I only photographed the Ramen menu.

The menu consists of ramen, tsukemen, no soup, and limited edition.

Special ramen

This time, we followed the rule that the top left of the ticket machine indicates the restaurant's recommendation.Special Ramen (1,220 yen)” was selected.

By making it special, Ajitama (Seasoned Egg) and rare char siu will be added.

Due to the timing of the meal, which was cooking for the previous customer, the meal was served in less than 10 minutes after handing over the ticket.

Let's get it then.

Soup

The soup is made with seafood and pork bones.Matata-type”.

It gives the impression that the pork bones are stronger than the seafood, and it has a bit of a pork bone smell, or rather an animal-like smell.

I think those who are interested will be interested, and those who are not good at it will find it difficult.

Personally, I don't mind this at all.

And you can smell the yuzu here and there.

Matata-type
Oma-kei also refers to seafood and pork bones.
Since there are many restaurants selling seafood and pork bones, it came to be abbreviated as "Mata Omae Moka" or "Mata Oma Kei."

Noodles

Thin straight noodles.

You can feel the strong flavor of wheat and eggs.

It has sharp edges and a crisp texture.

Char siu ①

There are two types of char siu when you make it special, and we start with the rare char siu that is added when you make it special.

I think the part is the loin.

It has a juicy taste and tastes like eating roast pork.

Char siu ②

Next is the rose pork chashu, which also comes with regular ramen.

Because it is seared, you can feel the meat rather than the fat.

Although it has a meaty texture, it does not have a dry texture, but rather a soft texture.

Flavored egg

It has a strong, strong flavor that stands out even in thick soups.

Impressions and Rating

Menya Shono was delicious.

I also thought that thick noodles would be the only option when it came to Oma-based soups, but I personally felt that pairing them with thin noodles was innovative.

Not only was it innovative, but even though it was thin, the noodles had a strong flavor, so they went well together and were delicious.

If you look at it as a whole, Oma series has similar tastes, so I think it can be said that it is stable and doesn't miss much, but it can also be said that it doesn't hit too hard.

The thin noodles are innovative, but I can't help but think that the taste can be eaten even if you are not here. .

I recommend you to visit Ichigaya if you visit, but I don't think it's worth going all the way to Ichigaya.

Overall: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7)
Taste: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7)
Cost performance: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ (6)
Revisit: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7)
