Machida, Tokyo, Japan｜RA-MEN 3SO

Delicious ramen made right in front of you. The couple running the shop spoke reasonably good English and were very helpful. Highly recommended!

Take the bus from Machida Bus Center for 10 minutes, get off at the stop called Yokomachi, and walk for 1 minute. As the name suggests, 3SO (Miso) is a miso-based ramen restaurant. The refreshing exterior with white walls looks more like a seaside cafe than a ramen shop. I chose all the toppings for the 3SO ramen. Also grilled cheese rice. It's quite voluminous. The soup is sweet, thick and creamy. It's rich and has a complex layer of flavors. The sweetness is a little different from Oyaji, another popular miso ramen shop in Machida. The medium-thick noodles go well with the delicious soup that you'll want to slurp over and over again. The bean sprouts are crunchy. The various types of chashu have a firm meaty texture and are all delicious. It's also cute that the flower wheat gluten is placed in the center of the topping. This is a ramen shop that I would like to go to again.

There is a parking lot across the road, but it feels like a monthly parking lot and the frontage is narrow and difficult to understand. However, it is saved because it is really diagonally opposite and close. Miso ramen is really delicious. The vegetables stir-fried in sweet miso are perfectly balanced and have a good aroma. It seems that there are various ramen for a limited time.
