Kita City, Tokyo, Japan｜Hakataramen Nagahamaya Akabaneten

Nagahama Tonkotsu Ramen has a refreshing taste, so I think people in the Kanto region will enjoy it as well. It's also good because the replacement balls are only 100 yen! Cost performance is very good. Gyoza is also available for 200 yen for 6 pieces, 300 yen for 10 pieces, and there are a lot of other side menus, so it's great to order ramen at the after-party and finish it off. I was glad that the staff was prompt and didn't make me wait for a replacement. Speaking of which, it seems like PayPay is also supported, but it's a bit troublesome as it's manual (you have to tell the clerk to pay), so I think it's better to bring cash.

Visited in September 2022. I entered the store after seeing a sign in front of the store that said, ``If you order noodles, half fried rice is 150 yen.'' When I looked at the ticket vending machine, I noticed that in addition to half fried rice costing 150 yen, a regular portion of fried rice was only 250 yen! Cheap! Very happy for fried rice lovers. Order without hesitation. Please note that only cash can be used at the ticket vending machine. For ramen, I chose the Hakata shredded green onion ramen for 750 yen. The hardness is "hard". 【ramen】 ● Soup There is little animal smell, and the finish is easily accepted even by people in Tokyo. (Perhaps it has been improved for this purpose.) Still, the soup is rich and rich in the flavor of the pork bones. ● Noodles The so-called stick ramen is a thin noodle unique to Hakata ramen. Although it is light, it goes well with the rich soup and has an exquisite taste. Since the noodles are thin, they feel like they go into your body smoothly and at a good pace. ● Ingredients The shredded green onions are stir-fried (lightly fried?) and have a deep flavor. The char siu is neither thick nor thin, but it has a light seasoning that harmonizes well with the soup. There's also some seaweed, green onions, and roasted sesame seeds on top. The red pickled ginger that comes with Hakata ramen is placed in a container on the table, so you can make your own topping. This is probably because some people are not good at it. There are also mustard mustard greens and grated garlic to change the taste. ● Kaedama I had some soup left over, so I ordered a replacement. Spare balls are only 100 yen. You can buy tickets in advance from the ticket vending machine, or cash is also accepted. Additional alcoholic drinks can also be ordered with cash. 【Fried rice】 It was cooked through well and was also delicious. You can be sure it's delicious the moment you eat it. Now this price is great. The ingredients are standard fried rice with egg, chashu, and green onion. Anyway, the cooking was perfect, and it was a dish that showed the skill of the owner. [Overview] Overall it's cheap, but is it really worth that price? That's what you might think, but it doesn't mean they compromise on taste; in fact, the quality is higher than other restaurants around here. They also have lettuce fried rice, kimchi fried rice, and ramen in black, red, and pork bone soy sauce, so I definitely want to stop by again. The gyoza prices start at 200 yen for 6 pieces, which is comparable to chain stores, so I'd like to give it a try. Another favorite store has been added.

My favorite ramen restaurant that I go to quite often. When I got curious and looked at the reviews, I was surprised to see so many harsh opinions. I feel like defending it, so I'm going to write about what's good about this store. The first thing I would like to mention is cost performance. The price of the ramen + fried rice set is insane. The true value of this store is this set! It tastes good, usually. Well, if you were to ask me if I could rate it as "delicious" out of hand, I wouldn't say so, but if you consider the price, it's probably enough. Reviewers who give low ratings because of "bad taste" have too high expectations. Next, about customer service (staff). I would like to mention that there were many bad reviews regarding customer service. It's true that there are a lot of people from other countries, but everyone is efficient and there are no problems with responses. I don't know what's wrong. That's why the reviewers' expectations for this one are too high. Isn't it really cruel to expect a high level of hospitality from a restaurant that strives to offer low prices in order to compete for customer numbers? Don't you all think so? I wonder if they have the mentality that ``No matter how cheap it is, as long as it's a restaurant, we should provide the best hospitality to our customers.'' It's tough, but do your best, Nagahama-san!
