Today is ``Chichibu Whiskey Festival 2024I was participating in a whiskey event called ``.
Enjoy the event and Chichibu to the fullest by taking the 80-minute limited express Laview from Seibu Chichibu Station.
I arrived at Ikebukuro Station.
Coupled with the fact that I had been drinking whiskey and other alcoholic beverages, I fell asleep for most of the 80 minutes of the ride, so I felt like I had arrived in no time.
In Chichibu, I drank some alcohol, including whiskey, and ate some snacks, but ended up skipping dinner.
The current time is around 22:30.
It won't take an hour to get from Ikebukuro to the station closest to my home, but it will take a while.
Time is of the essence, and it would be best to just go home.
Partly because I was feeling excited after the event, I couldn't help but think,Ramen Butayama Ikebukuro West Exit” I came to. .
I thought it would be relatively empty since it was night, but there was a line of about 10 people outside.
There was a line of about 10 people inside the store, so I guess there were about 20 people in total.
I expected to have to wait quite a while, but since I was completely in the mood for Jiro, I decided to wait in line.
If there is a line outside, wait in line first without purchasing a ticket.
Purchase your meal ticket as the line moves forward and you enter the store.
Only cash can be used at the ticket machine.
Usually ``Tokyo Ramen Yokocho store'', where you can use transportation IC cards, electronic money, and QR codes, so it's easy to forget that cash is the only option.
After purchasing a meal ticket, stand in line inside the store.
Visitor stamps are located next to the ticket vending machine, so if you have saved them up, don't forget them.
As you wait in line, the staff will collect your meal tickets.
If you prefer firmer noodles, let us know at this time.
Afterwards, you will be guided to your seat according to the staff's instructions.
This time, “Dai Ramen (Large Ramen)” Select.
Cole is ``All better』。
Since I came all the way, I decided to enjoy myself without worrying about the time, so I ordered and called as usual.
First of all, Yasai.
Cabbage has a strong presence when the ratio of bean sprouts to cabbage is around 8:2 or 7:3.
The more cabbage, the sweeter the impression.
By adding oil and a little table top to it, you can create a super healthy oil salad.
The crispness of the noodles is still intact.
It was cooked just right, not too hard and not too soft.
The pork had a mushy texture that could be called a divine pig.
The soup seemed to be more emulsified than usual, probably because it was late at night, and it felt quite mild.
Perhaps the taste differs depending on the store, or maybe it's because of the time of day, but overall the food tasted better than usual.
I can't say that there are big differences between stores like with Jiro Jiro, but there are likely to be subtle differences between stores.
I've only been to Butayama's Ikebukuro store and Tokyo Ramen Yokocho store, so I'm curious about the other stores as well.
If I have a chance, I will try eating at other stores.
By the way, there was a long wait in line, so I arrived at the bowl around 11pm and finished eating at around 11:15pm.
It had a taste of immorality, so eating it late at night may have been a factor in why I felt it was even more delicious than usual. .
Well, I walked nearly 20,000 steps at the event, and I had standing soba noodles for lunch (2 bowls...) and a little Otsumami (Snacks) and Butayama, so in terms of calories, it's probably zero. . lie
