Since it is prepared, you can enjoy it by changing the taste 😋 It's convenient because it's near the station and there are many coin parking lots around.

This is a family-style ramen shop. It's not the type that emphasizes the creaminess of pork bones, which is common in chains. However, it didn't have as much impact as the direct line, and I got the impression that it was easy to eat, for better or worse. The chashu was also delicious. Added on 8/26/2023 It was a business day on Instagram, but it was closed when I went there. That day, I rode my bicycle 280km and came home. Should I let you know in advance if I'm going to take a break? I would like to give it 1 star, but the ramen is delicious, so I will leave it at 5 stars. I'll come back later.

Yesterday, I visited New York✕New York, which is a few doors down from this store, and this store caught my eye on the way back. “A new ramen shop has opened.” Looking at the reviews, it seems like it's a restaurant supervised by the famous Furaiken, and it seems like it just opened last month... I was thinking of visiting Furaiken soon. This store is within walking distance, so I visited it today. A system where you purchase meal tickets from a ticket vending machine outside the store. If you're walking, be sure to order a beer. At most restaurants, I would finish the first bottle of ramen before it came out, so I bought two bottles in advance. There was a long line at New York✕New York, but there were no customers other than my wife and I at this store. Of course, the store is clean... Then, I ordered special ramen + char siu + char siu bowl + ramen (wife) + 2 beers. When I look at the reviews, in addition to reviews saying it's delicious, I find that the chatter between the staff is terrible, the staff are cute, it's cold, etc... Indeed, the female staff member was very cute, and the two male staff members were chatting with each other in the kitchen. Perhaps because there were no customers, the air conditioner was working really well and it was very comfortable. As long as it tastes good, I'm fine with it, so I don't care about anything else. However, despite our constant chatting, the rest of the order came out before I could finish my first beer. (ﾟДﾟ) Early (ﾟДﾟ) I liked it better than the New York✕New York salt ramen I ate yesterday. (*´Д`) The chashu rice bowl was also delicious. I got in without lining up, so it's a hidden gem. (*´Д`) I wonder if he'll become famous and become like an idiot? I don't know (*´Д`)
