Tonight my husband and I went out for a walk and wanted to have dinner, because I didn't cook at home, so my husband invited us to enjoy culinary delights at a restaurant, called the Atariki restaurant, (Atariki Japan) this restaurant has an authentic Japanese restaurant concept, also the atmosphere inside is very typical of Japan, this restaurant is the first in Aceh, I heard that the owner is a young man from Aceh
Entering the restaurant, the waiters greeted us very friendly, they greeted the guests in Japanese with a friendly smile, I could only smile back, because actually I didn't know what they were saying hehehe.. but I thought they were saying good evening ma'am/sir, please come and have a look at the menu list,
and after I looked at the menu list I was interested in the original ramen noodles, to be honest I have never enjoyed original ramen noodles in this place, while my husband ordered Beef teriyaki and my son also ordered Doraemon cake which is Dorayaki, that's all we ordered oh yeah for drinks only green tea and lemon tea
The atmosphere in the cafe is quite busy, I think this restaurant has many fans, because maybe there has never been a Japanese restaurant here before,The favorite menu in this restaurant is ramen noodles with various variations, there are original, Beef Ramen, Tantan Ramen, Curry Ramen, Mazesoba Ramen and the most special Tori Ramen Atariki here. And I chose the original ramen noodles only because before I had tried the special Tori Ramen Atariki
After waiting for a while, our order arrived. Wow, we couldn't wait to enjoy it because we were probably hungry, hehe. Okay, first I tried the original ramen noodles.
Original Ramen Noodles
Original ramen noodles are ramen noodles made from chewy Japanese wheat, and served with broth, usually made from beef bones and given various toppings such as their signature boiled egg, seaweed and abundant pieces of chicken and some are also sprinkled with boiled sweet.
The taste of the noodles is chewy with a very savory texture of the broth, plus the sweet corn topping adds to the freshness of the noodles and the large chicken meat is cut into large, thin slices like this, I sip the broth and enjoy the chewy noodles, I like this ramen noodle, it turns out the original is no less delicious than the special one, not only me, my child also wants it hehe
I inhaled the very fresh broth and if it is not salty enough you can add Japanese soy sauce, if it is not spicy enough you can also add chili oil and there is also Japanese salt available, basically all the spices are from Japan, you can mix the flavor of the broth yourself
After tasting the ramen noodles, I also tasted a little of my husband's food, namely Beef Teriyaki with a different taste from ramen.
Beef Teriyaki
Beef Teriyaki is a beef dish cooked in Japanese teriyaki sauce and mixed with onions and other ingredients for topping. Eggs are also added and served with rice underneath which is also very soft and fluffy.
The beef is very tasty, sweet with an aromatic taste of ginger and onions, this menu is also a very popular menu here, many customers also order this beef teriyaki menu, the beef is also quite a lot, the rice is also full in one bowl plus very complete egg protein
Basically, eating this one bowl will make you very full, perfect for hungry couples. At 35,000 rupiah per portion, it's quite cheap for such a large and delicious menu, right?
We didn't forget to drink the drinks, fresh drinks that were only available in 2 types, green tea and lemon tea, after our heavy meal we enjoyed these fresh drinks.
Next, we will enjoy the snacks that my child ordered, namely Dorayaki with melted chocolate jam.
Dorayaki
Dorayaki is a traditional round Japanese cake filled with various kinds of jam inside, the most popular are red bean jam, chocolate jam, and tiramisu jam, but my son chose melted chocolate jam.
Dorayaki cake with a soft, sweet taste and is also very fluffy, sandwiching a filling of perfectly melted sweet chocolate inside.
Enjoying the food menu at this cafe really makes us feel as if we have gone to Japan because the cafe atmosphere is very authentic, like cafes in Japan, right?
In short, I highly recommend this cafe. For those of you who are going to Lhokseumawe, Aceh and who like to eat typical Japanese food, you don't need to worry anymore. Here, there are various kinds of Japanese food available that suit your taste and the prices are also safe.
Thank you 🙂🤗
