Asahikawa Miso Ramen Bankara — Restaurant in Tokyo

御徒町駅の北口から徒歩1分程度、春日通り沿いにある旭川味噌ラーメンのお店です。非常に大きく目立つ看板が掲げられているため、迷う人はまず居ないでしょう。店頭に掲げられたメニューから、非常に濃厚な味噌ラーメンを想像しがちですが、トッピングの一つである豚肉の角煮がこのラーメン店の特徴の一つであり、その角煮が濃厚な味付けで且つボリュームのある見た目であるため、ラーメンのスープの味付けは、意外にもやや軽めに感じるかもしれません。 建物の外観から1階以外にも客席があるように思いますが、実際に店内に入ると1階のみと感じるかもしれません。それほど店内は狭く、また店内の昇降用の階段が見つけづらいです。階段も狭く、少なくとも人がすれ違えるほどの広さはありません。 出入口脇に設置されている券売機であらかじめ食券を購入する必要がありますが、御徒町駅付近の春日通りは平日休日問わず混雑しているため、スペース的に購入しづらい（券売機を操作しづらい）と感じるかもしれません。休日や雨天の日などはその印象が一層増長されるでしょう。こういった状況から、車椅子等の障碍を持つ方、小さな子供連れ、大きな荷物を持っている方、大人数での利用はお勧めできません。また快適に気兼ねなく利用したい場合、日や時間がかなり限定されてしまうと思います。 濃厚な味付けの角煮がトッピングされた典型的ながら定番の味噌ラーメンが堪能できるお店ではありますが、店の構造上やや利用しづらいと感じるお店でもあります。

This is an Asahikawa-style miso ramen shop located about a one-minute walk from the North Exit of Okachimachi Station, right along Kasuga Street. With its large, eye-catching sign board, it’s very hard to miss - even for first-time visitors. From the exterior menu, you might expect an extremely rich miso broth. However, one of this shop's signature toppings is braised pork belly (Kakuni), which is richly seasoned and visually substantial. Because of that, the miso broth itself might actually taste lighter than expected to balance the flavors. The interior may look as if there is only one floor of seating, but there is actually a second floor of seating as well. The interior is quite cramped, and if there are stairs to other floors, they’re hard to locate. The staircase, if used, is narrow - definitely not wide enough for people to pass each other. You’ll need to purchase a meal ticket in advance from a vending machine near the entrance. However, since Kasuga Street near Okachimachi Station is often crowded, whether on weekdays or weekends, space around the machine can be tight and difficult to maneuver. This can feel especially inconvenient on rainy days or holidays. Because of these space limitations, this shop is not recommended for wheelchair users, families with small children, travelers with large luggage, or large groups. Even solo diners may find it more comfortable to visit during off-peak hours or on less busy days. While it serves a classic and satisfying bowl of miso ramen topped with a flavorful block of Kakuni, the overall structure and environment of the restaurant make it less than ideal for all types...

This place was a godsend for us when we were walking around the area late at night looking for a ramen place with vegetarian options. Not only that, but the lady near the door was very helpful in showing us, despite the language barrier, how to order food and gave us an English menu to look over.

The veggie ramen was so delicious. Rich flavor, great variety of veggies, delectable, thick noodles. Savory broth with garlic and...

初訪です。 最近豚骨ラーメンばかり食べていたので、本日は味噌ラーメンと思い、Google評価もそこそこだったので入ってみました。 まずは、最初なのでNo.1の角煮味噌を注文。昼はライスを無料でつけてもらえるらしく、調子に乗ってライスも注文。 外国人のスタッフの方も声を出して呼び込みをしている姿は、好感もてましたが呼び込んで入ってくれたお客さんには何か次回使える無料クーポンを渡しており、私がお店に入った時には 何ももらえませんでした。そういうのは、平等にいかないとお客さんは離れていきます。 味と角煮も申し分なく美味かったですが、その部分が残念でしたね。 また近く寄った時は違うメニューも試したいと思います。 ご馳走様でした！！

This is my first visit. I've been eating a lot of tonkotsu ramen lately, so I thought I'd have miso ramen today, and I went in because the Google reviews were decent. First of all, since it was my first time, I ordered the No. 1 braised pork belly miso. Apparently they offer free rice at lunchtime, so I got carried away and ordered rice as well. I liked the foreign staff calling out to customers, but they gave out free coupons to customers who called in, and when I entered the restaurant I didn't get anything. If things aren't fair, customers will leave. The taste and the braised pork were impeccable, but that was a shame. I'd like to try other menu items next time I'm in the area. Thank you...
