[2025 Morioka Restaurant] Travel Guide for Pyonpyonsya, Morioka Ekimae (Updated Aug)

Representative of Morioka cold noodles [Pyonpyonsha] The soup is sweet and refreshing. The noodles are chewy rather than smooth, and are thick and elastic. The three types of kimchi go well with the beef char siu❤️ As it is a yakiniku restaurant, we were also able to try Morioka's specialty, platinum pork. I once had the super spicy bibim noodles here and couldn't eat them, so I recommend a milder option if it's your first time😊 The restaurant is spacious, and we were given a paper with our queue of 10 groups, and were called by machine about 15 minutes later. The turnover is fast, so even if there is a line, it's worth waiting👍 [Pyonpyonsha Morioka Ekimae Branch] 📍Location: Jarran Building, 9-3 Morioka Ekimae-dori, Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-23:00 No fixed holidays 💰Price per person: 2000 yen #Pyonpyonsha #Morioka #Morioka lunch #Morioka cold noodles #Morioka gourmet #Iwate gourmet #0 yen travel

When you come to Morioka, Japan, you must try the three major noodles here, one of which is the refreshing cold noodles. This time we came to Pion-Pion-Sha near Morioka Station. It is open until 11pm, making it a great place for a late-night snack. I ordered the yakiniku set meal, which comes with yakiniku and Morioka cold noodles. The portion of cold noodles is very generous, and you can choose the level of spiciness. The bowl contains half a boiled egg, shredded radish, cucumber, spicy radish kimchi, beef tendon, and the most special thing is that there is also a slice of water pear. If you come in summer, the water pear will be replaced with watermelon. Although it looks a bit out of place, it doesn't taste abrupt. The noodles are made from potato starch and flour, and are smooth, chewy and firm. The soup is made from beef bones and chicken broth, and is very clear. The sweet and sour soup has a hint of spicy radish, and the taste is so refreshing that you'll want to eat it mouthful after mouthful. #MarchGoodPlaces2025 #MoriokaFood #MoriokaNoodles #ColdNoodles #Japanese food
