Kitakata ramen is perfect to have while drinking or after drinking.
Recently, salt ramen has also become popular.

Lately I've started eating both.

They are so close that people mistake him for the manager's grandson.
＿＿＿What else do you like about the store?
Reno-kun：Akabeko!
Yuka:That's right, Reno used to say that a lot since she was little (laughs).
For me it's the friendliness of this store.
Since I don't have many opportunities to talk to people while working from home, talking to Manager Kawamata and his wife has been a great source of comfort for me.
I feel relieved when I come here.

As a store owner, creating a store where customers feel that way is what I want to aim for.
I started working at a greengrocer when I was 16 years old, and I owe a lot to the things I learned from the owner of the store.
That dad had a really great group of people behind him.
In a store, the products are important, but the people are just as important.

Yuka:Reno used to do karate, and when the national tournament was decided you were the first to come.
He said he'd go show it to the manager and brought over the certificate.

＿＿＿Reno, did you want to show the manager your certificate first?
Reno-kun：Yes!
Manager Kawamata: When I talk to this kid, the other customers mistakenly think, "Is he the manager's grandson?" (laughs)
＿＿＿Please tell us what you would like to see from Sakauchi in the future!
Yuka: I wish green peppers were available all year round.
I'd be happy if there were other innovative menu items.
Stamina or spicy ramen might also be good.

More char siu please!

The natural way we say "See you later" to each other makes us feel like relatives.
The warm relationship between Motoki and his son and the shop is likely to continue for a long time to come.
