Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ramen Kuma

I've been wondering about it for a long time, but when it comes to ramen in Kugayama, "Tsukemen Kai" is the overwhelming presence, so if I go there, it's all there, so I skipped it. I just happened to feel like going in, and since it was my first time, I chose the recommended “Kuma Ramen”. The clear soup has a taste reminiscent of Hamadayama's Tantan-tei, and the thin noodles have a moderately firm and elegant taste. The char siu is a little thin, so it doesn't feel like it, but instead, it comes with 2 wontons, so it's a great value. The inside of the store is not so large with a long table facing the wall that can be filled with about 8 people. The atmosphere inside the store is neither good nor bad, and it is not a comfortable store, but I would like to try other menus, so I would like to visit again.

A ramen shop near Kugayama Station. There is only a counter in the store. The kitchen and seats are on the opposite side, so you may feel a little uncomfortable because of the noise behind you. The ramen has a refreshing seafood-based soy sauce flavor that goes well with thin noodles. The wontons are firm and contain ginger-flavoured ingredients. I think it has more volume than it looks.

It's hard to get a good reputation because it's a station with few restaurants, but if it were in a downtown area, it would be a good quality restaurant. I always order the tandan noodles, but the other menu items are also delicious! It's right in front of the station, so if you're nearby, be sure to check it out!
