Finally
The Koshien Stadium outer-area event “Koshien Ramen Festival × Menbaka” was actually held back in 2019 too, and this marks its return after five years. Last time, it seems the lineup was limited to shops from the Kansai area, but this time shops from places like Hokkaido and Niigata will also be joining, making it a rare chance to try ramen from regions you don’t often get to visit. I wonder if hardcore ramen fans will go every day and try to complete the full lineup〜😄
