I visited Ramen Billy, a Jiro-style ramen shop located an 8-minute walk from Kawagoe Station.

With already 9 branches in Miyagi Prefecture, it marks the first time this Jiro-style ramen chain has expanded into the Kanto region.

I ordered

The noodles, slightly thinner than typical for Jiro, were delicious.

I visited a Jiro-style ramen shop located about a 12-minute walk from Narimasu Station. It appears to be part of the Haikick chain, like the one near Tsuruse Station.

I ordered the regular ramen (with 200g of noodles) for 900 yen and chose vegetables, garlic, and oil as my free toppings.

The noodles were too soft. I usually order normal or softer noodles for tonkotsu ramen refills, but the noodles here were so soft that I’d want to order them firm next time.

I arrived right after the opening at 5 PM on Sunday and was the first there. About five minutes later, three more people showed up. It seems there’s no need to line up before opening.

I ordered a small ramen (with 200g of noodles) for 900 yen and chose vegetables, garlic, and oil as my free toppings.

I visited a ramen shop located about a 10-minute walk from Ogikubo Station.

I arrived at around 13:45 on a Sunday and found a queue of about 20 people. Due to the slow turnover rate, it took about an hour to get a seat.

I ordered the miso ramen for 950 yen and paid an additional 150 yen for a larger serving.

I visited Fukamidori, a popular ramen shop located in a remote part of Higashi-Matsuyama City in Saitama Prefecture.

It’s a branch of the well-known Yotsuba chain.

I ordered the black broth ramen (黒出汁) for 1250 yen and the moromi pork char-grilled rice bowl for 500 yen, totaling 1750 yen.

This is quite expensive for ramen.

The noodles were thin with a chewy, mochi-mochi texture.

The soup was rich, yet easy to drink; I was able to finish it all. The woman sitting next to me also drank all of her soup.

The chashu was quite delicious. You can choose between belly, shoulder, or loin cuts. I chose the loin based on a recommendation.

The char-grilled pork rice bowl had a wonderful aroma and was quite delicious.

Next time, i wanna eat white broth ramen.

I visited Menya Sho in Shinjuku, a ramen shop with a history of winning ramen awards. It’s a place that comes with high expectations.

You can choose between red miso and white miso for your ramen at Menya Sho. This time, I ordered the red miso ramen for 1000 yen, as it was the most prominently placed option on the ticket vending machine.

The noodles were curly, reminiscent of Sapporo miso ramen. They were on the firmer side, but well-suited to the soup.

The soup was rich and delicious.

The chashu was cut a bit small but was delicious. The bamboo shoots were somewhat tough to chew.

Manager Ohashi’s customer service was outstanding, demonstrating a level of dedication as if his life depended on the quality of the ramen.

Next time, I would like to try the white miso ramen.
