Atsugi, Kanagawa, Japan｜Ogawaryu Atsugi Tsumada

This is a recently opened branch of the Setsukei Ramen chain. It stands out because it's along the street. You enter the store, purchase a meal ticket, are shown to your seat, and a staff member comes to take your meal ticket. At the ticket vending machine, you can decide on the large size (free of charge), noodles, flavor intensity, etc. You can change it by speaking to the store staff after purchasing. There are about 15 counter seats and 5 4-seater tables. It wasn't too crowded, but the bowl arrived within 15 minutes of ordering. I think the taste is delicious, but the soup has a strong salty taste. Even if I asked for it to be diluted, it was still salty. The char siu at this restaurant is soft and delicious, but it also has a strong flavor. I wish it were a little thinner. *In a sense, all the stores feel salty, so I guess there is some consistency. I was concerned about whether there was a greeting from the staff or not. Visited the store after a long time. Although it was lunchtime, it was empty. I ordered a large serving of half-chashu noodles, and the noodles were hard and light in flavor. The taste was lighter than before, but it still felt a little strong. There was [wari soup] which was not available before. This is a high point. When I added it right away, it was just right and I could really enjoy the soup. Both the noodles and chashu were delicious. I upgraded it to 5 stars because it was improved from last time. I was looking forward to going again. What bothered me a little was that even after I bought a meal ticket and sat down, the staff never came to take my ticket. He came when I called him. Maybe it's a coincidence.

I think it's a complete Japanese-style ramen based on dried sardines. The soup is mainly made from a slightly thick sardine stock with a hint of pork bone flavor. I think it's a flavor that Japanese people tend to like. The soft chashu is exquisite. The noodles are thick and filling. The inside of the store was spacious, and the chili oil and vinegar had lids, giving it a clean feel. Even women and families can enter with peace of mind. It was especially nice that they provided disposable aprons. The parking lot can accommodate about 16 cars, so it's relatively easy to get into. The taste, cleanliness, size, and service are all good.

This is a system where you purchase a meal ticket with cash from a ticket vending machine and hand it to the staff. As the name suggests, it is a dried sardine soup, and from the moment I put it in my mouth, the scent of dried sardines spread through my mouth and exited through my nose. The taste is a little salty. The noodles are thick and mix well with the soup and are delicious. You can choose the hardness of the noodles, but I chose normal. The noodles were chewy so I didn't have to make them hard. The chashu was also soft and delicious. I think the normal amount of noodles would be good enough for a woman, but my son, who is a growing boy, seemed to have a large portion and it was good. I also ordered 6 gyoza. This was also delicious and had no taste. By the way, there are a lot of vegetables in the dumplings. I can't recommend Ramen etc. to people who don't like seafood soup, but if you don't, I think it's worth a try!!
