Jajamen! Nice and simple Noodles. 3 sizes to choose from. Once you’re almost completed, make sure to crack a raw egg in it and give it to the lady. She will add some noodle brother in it for your second course.

The Jajamen noodles here are fairly overrated, nothing to write home about even if they're the supposed "originators" of this dish in Morioka, they seem to be riding this train for far too long. What was completely absurd and absolutely terrible customer service is the fact that we waited at least 45 minutes outside in the cold before we were seated, even though there were more than enough empty seats inside.There was also another 2 patrons that lined up right after us and entered the same time. Whilst they only ordered a minute before us, they managed to get their same dishes served, eaten, and paid before we even got to eat...To say we were disappointed is an understatement, would have been 2 stars for food if it weren't for the non existant customer service.

A different take on Japanese noodles, a very cosy little place, inexpensive (only 600 to 700 yen) but you will have to wait outside if you arrive at lunchtime.
