Visit and Queue Information

It's a popular shop, so there's bound to be a line.

I think it's a good idea to be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes on weekdays and about an hour on holidays.

The sun was harsh while waiting outside, so I think it would be more comfortable to have a parasol in the summer.

Ordering and Payment

Menu

Chashu-men (Roast Pork Ramen)+Ajitsuke Tamago (Seasoned Egg)

A regular customer of Tabelog Hyakumeiten,Kokaibou'I'm sorry to bother you.

I always avoided it because it was crowded, but on this day I had plenty of time so I decided to line up.

We connected around 14:00, and at this stage there were about 15 people waiting outside and about 5 people waiting inside, so there were about 20 people waiting in total.

We entered the store around 14:30 and were seated within about 20 minutes.

When you enter the restaurant, you will be given a menu and asked to order while you wait.

This time, “Charshumen (1,290 yen)' to 'Ajitsuke Tamago (Seasoned Egg) (100 yen)I asked for the topping.

As soon as we were seated, we started eating rice bowls.

Let's get it then.

Soup

The soup is made with seafood and pork bones.Matata-type (also, you too)”.

The seafood is mainly dried sardines, and the sweetness of the pork bones and vegetables and the stock make the soup more flavorful than rich.

I used to think that the thicker and thicker the seafood and pork bones, the better, but this is a different story.

I learned that there are other types like this, and this one is really delicious and I like it.

Noodles

The noodles are medium thick and straight.

As you can tell from the yellowish color, the noodles are made from egg and have a strong, rich flavor.

The texture is smooth and chewy.

It had a presence and was satisfying to eat, but it went so well with the soup that it was gone before I knew it. .

Chashu (Braised Pork)

The char siu is melty.

It melts the moment you put it in your mouth.

This was the correct choice for chashu noodles.

Flavored egg

Ajitama (Seasoned Egg) is perfectly cooked with a melty center.

The taste was average, so it's up to you what toppings you like.

Impressions and Rating

Kokaibo, it was really delicious.

It was to the point where I regret not going because of the line.

I think it would be appropriate to describe it as having a gentle taste overall.

The owner and proprietress also have a kind atmosphere, and I think that's reflected in the ramen.

There were many factors that slowed down the turnover rate, such as fathers waiting alone because of their kindness, waiting for the representative to show up at the last minute with their families, and couples talking after they finished eating. .

I think it's worth lining up for.

I think you can reduce the probability of encountering these factors to some extent if you go on weekdays, so if it's convenient and the waiting time is short, I recommend visiting on weekdays.

They also have tsukemen, so I'm also curious about that.

You won't be able to stay too long because it's crowded, but if the timing is right, you might want to have a beer with Gyoza (Dumplings).
