Ramen battle in Koriyama

About 2 p.m. I ate tsuke-men with my mother for lunch at Nidaime Momiji (二代目紅葉), Koriyama which is a branch of Momiji (紅葉), Kokubunji (国分寺), Tokyo which is the main shop and which I visited with a friend of mine Rick 3 weeks ago.

I chose XXL-sized tsuke-men (特盛り) (500 g), which is rather expensive because I had to pay 1000 yen for 500 g of noodles.
(By the way, at its main shop I paid 930 yen for XXL-sized tsuke-men (特盛り), 650 g of noodles; it was a little more expensive but seemed necessary because it was located in Tokyo.)
However it tasted so good as its main shop in Tokyo, and I think it was the best tsuke-men in Koriyama, better than Koriyama Taishoken (郡山大将軒).
But opposite to me, my mother said that she liked Koriyama Taishoken.
It is sure that some do not always like what others like.

By the way, recently good ramen shops have been increasing in Koriyama city, which I do not know because I have not lived there since 2003; Koriyama Taishoken (spring '05), Ohsuka (大須賀) (end of October 'o7), Ten-shin* (天心) (no date), Momiji (end of June '09), and so on.
Koriyama is a closely contested district for ramen (ラーメン激戦区) and a fierce battle rages on...
