I really wanted to like this restaurant. I was trying to find ramen shop last minute as we just came in from the bullet train. Saw this place on TikTok and thought it was worth it as I seen many good reviews, plus saw the experience was great as well. Now understanding that I am in a different country that Xenophobia and racism is very present. I still wanted to come and enjoy my self in spite but straight to the point. The owner was not very receptive of POC even considering I was with my Asian friend as well. He tended more to the German/ Caucasian tourist more than to us, even with me knowing little Japanese and was trying to communicate respectfully considering I am in another country.At the end of final payment, he asked the other German tourists for pictures and didn’t ask my group until my friend said/asked for it. The experience and the food was still delicious but wished the service directly from him would have been unbiased, the staff was still friendly and receptive to my broken Japanese but seemed to annoy the chef which left me to speak English even though there was sort of a language barrier with the staff. normally don’t write reviews but not a big fan of racism and xenophobia considering at the end of the day I am a paying customer. So if you’re a poc and you decide to go knowing this, good luck.
