The restaurant is located at 1-27-2 Taito, Taito-ku, Tokyo on the 1st floor of Takeshina Building. The nearest stations are Akihabara Station and Suehirocho Station. After reading positive reviews on Mairebi, I decided to visit at 6:44 PM on Saturday. I bought a ticket for salt cold noodles for 900 yen and an additional seasoned boiled egg for 100 yen at the ticket machine on the right side as soon as I entered, then handed it to the staff at the counter. There were two families at the box seats and two men at the counter when I arrived. Three more men came after I sat down. There were two male staff members. Relaxing music was playing in the background. At 6:51 PM, the salt cold noodles arrived. The noodles were curly and medium-thin with a chewy texture, which tasted delicious. The soup had a salt base with a hint of sourness, making it refreshing to drink. The chicken chashu was moist and flavorful. Slices of tomato, purple onion, bean sprouts, shredded daikon, and menma were the toppings. The seasoned boiled egg, although not very creamy, complemented the soup well. Everything was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I usually always go for the special soy sauce ramen, but I tried miso for the first time. The soup was rich. I don't usually like miso ramen, but the base soup was delicious so this was really good. The chashu was as delicious as always.

Elegant and delicate salt ramen. That's how I felt about the half portion of rice that comes with the service. The rice was shiny and smooth. Unlike other places where it can be dry and clumpy, here was different. A refined dish, I think it would be great for women too. Thank you for the meal.

This ramen eatery, quietly existing as a local gem, was a place I would normally avoid as I tended to steer clear of restaurants with a wide range of average-tasting dishes. However, upon learning about the owner's passion and the backstory of the shop, I decided to give it a try. Stepping inside, the warm wooden sign and clean interior exuded a sense of comfort. While I usually opt for soy sauce ramen, this time I went with miso. Priced at 800 yen, the ramen arrived in about 5 minutes, appearing simple at first glance. However, with the first sip of the broth, a blend of seafood and animal-based stock created a rich and flavorful taste. Though it may not have any distinct characteristics, that is the charm of this ramen. It brings out the essence of miso with excellent balance. The noodles were medium-thin, made by "Asakusa Kaikaro," with a firmness that complemented the soup well. The chashu was rolled pork belly, tender and falling apart with a touch of chopsticks. While many ramen shops emphasize "uniqueness" or "special features," this shop pursues "balance" to the extreme. As a result, every bowl is flawlessly executed and exquisite. I look forward to trying the soy sauce and salt options on my next visit, but considering the perfection of this miso ramen, it speaks volumes about the quality. With 18 years of history and success, and the passion and skill poured into each bowl, this ramen shop continues to earn the support of many. Experience the reasons behind this by tasting it yourself. Your next visit will be eagerly anticipated.

The "Refined Lifetime Special Tsukemen" costs 880 yen and comes with thick slices of chashu, spinach, sliced menma, and chopped nori on top of the noodles. The chashu is almost raw in texture, resembling a rolled pork belly, and melts in your mouth when dipped in the broth. The spinach adds a touch of bitterness, particularly in the white stem parts which are even more bitter, reminiscent of the bitterness found in Chinese broccoli stems. The noodles are served in a generous portion, featuring medium-thick straight noodles with a slightly yellow hue and a slight waviness. They are chewy and release a fragrant wheat aroma when bitten into. The soup is a balance of gentle pork bone umami and a subtle seafood aroma, with a smooth consistency that doesn't cling too much to the noodles. It's not a rich seafood-based broth, but rather a well-balanced one. Located a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station at 1-27-2 Taito, Taito-ku, Tokyo, on the 1st floor of Takeshina Building. #RefinedLifetime #SpecialTsukemen #Tsukemen #Ramen #Noodlestagram #AkihabaraGourmet #AkihabaraLunch #TokyoLunch #TokyoGourmet #LunchCrawl #Lunch #Foodstagram #LunchClub #Tabelog.

This is a ramen shop located a little over 5 minutes' walk from Akihabara Station. It is a ticket system! I had the "Shio Ramen" and the "Chashu Don". Both were delicious with classic flavors. They have a wide variety of options, so next time I will challenge a different menu item!

The nearest station is JR Akihabara Station, a 5-minute walk away. I haven't been here much lately, but when I used to live nearby, I would occasionally visit this place. This time, I used it as a place to end the night with some drinks. I purchased a salt ramen (800 yen) and chashu (300 yen) at the ticket machine and took my seat. The ramen was served in about 5 minutes. The salt ramen had a well-balanced soup made from chicken bones, pork bones, and seafood, giving it a refreshing taste without being too heavy. The noodles were medium-thin curly noodles, slightly firm, and paired well with the soup. The toppings included chashu, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and watercress. The crunchy bamboo shoots and tender chashu were great in texture. The combination of soft chashu and firm noodles made it easy to eat. Although it was meant to be the end of the night, I finished my meal and drink in no time. It had been a while since I last had this, but it was still a delicious bowl of ramen. Thank you for the meal.

Initial visit to Shio Ramen (800 yen) with extra noodles (100 yen) and a Chashu rice bowl (300 yen) came out to a total of 900 yen. The Shio Ramen was of a slightly higher standard, with a standard yet not very unique Menma topping. The portion felt a bit insufficient without the extra noodles, but the Yuzu pepper provided on the table paired perfectly with the ramen, keeping it satisfying until the end. To fill up a bit more, I also ordered the Chashu rice bowl. The topping on the ramen had a subtle liver-like taste, and the sauce was simply delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Today, my daughter and I drove to the scorching hot Tokyo! We decided to have lunch at "Suikana Issho" and try their cold ramen. When we arrived at the restaurant around 13:30 on Saturday, it was crowded but we managed to get seats at the counter. We ordered the salt cold noodles for 900 yen and my daughter added a flavored egg for 100 yen. Soon our food arrived, and we started with the soup. The cold, slightly oily, and tangy soup was delicious. The noodles were cold and had a great texture. I slurped the noodles while sipping on the soup and before I knew it, I had finished my meal almost entirely, just missing the last sip of soup (laughs). The Suikana Ramen was delicious as always today. Thank you for the meal. I was lucky to have good timing as there was a line forming as we left the restaurant.

This popular restaurant has been open since December 2005, marking its 18th year. Personally, I'm not a fan of restaurants that offer a wide variety of menus as they can often be mediocre and it can be hard to discern the quality. However, I heard about this particular restaurant and its dedication to ramen, so I decided to give it a try. When I arrived at 12:55 on a weekday, there was no line, and the restaurant, with 9 counter seats and 2 four-seater tables, had about 10 customers already seated. The wooden sign outside has a rustic charm, but the interior is clean and well-maintained, without feeling dated. The staff, consisting of 4 members, worked efficiently. I usually go for "shoyu" ramen, but this time I saw that "shio" ramen was recommended, so I ordered the "shio ramen" for 800 yen with an extra "flavored egg" topping. The ramen was served in about 6 minutes. The slightly cloudy golden soup looked inviting and tasted gentle, yet rich with umami from the blend of chicken, pork, and seafood broth. The noodles were firm with a good chew, a typical style from Asakusa Kairakurou, and paired well with the soup. The thinly sliced pork chashu was flavorful and tender, while the seasoned bamboo shoots and crunchy watercress added nice textures. The perfectly boiled flavored egg with a velvety yolk was a delight. Overall, the "shio ramen" was well-balanced and delicious without any flaws. It may lack a standout "punch" or "unique flavor", but achieving such a harmonious balance is a feat in itself. As a soy sauce ramen fan, I was impressed by the taste. I'd like to try the other flavors in the future, but for now, I think it's best to appreciate the excellence of this restaurant without comparison. The restaurant may face challenges given its variety of flavors and the effort put into each dish, but I hope they continue to excel. Thank you for the meal.

I visited around 7pm on a weekday and was able to enter without waiting in line. You can enjoy a ramen that tastes "nostalgic" from childhood. The menu expresses the manager's thoughts, showing humility and dedication. I want to try other flavors and limited editions next time. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I visited on Sunday afternoon and although the restaurant was full, the turnover was quick so I was able to be seated soon. I ordered the salt ramen. As for the taste, I don't have anything special to add as others have already written about it. My impression is "average". I felt like eating shio ramen afterwards.

Before 6 p.m. on a Saturday, I was worried about having to wait in line because the restaurant had a high rating on Tabelog, but I was able to get in right away. I was torn between getting the shio (salt) ramen, but after reading reviews, I decided to go with miso ramen topped with butter. The soup was so delicious that I could have finished every drop of it. The chashu was also tender and flavorful. Next time I go, I want to try the shio ramen as well. 🌟

Soy Sauce Ramen for 750 yen (with less noodles) and Ajitama (flavored egg) for 100 yen. I really love the gentle salt ramen here, but I decided to try something different this time and went with soy sauce. Well, this is just average. It tastes like a standard and kind of junky soy sauce ramen you would find at a beach house or on the rooftop of a department store. The flavored egg and chashu are still delicious as usual! I think I'll stick to the salt ramen here after all. I'm curious about trying the cold ramen next time.

I arrived at around 11:30 AM on a regular day and was able to get in smoothly. However, it quickly became full and there were about 5 people waiting. The taste was traditional salt ramen, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was worth the wait. The noodles were delicious though, with a simple and tasty flavor.

It's extremely hot outside. The air conditioning in the room isn't working well. I want to eat something cold. I went to eat cold ramen. I had a sophisticated Cold Salt Ramen for 900 yen with an extra flavored egg for 100 yen. It also came with tomatoes, giving it an Italian feel. You can also add a half portion of rice for lunch.

Unfortunately, the special soy sauce ramen was sold out, so I had to settle for soy sauce ramen instead. It's always delicious, but I also recommend the salt ramen. The dumplings were just okay. The thin noodles soaking in the soup were light yet flavorful, and it's my favorite. I'll save the cold ramen for next time. Thank you for the meal.

Suijina Isshou @ Akihabara revisited. It had been quite a while since my last visit, so I checked my previous review and realized it had been 10 years. It's amazing that this place has been able to stay open for such a long time. Based on my past experiences with miso, salt, and soy sauce flavors, I decided to go with miso this time, which has always been my favorite here. - Miso Ramen ¥850 - Bottled beer ¥530 - Menma (bamboo shoots) ¥150 - One bite of rice (complimentary) My companion was a first-time visitor and chose the salt flavor: - Salt Ramen ¥800 - Flavored Egg (Ajitama) ¥100 - Orange Juice ¥160 While waiting, we checked out the condiments on the table, such as grated garlic and what seemed to be yuzu kosho. There was also a red-colored condiment. Looking at the ticket machine again, I noticed there was a special soy sauce option, which turned out to be a seafood-based soy sauce, different from the regular soy sauce. There were also various dipping noodle options. We started with beer and Menma. The Ichiban Shibori (first pressing) beer was ice cold and delicious. The Menma was thin but good. Then our ramen arrived. The miso flavor was mild and full of umami. It was delicious. In my opinion, miso ramen is always a safe choice and rarely disappoints. The miso here was consistently tasty. Adding garlic and shichimi (Japanese seven spice) to the miso ramen was a perfect match. The noodles were medium thickness and had a lower water content, which I found to be excellent. The Chashu (pork slices) were belly meat, perfect for wrapping in rice. My companion allowed me to taste their salt ramen, which had a strong seafood broth flavor. It was delicious, but didn't pair as well with rice as the miso ramen did. Overall, I really enjoy the miso ramen here. The noodles are great. I would give the miso ramen 3.8 stars and the salt ramen 3.5 stars. I think I'll try the dipping noodles next time. If I don't visit again soon, I'll probably end up choosing miso once more haha. Thank you for the meal.

Salt ramen with seasoned boiled egg. Half rice as a service. There were several people waiting in line, but the turnover was fast, and we were able to enter the restaurant in about 10 minutes! Ramen shops with fast turnover are really great! The price is reasonable, and it's really a good ramen place. The taste is like a perfect example of salt ramen, with curly noodles. It has depth, good texture, and is perfect for a lunchtime ramen spot. They have a wide variety of options, the staff is friendly, and they are open all day! It's just fantastic! I had a very satisfying bowl! Thank you for the meal!

I ordered salt ramen. It was deeply delicious. It's not a new type of ramen, but it is carefully made and you can feel the umami flavor solidly. It has a well-balanced finish with no strong dominant taste, making it a very tasty, normal salt ramen. Also, the menu descriptions are detailed and the dishes are truly delicious as described, which makes me happy. I felt that all the menu items are made with confidence, so I want to try them all.
