couple bowls, plates, chopstick rests and adorable cats. Kawaii!!
