Classic Nagoya fast-food combo: Sugakiya ramen, gomoku rice, and cream zenzai

This is a typical meal from Sugakiya, a long-running local chain in Nagoya, Japan.

It’s known for being cheap, quick, and nostalgic for many people. The ramen features a light tonkotsu + dashi broth, very different from richer Hakata-style ramen.

The set often includes gomoku rice (a simple seasoned mixed rice), and their signature dessert “cream zenzai” — sweet azuki beans topped with soft serve ice cream.

It might seem like an unusual combination, but it’s a beloved local classic.
