My favorite Place to Eat

Recently, I have been trying out dishes from other countries that are offered in restaurants. The decision on which restaurant I should try out is mainly based on by my mood and the first idea of the place. From the past experiences I have been to various restaurants, I settled on Japanese restaurants as my favorite restaurant because of the good experience. I got this experience from a Japanese restaurant that became my best because I left the place feeling calm and happy because the quality of the meal I had and how tasty it was at the Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen. The restaurant is kind of Tokyo style. I like the restaurant because it offers my favorite meals, provides a variety of meals, is cost effective, and has competent staff.

Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen offers Japanese cuisine which is one of the most famous cuisines both in Japan and other countries. My most favorite meal in this particular joint is usually Wagyu or Japanese bees as it is popularly known. The restaurant allows me to select the meat of my choice and enjoy cooking it over the grill. Sometimes, I enjoy Teppanyaki, monjavak, or okonomiyaki. When I have sweet tooth, I take yakisoba which is a type of pancake. The restaurant has a unique way of cooking rice. Before eating here, I never knew that rice can have many different flavors. Take mocha for instance. These are cakes made from pounded rice. Sake is equally delicious and one of the reasons why I rank this place as one of the best Japanese eateries.

When it comes to cost, Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen beats all its competitors hands down. In the US, Japanese cuisine is quite expensive and ranks closely to Italian and Mexican cuisines because the chefs need expensive ingredients as well as advanced trainings to prepare the food properly. However, this restaurant offers its food at averagely 2 dollars lower than its competitors and several dollars cheaper than other foreign cuisines without comprising the quality. This is purely exciting because one still gets to enjoy the exotic meals and enjoy unique food such raw eggs put on every food and eating with chopstick that ensures you eat that last grain of rice that you bought.

Variety is another aspect of Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen that made me fall in love with it. The restaurant has enabled me to try more dishes that I would not have thought of trying before such as sashimi. They are providing the original taste of the food. These meals are offered coupled up with the drink of choice. I made most of my visits to the restaurant during summer when very hot. my favorite drink is lemon juice with some mint. I have grown to love the Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen restaurant due to the atmosphere it provides and the welcoming nature of the waiters. There are some days my appetite directs me consume sea food. Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen is always there for me. It provides me with the option of sashimi which is seafood eaten raw. They mostly serve it thinly sliced with daikon, commonly known as sans rice. Other times I go yakizakana or grilled fish. The mouthwatering meal comes in several varieties such as ayu, or sweet fish, saba or mackerel, aji or horse mackerel, sake or salmon, and tai or sea bream. On some weekends, I prefer to have noodle dishes that are equally available in tens of tastes. The restaurant serves both cold and hot noodle depending on the season and the preference of the reveler. The delicious soba is a type of noodle made from a mixture of wheat flour and buckwheat. Udon is thick noodles made from wheat flour only and served here mostly topped with mountain vegetables or fried tofu. Whenever I feel like dining in soybean dishes, the restaurant never disappoints me. I always get the option of feasting on Miso soup with seaweed and sliced aburaage. I can also eat a meal they call hiyayakko which is freshly chilled tofu garnished in bonito flakes and grated ginger. The thought of pouring a little sauce of soy over the tofu as I eat leaves my stomach growling in hunger. Whenever my belly is willing but my pocket is weak, I settle on bento, a rather inexpensive meal prepared using fish, meat, vegetables and rice. Tempura or gyoza is also pocket friendly meals that the restaurant offers.

The quality of services that the staff offers in the restaurant and their courtesy has also made it my favorite joint. Once inside the eatery, the waiters usually welcome with a Japanese expression I have come to greatly love; irasshaimase. It took me a long time to understand the pronunciation of the word, which means welcome, kindly come in. Japanese are economical in words. After being led to a table, the waiter serves either free tea, water or any beverage of choice. They are also kind enough to offer wet towel or oshibori as they are known to clean the hands eating. Although the menus here are written in English, the friendly waiters are always around. When I am unsure on what to consume, I sometimes ask for recommendations or what the Japanese call osusume. Other times, I go with what the chef recommend for the day omakase. Going with the chef’s choice is sometimes a bit expensive although the meal is always worth every cent spent. There are some habits that are generally shunned in mainstream hotels here. Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen is quite flexible in its policies and unsurpisinly, customers are allowed to smoke within the premises although majority do not do so allow everyone enjoy their meals in peace. The level of honesty among the Japanese waiters is also remarkable. It is common to tip servers in American culture. When I first ate in the restaurant, I left the cashier a heavy tip because I had enjoyed the meal and their service. Two blocks down the road, my attention was attracted to somebody running after me only to realize that my tip had been refunded. Generosity is not awarded financially in Japanese restaurants.
