Have you ever woken up in the pitch black at 5 AM and driven through the snow just for a bowl of ramen? Lol

This time, we headed to Kotohirasou, a legendary winter-only ramen shop that had been recommended to us so many times by our viewers and that we'd been wanting to try for a long time!

The atmosphere was incredibly hot, with people waiting for tickets from before 8 AM.

I wonder what the long-awaited ramen actually tasted like...?

We didn't waste the wait for ramen!

We enjoyed a morning filled with the charms of Shonai, touring the local products center and munching on freshly baked local bread.

After filling our stomachs with the bowl of ramen we'd been longing for, we toured the historic silk manufacturing facility and spent some quality time as adults.

In the evening, we went to a popular conveyor-belt sushi restaurant!

Both my husband and I were deeply moved by the exquisite local fish and delicious seaweed.

Come enjoy the richness of Yamagata's Shonai region's food and culture with us on a couple's drive!

If you have any recommendations for the Shonai region, please share them in the comments!

🏡 About us, the Hiyokko couple

We inherited the vacant house of our late grandparents in Yamagata and moved there.

It's a traditional Edo-period house that's been passed down through generations... 250 years ago...

Even though it's an old house with no air conditioning and very weak shower pressure,
we're enjoying our first rural experience!

・Old House Life & Renovation
・Countryside Life & Food
・Daily Vlog

And more, we'll be sharing our experiences every day.

We hope you'll continue to watch our "freshman couple" grow!
