My favorite ramen in Himeji! “Shinseiken(新生軒）”

2019/05/30

Diary of 588 Ramen/Udon/Soba What to eat

Do you like ramen??   I do!!!

I am often asked by the guest about “good ramen shop” around guesthouse
and my recommendation is here.  “Shinseiken(新生軒）”ramen shop!

If you like rich tonkotsu soup(pork soup), please forget about this.

This shinseiken’s ramen is based on chicken soup.   The soup is really clear,
light and tasty so  I can drink all !!!

(you can see this clear plain soup!  this is original ramen, JPY600. with wonton, JPY700. )

Since the taste is light, many locals visit after they eat izakaya even…hahaha

(gyoza also tasty!!! this picture is for 2 person volume.   1 person is JPY400.)

* caution this ramen is not halal.(contains little pork soup)

Shinseiken  Ramen shop
12:00～23:00
Closed on Thus.

good for vegetarian “Spice Suehiro”(curry)

2019/04/16

Curry Diary of 588 What to eat

Spice Suehiro, located 10 minutes walk from Himeji station
and 5 minutes walk from Himeji 588 guesthouse is now
popular for the “spice ” curry.
It is different from the japanese traditional curry (roux-based),
this Spice suehiro curry is heavily inspired by asian curry.

Anyway, I love Seichan(owner chef)’s creative chicken curry
and often go at nighttime too 🙂

He also made new menu for vegetarian recently….

Beans curry of lentils with deep fried tofu and spinach are softer texture, is blended more than 10 kinds of various spices, then recommended for vegetarians. The plates arranged with pickles, and a small salad.

If you have trouble to finding the vegetarian plate, I super
recommend this vegetarian curry!!!  🙂

●Spice Suehiro

Open 11:30～22:00
Closed: Thu.&Fri
