How to Order
Payment methods: cash, credit card, various electronic money, PayPay
You can also customize your ramen, such as the number of pieces of chashu and large/extra size, on your smartphone.
I think some people may be reluctant to use the QR code ordering method, but I personally didn't have any problems with the easy-to-operate screen.
Payment will be made when you leave the restaurant after your meal.
As it is a chain store, we accept various payment methods.
Pistol
This time, we will introduce the most standard ``Pistol (950 yen)” was selected.
The menu names are unique, such as Pistol, Rusted Sword, and Peace.
However, if you order Pistol, there will be a description that says it's Kansai dashi and soy sauce ramen, so I don't think you'll have any trouble ordering it.
You can choose from 0 to 5 pieces of chashu, and large portions (1.5 pieces) are free all day long, and special portions (2 pieces) are free until 4pm.
Of course, I asked for 5 pieces of chashu and a large serving of noodles, or rather, I made the selection on my smartphone.
The rice bowl was ready in about 5 minutes.
The visual of the char siu piled on top of the flower petals will whet your appetite.
Let's get it then.
Soup
You can feel the flavor of the chicken firmly, and in the second half, you can feel the taste of succinic acid from the shellfish.
The aftertaste is sweet, probably due to the vegetables.
Although it is a chain store, unlike other chain stores, the taste is better than that of a privately run store.
Noodles
Medium-thick noodles containing whole grain flour.
It has a chewy texture and you can really feel the wheat.
You can easily get a large serving (1.5 balls), so a special serving (2 balls) might have been better.
Chashu (Braised Pork)
The char siew was quite thin, giving the impression of roast pork.
It has a rare flavor where you can really feel the flavor of the meat.
If you make the shabu-shabu while the soup is still warm, it will cook a little and give you a different texture and taste, so if you don't like it a bit rare, give it a try.
It's thin, so you can easily eat 5 pieces.
If you are asked to choose between 0 and 5 pieces of char siu, are there people who don't choose 5 pieces? . ?
Of course, please order as much as you can eat. .
Impressions
Ramen Great War TOKYO was delicious.
The soup, noodles, and char siu were all of high quality.
Although it is a chain store, it is a Kansai store, so there are only 3 stores in Tokyo (Shinjuku, Suidobashi, and Kanda), so there are not that many stores, but the taste is better than chain stores.
As expected of all humans, noodles.
There are many famous ramen shops in Shinjuku, Suidobashi, Jimbocho, and Kanda, so this may not be an option. .
Please be sure to visit when you are in the area.
Especially recommended for those who avoid this restaurant because it's a chain restaurant.
