Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜輝道家直系 皇綱家

One of the best ramen shops here in Ikebukuro. The owner is so friendly and remembers the face of it's regular costumers. You can customize your ramen according to your liking. (Hardness of your noodles, saltiness of the soup, and how much oil do you want). You can also order rice-all-you-can for just 100yen. It's a great deal for those people who loves rice a lot. I really recommend you to try and see it for yourself.

Kotsunaie is a family-run store that opened in December 2020. This is a direct branch of a store called "Kerudoka" in Nogata. Furthermore, this seems to be a lineage of the Shin-Nakano Musashi family, then a martial artist, then a Terumo family. There is also a relationship between the owner of Terumoya and the owner of Odoya, and the owner Naoe seems to have training experience at Odoya💡 It looks like you can eat high-quality family-style ramen (*‘∀‘) Just like Terumoya, there is a topping of "Kujo green onions", and the topping with a lot of green onions is also distinctive★ And within walking distance from the west exit of Ikebukuro Station. The location is very good and the business hours are long, so it's easy to visit ^^ Arrived within 8 minutes from ordering. I set everything to normal, including the hardness of the noodles. A wide black bowl on the side. The char siu that sticks out from there is really big (*´艸｀) It's truly an amazing visual. Other toppings include spinach, seaweed, and green onions. 【soup】 The soy sauce is perfect, but the pork bones are also firm and a little thick. It's not grainy, but it's a balanced type that has the animal feel of pork bones. Overall, it's quite deep and has an impact. There's also just the right amount of chicken oil. I guess you have to drink a lot because it's salty, but I can't stop holding the astragalus in my right hand (lol)💦 【noodles】 On the box containing the noodles, it says "Royal Road House." The owner, Naoe, drains the thick noodles in a flat colander. Use short straight noodles. Smooth and chewy. I personally like the texture of the surface where the powder has not completely melted. Is it a little soft by default? I felt like the soup was blending well. For toppings and shop details Currently published on the blog [Itolog]! Search for “Itolog Kotsunaie”! ! (*'▽')

I made my first visit to Ikebukuro's popular family-style ramen, Otsunaya. At the ticket vending machine, I bought regular ramen for 880 yen and refillable rice for 150 yen. I was guided to a counter seat and ordered noodles. First, rice was served, and infinite garlic and mayonnaise were added to the rice. If you don't have to wait until the ramen is served, take a bite and it will be delicious. The rice is cooked deliciously, and I feel like I can eat as many bowls as I want. After that, the ramen bowl arrived. The soup is so thick and punchy that it wakes you up, and it's delicious, and the noodles are just as delicious as the soup. The large char siew was also of a high standard, and the seaweed that soaked up the soup went perfectly with the rice!
