When I entered the restaurant, I was the only one in the restaurant, but as I was eating, it seemed like about half of the seats were occupied by 6:00 p.m.

There are only counter seats inside the store.

It's open all day long, so the crowds are spread out, and there's plenty of seating, so if you exclude lunch and dinner hours, you won't have to wait in line or wait.

Ajitama Chinese noodles

This time, we'll be introducing the most standard item, topped with flavored eggs.Ajitama Chinese Soba (1,100 yen)” I ordered.

You can choose the flavor from soy sauce or salt, so I chose salt.

The rice bowl was served in about 5 minutes after handing over the ticket.

Let's get it then.

Soup

You can clearly taste the chicken, dried sardines, and pork.

If you really taste the seafood, you can feel it, but it doesn't feel as strong as the three mentioned above.

Overall, it has a light yet rich flavor.

Noodles

The noodles are thin.

It has a crunchy texture, and when you bite into it, you can feel the flavor of wheat.

Chashu (Braised Pork)

Char siu grilled over charcoal.

This delicious char siu is fragrant, juicy, and has plenty of fat.

I think it would be easier to achieve this juicy and greasy taste with rare char siu, but I think you can achieve this flavor with a well-cooked type.

It would have been better to make this with char siu noodles.

Flavored egg

The flavored egg had an impressive yolk with a slightly sweet flavor.

Green vegetables

Contains green vegetables.

After eating more soups, noodles, char siew, etc., when I think I've gotten used to the taste, I eat green vegetables.

This will reset your mouth and allow you to fully appreciate the flavors of soup, noodles, and chashu.

Impressions and Rating

The noodles and mandarin oranges were delicious.

Of course the quality of the noodles and soup was good, but I think the chashu was especially good.

The strong and complex flavor of the soup stock is similar to the delicious ramen restaurants that have recently become popular, where a bowl of ramen costs nearly 2,000 yen.

However, the price is the same as a regular ramen shop, so I think that's why it's so famous.

There is also soy sauce that I did not try this time, and it seems that you can change the noodles to thicker noodles for an additional 200 yen, so I am also interested in these.

After that, ``Mackerel water tsukemen (1,250 yen)There is also a menu item that I am very interested in as a mackerel lover like no other, so I would like to visit again the next time I visit Nakameguro.

It's open all day with no breaks, so you can enjoy delicious ramen without lining up, so be sure to give it a try when you're in Nakameguro.

Overall: ★★★⯪☆ (3.5)
Taste: ★★★⯪☆ (3.5)
Cost performance: ★★★⯪☆ (3.5)
Revisit: ★★★⯪☆ (3.5)
