Visit and Queue Information

Luckily, I was able to enter the store without waiting, but by the time I left, there was a line of about 10 people.

The customer base seems to be mostly students, as Waseda University is nearby.

The food service speed is slow, so the turnover rate is poor.

Ordering and Payment

Orders are placed orally.

You can specify the amount of noodles in 50g increments.

The Ramen

This time, we will introduce the most standard ``The Ramen (1,250 yen)” I ordered.

You can choose the amount of noodles up to 300g, and I asked for 300g.

Contains 2 pigs.

I was told that the soup would be prepared as soon as I entered the store and placed my order, so it would take some time for it to be served.

12:30 is the peak lunch time!? I thought about leaving at this point, but since I paid with PayPay and getting a refund would be a hassle, I decided to wait.

In the end, the rice bowl arrived at 13:00, and we ended up waiting for over 30 minutes.

Cole is ``garlic oil” I asked.

Yasai

The ratio of bean sprouts to cabbage is about 9:1.

The texture is crunchy.

It is topped with something like meat scraps and oil, so you can enjoy the oil salad to your heart's content.

Abura (Pork Back Fat)

Abra is served on a separate plate at Abra Call.

It's a mix of lump oil and liquid oil, and you can add it at your desired timing.

Or I think it would be good to dip the noodles.

Soup

It is a non-emulsifying to micro-emulsifying type that gives you a strong taste of pork and kaeshi.

And it has a strong salty taste.

Probably if it was caramelized it would be too salty to eat.

And the biggest disappointing point is that the soup was lukewarm.

It was overwhelmingly lukewarm, and the sticky impression of the oil was noticeable. .

The air conditioning in the restaurant doesn't work well and it's hot, but the soup is lukewarm so you can eat it without sweating.

That's too positive thinking. .

Noodles

It feels quite soft and has a chewy texture.

It has a strong wheat flavor and is my personal favorite.

pig

I think the part is a big arm, but it has a firm fleshy feel and is so soft that it can be easily loosened.

The large size is a plus, but the taste has a slightly meaty smell and taste.

It smells so bad that I think this amount is too much.

Impressions and Rating

Overall, I think the taste is a little bland.

I like noodles, but I can't stand the fact that the soup is lukewarm. .

I also felt that the operation was a little strange.

After ordering, you will be given a meal ticket, or rather a keychain, which will indicate what you are ordering, the amount of noodles, etc.

Isn't a normal meal ticket enough?

Also, the staff often wanders around to check on orders, but the inside of the store is so small that it hits your body every time they wander around, so it's especially annoying while you're eating.

I had to check the amount of noodles for Uber several times, and there were times when I seemed to have forgotten something, and since the counter was open, I could see the customers. .

Waseda itself is an area that I don't go to very often, but in terms of taste and operation, I wonder if there's a next time. .

I got the impression that it was successful because it was located in a university town.
