Tadokoro Shoten Tantanmen Department WBG Store
Today will be held at Makuhari Messe.Beer EXPO2025” I am visiting Kaihin Makuhari to participate in a craft beer event.
After this, we will be drinking various craft beers at the event, but to avoid getting sick, let's eat our fill first.
Kaihin Makuhari Station basically has only chain stores.
I decided to think about which store to go to while heading to Makuhari Messe.
When I was thinking that it was neither this nor that, I finally realized,Tadokoro Shoten Tantanmen Department WBG Store” I decided to visit.
As you walk from Kaihin Makuhari Station towards Makuhari Messe, the last building containing a restaurant is probably WBG (World Business Garden).
Conversely, it is the building that houses the closest restaurants to Makuhari Messe.
If you miss this, you'll have to drink beer on an empty stomach, and the event starts at 18:00, so you won't have time to go back, so it's a no-brainer option.
『Tadokoro store' itself seems to be a chain restaurant famous for miso ramen, and this is a version that specializes in tandan noodles.
Also, this store seems to be the only one that sells the Tandanmen specialty version.
By the way, ``Tadokoro store' is also located in the same building.
I visited on a Saturday around 17:45 and was able to enter the store without waiting.
However, there was a live concert, an event, and a Chiba Lotte Marines game at Makuhari Messe on that day, so it was the end of the day, so when I was eating, the place was packed.
Coriander pepper miso dandan noodles
All of the menu items are tandan noodles, but there are four flavors: white sesame miso, soupless miso, shrimp miso, and sansho miso.
This time, “Coriander pepper miso dandan noodles (tax included: 1,078 yen)” was selected.
I love cilantro, so if it's on the menu, I'll order it, but out of the four flavors, I thought the one that would go best with cilantro was the one I chose.
The rice bowl arrived in just over 5 minutes after ordering.
Let's get it then.
Soup
My first impression was that the soup didn't have much of a richness from the miso, and only the numbness of the Japanese pepper remained at the bottom.
Basically, the numbness was the main thing, and the pain didn't seem that bad.
However, as your bottom gets used to the numbing sensation of Japanese pepper, you will begin to feel the richness of miso.
And the compatibility with coriander is as good as you can imagine.
The numbing and refreshing feeling of Japanese pepper matches the refreshing feeling of coriander.
The cilantro topping costs 143 yen including tax, but it's a good portion for that.
The numbness left quite a lingering aftertaste, and it affected the taste of my first or second beer after participating in the event, so be careful.
This is completely my fault though. .
Noodles
The noodles are medium thick and slightly curly.
It has a chewy texture, but I don't feel the taste of wheat.
I don't feel it, or rather, the numbness and flavor of the soup is strong, so it may be correct to say that the taste of wheat is actually erased. .
Impressions
Overall, I had the impression that I ate ramen that looked like it was in a food court.
The price of ramen itself has been rising, so it's not uncommon for ramen to cost over 1,000 yen, but to be honest, I don't want to pay 1,000 yen for this. .
The things I get praised for are the location, the amount of cilantro, and the fact that the cups are huge so you can drink water in large gulps.
If this was in a downtown area in Tokyo, I would recommend not going there, but this is Kaihin Makuhari.
The other options are chain stores, and above all, it's the building that houses the closest restaurant to Makuhari Messe, so if you have the chance, please visit.
This restaurant made me realize that location is important when it comes to restaurants, and that capital is needed to open a restaurant in a good location.
