Magokorotei Niigata Station Store
Today is Friday, January 3rd.
It is also the day when I return to my home in Tokyo from my parents' house.
The year-end and New Year holidays are almost over. .
When I was asked if I did anything at my parents' house when I went back home during the year-end and New Year holidays, I was told that I hadn't done anything. .
If you don't do anything, the days just go by way too quickly. .
Even though it's so slow on weekdays. .
I usually feel gloomy at the end of the holidays, but due to the calendar, there are still two days left in 2025, the 4th (Saturday) and 5th (Sunday), so I still feel sunny.
Still, there is no doubt that it is the last day in Niigata, so to lift the mood a little, I decided to write a book at the end of my stay in Niigata.Magokorotei Niigata Station Store”.
It's a miso ramen shop that I like so much that I visit it almost every time I go back to Niigata.
I thought it would be difficult to visit this time because it was the year-end and New Year holidays, but they said they will be open from January 3rd for the New Year, so I managed to make it just in time.
I visited with my wife around 17:30 and waited for the table to be cleared before entering.
The store was almost full, so I guess everyone was looking forward to opening in the new year.
Marbled miso ramen
With the food ticket system, you purchase at the food ticket machine immediately after entering the store.
In addition to cash, the food ticket machines accepted transportation IC cards and PayPay.
I'm so grateful.
This time, “Marbled miso ramen (1,000 yen)” was selected.
Magokorotei's standard menu is ``Ginjo miso ramen (900 yen)', and back fat and spices were added to give it a richer taste.Marbled miso ramen”.
It doesn't contain char siu, so if you want char siu,Special marbled miso ramen (1,250 yen)』、『Marbled miso ramen with charcoal grilled pork (1,400 yen)” or as a topping of char siu alone.
You can see the kitchen from your seat, and the food is cooked in a wok, and the occasional pillar of fire whets your appetite.
The rice bowl was served in less than 10 minutes after being seated.
Let's get it then.
Soup
In addition to the naturally strong miso flavor and richness, the addition of back fat gives it a rich flavor.
The fried onions add richness and flavor, as well as the sweetness of the vegetables and the flavor of the meat.
Although I didn't add chashu this time, it contains plenty of vegetables and minced meat, so it's satisfying both in taste and volume.
Also, the crunchy texture of the bean sprouts is good as an accent.
Although it has a rich taste, the yuzu peel occasionally enters your mouth and refreshes you, so you can keep eating it without getting bored.
Noodles
Medium thick curly noodles.
It has a chewy texture and a slightly egg noodle-like taste.
It has a flavor that rivals thicker soups.
Impressions
『Magokorotei'It was delicious as expected.
Of course you can eat ramen inside the store, but you can also eat fried chicken from a different brand from the same operating company, Kakunaka Group.
So, I wanted to have a little more time, have fried chicken, drink beer, and finish off with ramen.
Well, let's save that for fun on our next visit.
I'm sure I'll visit again.
There are five major types of ramen in Niigata, and one of them is ``Niigata rich miso ramen” There is.
『Magokorotei” is also a type of miso ramen, but the famous miso ramen is different, so I think it might be difficult to find it in a search.
It's a restaurant that's loved by locals rather than tourists, so it's recommended for those who like these kinds of restaurants.
