This is a standing room/self-service restaurant.
When it comes to shops with Tomochin, there are ``Tomochin Ramen” In addition to Shinbashi “Shinbashi New Tomochin”, Kawasaki “New Tomochin Kawasaki Station Store', to Kamata '
New Tomochin Kamata West Exit Station Store” is there.
I haven't visited Koenji and Kamata yet, so I would like to visit them someday.
Visit and Queue Information
Date of visit: A certain Saturday in May
Visiting time: around 12:00
Line: None, while I was eating there was a line of several people.
It's a standing restaurant, so the turnover rate is high.
We are open all day with no breaks, so we aim to be open between 2:00pm and 5:00pm.
Compared to Shinbashi, the queues are much smaller.
Same as last time I visited.Chuka Soba (Chinese-Style Ramen)” I received it.
How to Order
Payment method: cash only
There is a water dispenser near the cold reception area, so you can fill it up either when you have secured a seat or when you pick it up.
So I think it's a good idea to take off your earphones when you get to your seat.
One bowl of rice is free, and you will be asked for the size of the rice (large, medium, or small) when you pick it up, so if necessary, you can let us know your preferred size.
Chinese noodles + rice
This time as well, the most orthodox “Chinese noodles (750 yen)” was selected.
I asked for medium size rice.
I was called within 5 minutes of purchasing the ticket.
The combination of ramen and rice costs 750 yen, and it's a blessing in this day and age to be able to eat it in Tokyo.
Let's get it then.
Chuka Soba (Chinese-Style Ramen)
It's a regular Chinese soba, but it has a nice amount of chashu pork.
Soup
The pork flavor of the soup seems a little weak, but it has a strong richness.
I can feel the soy sauce, and personally, I like Chan-kei, which has a strong soy sauce effect, so this is my favorite flavor.
Noodles
Chan-style restaurants use Daruma Seimen noodles.
I think there may be slight differences between stores, but the taste is basically similar.
It has a slightly flat texture, has a smooth slurping sensation, and has a moderate chewiness when you bite into it.
Chashu (Braised Pork)
The char siew has an impression of being a little chewy and dry.
Try to cover up your dryness by eating soup with it.
It has a strong flavor, so it goes perfectly with rice.
Meshi
Now, let's get some free rice.
There's kappa (pickled cucumbers) on the table, so serve as much as you like.
The cooking quality is normal and I have no complaints.
green onion + rice
Personally, the way I like to eat it these days is to eat it with green onions and a little soup.
The green onions are sprinkled raw on top of the soup, and if you eat them as is, they will smell like green onions and you will probably have bad breath after eating.
Continue eating the noodles and chashu while avoiding the green onions, and towards the end, the heat of the soup will cook the green onions and you can eat them without smelling like green onions.
It is best to transfer the green onions in this state to white rice and stir in the soup.
I think you can sprinkle garlic and pepper if you like.
Impressions + evaluation
New Tomochin Jimbocho branch was delicious.
This is one of my favorite Chan-kei restaurants because the soy sauce is particularly effective.
Above all, I ate Chan-kei for the first time at Shinbashi New, and that's when I fell in love with Chan-kei.
Originally, it was only available in Koenji, but the number of stores is increasing in Shinbashi, Kawasaki, Jimbocho, and Kamata, so please try going to a store near you or in an easily accessible location.
