Nakano City, Tokyo, Japan｜Uzumakidori

Since Corona, there are almost no izakayas that are open late at night in the Saginomiya area, but I'm happy that this place is open until 5am. Snacks are surprisingly cheap and delicious. Mapo tofu 350 yen, mackerel simmered in miso 350 yen, Szechuan cold tofu 250 yen, etc. I had tantan noodles for ramen. It was simple, and it was delicious with plenty of finely chopped green onions and char siu. Barcode payment such as PayPay, Suica, etc. can be used as a set of payment methods.

I used it often when I was in Tokyo. The ramen I ate after finishing my work was very delicious. I especially liked the boiled eggs and chashu.

Located in Shirasagi-cho, Nakano-ku, a 2-minute walk from Saginomiya Station, this ramen shop is usually open from night until early morning. The light soy sauce ramen and the moderately rich miso ramen have a good amount of saltiness, making it a perfect ramen izakaya to finish off after drinking alcohol. Business hours are from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am (3:00 am only on Sundays), so if you want to eat ramen late at night, this is definitely recommended. As for drinks, in addition to the classic alcoholic beverages such as draft beer, highballs, and oolong hai, they also have shochu, plum wine, hoppy, Shaoxing wine, and even red wine. It is an excellent restaurant where you can drink again with a little rice menu, fried chicken and dumplings placed as a side menu of ramen. That should be it, this is not a ramen shop, but a ramen izakaya, so it is a hybrid shop that combines a ramen shop and an izakaya. I don't think there are many cases where you miss the last train on the Seibu Shinjuku line and come to Saginomiya, but if it's Saginomiya that you realize you overslept and get off in a hurry, you'll be stuck with this spiral bird until morning. There is no way to spend until morning in Saginomiya except to reveal or go to Comic Buster on the other side across the railroad tracks. If you really want to lie down, you have no choice but to head south on Nakasugi-dori, go out to Asagaya and look for a hotel. But you don't have to do that, and you'll probably be better off spending the rest of the day lounging in this whirlpool. Western music such as the Beatles is playing in the store, and there is a nostalgic and calming atmosphere, so it should be fine even if you stay there for a long time. Surprisingly, the land called Saginomiya is in an environment far removed from the night town. There are some parts that are a little different from the express and semi-express stops along the same Shinjuku line. The reason may be that there are many residential areas. By the way, going back to the ramen, the volume is a little suppressed, probably because it is supposed to be the last ramen after drinking alcohol, so even if you drink a lot at the izakaya, you can easily enter. Also, in case the first one is not enough, there are various izakaya menus with alcohol and snacks. However, this is not just a ready-made product, but a solid authentic one. We especially recommend the fried chicken and stewed beef tendon. Aside from stewed beef tendons, people tend to think that ramen and fried chicken go well together, but this is surprisingly true. It's a rich + rich image, so I tend to wonder how it goes together, but the ramen soup is light and the taste is perfect after drinking. It is seasoned so that you can digest the drunkenness in a good way, which is irresistible only with sake. Also, the curry is made with a lot of attention to detail, and it is full of vegetables and sometimes contains beef tendon. It's a taste that makes you feel like you know how it should be after drinking, and the moderate concentration will make you captivated again. It's perfect for people who have to spend the night in Saginomiya, or people who live in the neighborhood and want to eat a little ramen because cup ramen is bland and it's past 3 in the morning. More than anything else, you can eat good food with less volume, so to be honest, the feeling of guilt about eating ramen in the middle of the night is a little less. It's perfect for when you want to eat ramen in the late-night tension, and it's a convenient shop that can be used for re-drinking.
