This is a new restaurant that opened on April 19th this year, and the owner is from the famous restaurant "Yakumo," so there has been a long line since the opening. Additionally, SUSURU praised it, so I decided to visit before it gets too crowded. The name of the restaurant, "DURAMENTEI," was named after the famous racehorse "Duramente," a dual champion horse produced by the owner of "Yakumo" and the owner of this new restaurant, who both love horse racing. The inclusion of "RAMEN" in the name shows great creativity. I arrived at 11:25 on a weekday and there were already 16 people in line. I was the 17th in line, and finally got inside at 12:15 after a 50-minute wait. I had already checked the menu and ordered the "Meat and Shrimp Wonton Noodles (Black)" for 1150 yen with an additional "Flavored Egg" for 100 yen. The interior of the restaurant has a clean L-shaped counter with 7 seats and a small cozy atmosphere. The owner and a female staff member were working, with the owner handling the cooking alone, so the service was a bit slow. After about 10 minutes of waiting and confirming that the noodles were from "Mikawa-ya Seimen," the dish was served. The dish, known as "Chin Ramen," looked different from the owner's previous restaurant. The soup was hot, which was a pleasant surprise. The soup had a strong chicken flavor at first, followed by a savory broth, creating a delicious balance. The soy sauce added a slight sharpness, but then mellowed out nicely. Towards the end, the savory broth became more pronounced, with a hint of sweetness, making it irresistible. The noodles were straight, medium-thin noodles with a square cross-section, made with whole wheat flour. They were cooked slightly firm, offering a satisfying chewiness and a good wheat flavor that paired well with the soup. The noodles' slightly rough surface helped them hold the soup, enhancing the overall experience. The chashu pork looked like pork shoulder but was likely cooked at a low to medium temperature, giving it a tender texture and rich flavor. The wontons, with two meat and two shrimp wontons, were reminiscent of the owner's previous restaurant, with a generous filling and smooth skin. The meat and shrimp provided distinct flavors and textures, complemented by a subtle seasoning that highlighted the ingredients' natural taste. The thin bamboo shoots had a crunchy texture and a strong sesame oil flavor, adding another layer of taste. The green onions also worked well with the soup and noodles. The perfectly cooked flavored egg was large, with a creamy and sweet yolk that was a highlight of the meal. Overall, this "Chin Ramen" had elements of the owner's previous restaurant but seemed to establish a new style beyond the original "Tantanmen" lineage. While I personally prefer the "Kazuya" lineage, I found this new restaurant equally charming and appealing.

The restaurant opens at 11:00 am. Two people arrived a little before opening, and one person arrived right at opening time. Until around 11:30, the restaurant was not fully packed. The dish ordered was the Black Meat and Shrimp Wonton Noodles for 1150 yen. It came with default chashu, 2 meat wontons, 2 shrimp wontons, menma, green onions, and soup. The noodles were delicious and went well with the soup. The chashu seemed to be cooked at a low temperature and was tasty. The meat wontons were round and filled with meat, very satisfying to eat. The shrimp wontons were as expected, and the menma was average. Overall, the ramen had a high level of completion.

To DURAMENTEI in Kameido. This shop opened in April this year. I wanted to go right away, but the seating is limited so I waited for a calm time, which ended up being now. I arrived 15 minutes before opening and there was already one customer ahead of me. As soon as the shop opened, more customers started to arrive. The owner trained for 2 and a half years at the famous shop "Yakumo". I ordered the Meat and Shrimp Wonton Noodles (white) for 1,150 yen. The visual presentation looked delicious. I took a sip of the soup right away. The soup has a light animal and seafood broth, but it has a thick richness and intense umami flavor. It has a subtle and elegant taste that slowly spreads. The noodles are medium-thin straight noodles with whole wheat flour from Mikawa-ya Noodle Company. They have a smooth and chewy texture with a good wheat flavor. The chashu has a satisfying bite and a flavorful taste. The wontons have a smooth and slippery skin with a dense filling. The meat has a hint of ginger and a strong umami flavor, while the shrimp is firm. The soup is of almost the same quality as Yakumo, and although they use different noodles and chashu from Yakumo, the soup, noodles, and ingredients are all at a high level and come together very well, making it very delicious. It was a satisfying bowl with a well-balanced and delicious taste.

I recently visited a new restaurant where I was able to get in without waiting in line. I ordered the meat and shrimp wonton noodles with black soy sauce. The wontons were plump and piping hot. The chashu was tender like roast beef and very delicious. The soup was rich, well-balanced in saltiness, and tasty. I will definitely be coming back!

I finally made it to the restaurant I've been wanting to visit for a while. After a summer filled with exams and little time for going out, I decided to treat myself. I accidentally ordered black soup instead of white, but was pleasantly surprised by the gentle flavor. The noodles were just right, the shrimp plentiful, the meatballs and thick slices of chashu were delicious. In my opinion, the price was worth it for the quality. Next time, I'll try the white soup!

- Store Information Currently rated 3.61 on Tabelog with 134 reviews. Opened in April this year. The owner trained at the highly popular "Yakumo" in Ikejiri Ohashi for several years. Recently featured on "Ad-machi Tengoku" in Kameido. The name "DURAMENTEI" is instantly recognizable to horse racing fans. Located along Kuramae Bridge Street, a 10-minute walk from Kameido Station North Exit. - Service and Atmosphere The interior has a counter with 7 seats. It is small but clean. The kitchen is in the back, so the cooking process is not visible. There is one elderly female staff member handling the front, providing good but ordinary service. - Taste Purchased from the ticket machine: "Niku-Ebi Wonton Noodles White (1150 yen)" and "Ajitama (100 yen)". Noodles come in white or black. It was full, and it took 7-8 minutes for the food to arrive. The presentation was beautiful and appetizing. The soup has a light chicken broth base with a subtle umami from seafood and dried ingredients. The white soy sauce-based sauce is not overly sweet and has the right saltiness. It has a high-level clear soup reminiscent of "Yakumo". The noodles are from "Mikawa-ya Seimen", a medium-thin straight noodle with whole wheat. It is firm with a rich wheat flavor. However, personally, I would prefer a noodle that clings more to the palate. Regarding the toppings: - The Kujo green onions are a good amount and finely chopped. - The Menma has a good thickness and a crunchy texture. - The Ajitama has the right saltiness and a perfectly melty yolk. - The Chashu is thick, meaty, chewy, and would be great as a drinking snack. - The Wonton has a chewy skin with a perfect thinness. The shrimp filling is plump, and the meat filling has a moderate ginger flavor. There is pepper and shichimi on the table. - Overall Impression A satisfying bowl of noodles. As expected, it had the essence of "Yakumo". However, the noodle and soup combination was not perfect. I am curious about the "black" version, so I would like to revisit someday.

I ordered the Meat and Shrimp Wonton Noodles (white). The refined and gentle white soy sauce was exquisite! The whole wheat thin noodles have an excellent aroma and slurping texture! The two types of wontons, meat and shrimp, are superb! The well-seasoned meat wonton and the plump shrimp wonton are both outstanding! Thank you for the delicious meal! (^^)

Wonton noodle soup with pork and shrimp (white) on a weekday at 12:08 with a wait for 3 people. The broth is good with a nice balance of sweetness and not too heavy. The noodles are chewy and have a unique taste. The pork slices are lightly seasoned but add a nice meaty flavor. The wontons have a hint of ginger in the pork filling and a crispy, savory shrimp filling. Both are delicious. Overall, the broth has a light taste that is hard to forget. I wonder what the black version tastes like. On the way out, I saw a line at the vegetable shop, which shows its popularity.

About a 10-minute walk from Kinshicho Station on the Hanzomon Line. Probably a bit quicker to walk from Kameido. Arrived at opening time with no wait. The interior has a counter with seats for 4 people and space for 6 more. Ticket machine to the right as you enter. Order first, then choose your seat. Food is served within 10 minutes. Came here to try the wonton noodles from a famous shop in Ikejiriohashi. Ordered the wonton noodles in white broth. They also offer a black broth option. The white broth has a delicate and gentle flavor that enhances the broth's aroma. The noodles are firm and go perfectly with the broth. The wontons, a specialty of the shop, come in two types: shrimp and pork. The shrimp is plump and the pork is juicy, both seasoned perfectly. The overall balance was great and I left very satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Yesterday, I decided to take a day off after drinking, but then my friend messaged me saying, "Are you going to work today? I have some corn for you!" I was off, but I woke up early (around 10 am) and told them I was off. They then asked me, "Want to go eat ramen?" I was excited because I had been looking at ramen shops for a while (even though I end up staying home every week), so I was lucky to receive an invitation! The first time we tried to go, there was a long line and we couldn't make it during our break time, so we gave up. The second time, a colleague beat us to it during our afternoon break, but finally on the third try, we made it! We arrived around 1 pm, when there was no line, and we got a table for two. I was really happy that we didn't have to wait in line. I ordered the Meat and Shrimp Wonton Noodles in White Broth for ¥1150 and an extra flavored egg for ¥100. The noodles arrived in 4 minutes! The soup was light on oil but had a mild white soy sauce flavor with a gentle fish broth, which was delicious. The noodles had whole wheat in them, giving them a crunchy texture. The thick slices of rare pork were tender and juicy. The large flavored egg was perfectly cooked with a nice runny yolk. The wonton skins were thick but had a good mouthfeel. The meat was flavorful and the shrimp was plump. All the toppings together would make a great snack with drinks! It wasn't too salty, just really tasty. I would definitely go back for the White broth again. Thank you for the meal!

DURAMENTEI, which opened in April 2023, is a new restaurant with a unique name. It seems like the owner is from "Yakumo" in Ikejiri-Ohashi. The specialty here is probably wonton noodles. The location is a bit far from Kameido Station, about a 10-minute walk, but it's easy to find as it's located along a main street. I arrived 15 minutes before opening and there was already one person waiting. The line started to grow quickly, reaching nearly 10 people by opening time. The restaurant has a clean and fresh feel, with a pleasant soy sauce aroma. Inside, there is only an L-shaped counter, and the ticket machine on the right side offers choices of white or black ramen. I chose the black ramen with pork and shrimp wontons. The soup had a rich and flavorful soy sauce base that paired perfectly with the animal and seafood broth. The noodles were thin straight noodles with whole wheat, offering a smooth and chewy texture. The toppings included wontons, chashu pork, menma bamboo shoots, and green onions. The wontons were the highlight, with a smooth skin and a generous filling of meat or shrimp. The chashu pork was tender and flavorful, while the menma added a nice crunch. Overall, the balance of noodles, soup, and toppings was excellent, but the wontons stood out as the most delicious part of the meal.

On weekends with good weather, I enjoy cycling on my road bike. I also like to eat delicious ramen. After researching a place that I could stop by on my way back from Kasai Rinkai Park, I decided on DURAMENTEI. I arrived on Saturday afternoon around 1 o'clock and there were 2 people waiting outside. The outside waiting area faces south, so it was hot in the sun. I ordered the Meat and Shrimp Wonton Ramen (white) for 1,150 yen. They only offer two types of wonton. The presentation was beautiful and the dish looked very appetizing. I chose the white soy sauce soup, which was gentle yet flavorful. The ingredients were of high quality, especially the shrimp wonton and chashu were outstanding. The wonton was so hot that I almost burned my mouth. Overall, it was a satisfying and delicious meal that lived up to my expectations. Thank you for the meal.

- Meat and shrimp wonton noodles (white) for 1,150 yen - Noodle extra serving for 100 yen I will have these. The fragrant deliciousness might be due to the minced meat in the noodles. When you slurp it up from the bowl's edge, there's a nice aroma, but towards the end, the sweetness becomes a bit overwhelming and you might get tired of it. Maybe I'm just fickle when it comes to food. I feel like it needs a punch of flavor. Thank you for the meal. It somehow made me really crave that famous wonton noodles from that place in Meguro. Bought two bowls from Tenjin-san ===========

(2023/08/12 revisit) 24 hours later. Yesterday, the restaurant was full shortly after opening, but on this day, there were some empty seats right after opening, possibly due to it being the middle day of a three-day weekend. Here is what was ordered: [Dish] - Meat and Shrimp Wonton Noodles (Black) + Noodle Large Size + Flavored Egg (1150 yen + 100 yen + 100 yen = 1350 yen. Used Kagawa Prefecture Shodoshima Masukin Soy Sauce, Barrel-aged Concentrated Dark Type. The soy sauce was stronger in flavor compared to the "White" version, with the expected characteristics of the "Black" version. The noodles were served piping hot just like yesterday. As with yesterday, added pepper towards the end for a different taste.) Thank you for the meal.

(First review) 2023/08/11 First visit. I arrived as the second person before the opening, but there was still some time until opening, so I took a walk around the back streets and when I returned, the store was already open, so I slipped in. It was full right after opening. There was a line outside the store. The items I ordered are as follows. [Food] ・Meat and shrimp wonton noodles (white) + extra noodles + seasoned egg (1150 yen + 100 yen + 100 yen = 1350 yen. I had the black and white mix at Yakumo in Ikejiri Ohashi and at Chin Soba Yamato in Inaricho, but recently I couldn't choose, and it wasn't mentioned here either. So, I started with the white. It uses white soy sauce from Kiyohara Soy Sauce Brewery in Ryugasaki, Ibaraki Prefecture. The soup is easy to drink as the soy sauce is not too strong. Both the meat wonton and shrimp wonton have large fillings inside, giving a satisfying feeling. Having extra noodles can get boring towards the end, so it was nice to add pepper for a change. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for lunch. The restaurant used to be Yonesan, one of the top 100 izakayas. When I arrived a little after 11 o'clock, I was seated smoothly, but soon after it was full. I ordered the shrimp and meat wonton in white Chinese noodles. It was served in about 5 minutes. The taste was very good! The seafood-based soup is very gentle but full of umami flavor! The noodles were thin and had a good chewy texture. The wontons were juicy, and both the meat and shrimp were very flavorful. It was a very delicious meal.

If there is wonton noodles on the menu, I always choose it because I love wontons. It was my first visit, so I chose the noodles with two types of wontons, meat and shrimp. I chose the white one, while my partner chose the black one. The white one has a soy sauce base with a flavorful broth, while the black one is richer and slightly salty. I prefer the white one. I forgot to add seasoned egg and seaweed toppings. I will make sure to remember next time.

Due to the influence of the typhoon, it suddenly started raining, so I thought maybe I wouldn't have to wait in line. Luckily, I was able to enter the store when two people came out. As soon as I entered, there was a ticket machine on the right side, and the interior of the store had a reverse L-shaped counter where about 8 people could sit. I handed my ticket to the friendly lady and ordered. I got permission to take photos and took some. Both the shrimp wonton and meat wonton were delicious. - Additional note: This restaurant was featured on the TV show "Ad-machi" on August 12, 2023.

Visited for the first time on a weekday evening in August 2023 at DURAMENTEI in Kameido, Tokyo. The ramen shop is named after a horse racing theme, with the owner being from Yakumo. I ordered the Meat and Shrimp Wonton Ramen (white) with an extra seasoned egg. The clear soup had a harmonious blend of various animal and seafood ingredients, with a subtle presence of bonito. The broth also featured the use of white soy sauce from Seihara Soy Sauce Brewery in Ryugasaki, Ibaraki Prefecture. The noodles, made by Mikawa-ya, were thin straight noodles with a slight whole wheat flavor, complementing the broth well. The toppings included tender chashu, two meat and shrimp wontons, menma, green onions, and the flavorful seasoned egg. The wontons were bursting with filling and had a delicious texture. Overall, a fantastic dining experience at DURAMENTEI.
