Ramen! Great taste and value. Can choose 200 or 300 grams of noodles for the same price. These are the fatter-style of noodles and slightly chewy. I enjoy them a lot and not always wasy to find. This was my second time and I’m sure I’ll be back. I had the スペシャルトロつけ麺 Special Toro Tsukemen for 1,100 yen. It comes with a whole onsen egg, three thin slices of pork and other veggies. I’m not sure what the “special version” but I believe it’s their own taste. They also have an “oil” Ramen and of course Miso. I really like Tsukemen style where you get the noodles served separately and you dip it into the broth - sauce yourself. The sauce is usually thicker so you get a rich taste of sauce and noodles in every bite without having to worry about the noodles getting soft while sitting in the broth for regular ramen. It’s also not as hot so eating it is pleasant.

The store clerk is easy to talk to, and if you park in the parking lot next door, you can park for free for 20 minutes, so I will use it from the next time. The taste is strong, but it was delicious to my liking.

I always stop by on my way home from the bike shop. This time, it is 300g of mega pork char siu tsukemen noodles. The char siu pork rib is super thick and filling. You can choose between 200 and 300 noodles for free. I thought I could eat 300 because the pig is big, but it was so delicious that I didn't mind it. I thought it would have been nice to have more noodles. Thank you for the meal.
