I’m currently snacking on fève, a Japanese snack store that recently opened in Jiyugaoka. My friend and I just happend to pass by this adorable store, and we were immediately drawn inside by the adorable decor.

The store’s concept is “Soy Beans x Sweets = Happiness”, and it is produced by Pastry Chef Hironobu Tsujiguchi. fève uses 20+ different types of soybeans and uses natural ingredients in their snacks. They put a lot of attention to detail in to each individual snack and the packaging for the snacks.

The top photo shows the flavor I tried which was a traditional snack called “Karinto”, but it has a little twist — rose-infused flavor with rose petals. It was delightful! Definitely a great choice for omiyage (souvenir) for your friends or family.

{  Seika  }

Ramen Seika

Seika is a Japanese Restaurant in Jiyugaoka that serves a variety of traditional Japanese dishes – one of which happens to be ramen. Though it may seem like just another menu item, it is absolutely a hidden gem. Their golden soup – created with chicken, fish, vegitables broth, etc is cooked for over 6hrs and is just marvelous. The chef even went so far as to use quail eggs instead of a regular eggs so that the egg yolk doesn’t change the color of the golden soup. The ramen also comes with a rice ball that you can eat on its own or eat as “Ochazuke” (boiled rice with tea) after you finish all your noodles. The dashi of the soup mixed with the black rice is just so good. Can you believe all of this is just 1000yen? To top it all off, their iced green tea was refreshing as well.

PS: I recently noticed that their lunch ramen set has gone up to 1260yen.

自由が丘の”星火”は和食のお店です。バラエティー豊かなメニューの中の隠れた逸品は、星火ラーメンです。写真だと一瞬ラーメンとは思えないかもしれませんが、鶏、魚、野菜などをじっくり6時間以上煮込んだ黄金のスープはまさに”素晴らしい”の一言です。ゆで玉子には、遠方まで仕入れに行っているこだわりのうずらを使用しています。うずらの黄身を使うことで、スープの色を濁さないようにしているそうです。

こちらのラーメンセットには、黒米のおにぎり又はラーメンのスープで頂くお茶漬けが付きます。スープのだしと黒米が良く合い、セットで1000円はとてもお得だと思います。食後は冷えた緑茶でさっぱりでした。

PS: 最近お店の前を通り過ぎたらランチのラーメンセットが1260円に値上がりしていました。
