Saw this place listed as one of Tokyo’s top 10 ramen restaurants, so came in on a rainy day to try some tsukemen (ramen dipping noodles) for the first time.

The ordering machine has an English option, but it was still a bit confusing to order, so I just pressed the button with the photo of the tsukemen.

The restaurant is cosy with two counters that meet in an L shape. We were lucky to immediately snag two seats next to each other when another couple got up and left.

There are bibs tucked in the tissue dispenser (real tissues, mind you—not the flimsy mini paper napkins ve been seeing all over Japan).

Jugs of ice water and extra broth are on the counter for you to take.

The food was delicious, but very salty. I’ve been finding most dishes in Japan to be very salty. The meat was tender and soft and fatty and delicious. The noodles were so chewy and Q!

An awesome meal, a bit on the decadent heavy side, but ramen is not healthy food. Kind of pricy at 1180 yen, but there was a lot of meat and a soft boiled egg included.

I saw two ladies next to me get smaller dishes with just one piece of meat instead of two, and no egg, so I’m sure you can order less. But that wasn’t apparent on the English menu.
