summary

Nara's ramen is full of wonders that will immediately fit in even if you come from outside the prefecture.
It is not a taste that you have never had before and is not particularly tasty, but rather a gentle flavor that is close to the usual taste, yet somewhat habitual and repeatable.
Please come back and try ramen in Nara.
