Located about a 2-minute walk from Tokyu Ikegami Line's "Ebara-Nakayama" station, I visited "Ida Shoten" for the first time~♪ On the way from the station to the restaurant, there is the super popular shop "Chuka Soba Tagano," which always has a crowded front. Passing by there, I arrived at Ida Shoten. There was a line of 7 customers in front of the store. A classic car "Kawasaki Z1 900" was parked in front of the store. Could it be the owner's car? Amazing! After waiting for about 10 minutes, I was seated inside. The interior had a 3x2 L-shaped counter with 5 seats facing the kitchen side, and a 4-seat counter along the wall. Looking at the menu displayed inside, the number one recommended dish was "Special Shoyu and Shio Ramen for 1,000 yen." Other options included the rich and fatty "Back Fat Shoyu, Shio, Miso Ramen for 900 yen," and the shrimp-filled wonton "Shio, Shoyu Wonton for 950 yen." The default option was the "Shoyu, Shio Ramen for 750 yen," with toppings like "Rice for 100 yen," etc. The Special Shoyu Ramen for 1,000 yen would definitely be the recommended choice for a first visit, right? On the table, there were minced garlic, black pepper, vinegar, and chili pepper available. Soon, the eagerly awaited bowl of ramen arrived. It had a pitch-black broth, with luxurious ingredients such as 4 slices of chashu, seasoned egg, green onions, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and a naruto fish cake in the center. I immediately tasted the soup! While it looked like it would be rich and delicious, the taste was based on animal broth with the umami of soy sauce coming to the forefront. It wasn't overly salty but had a well-rounded and delicious flavor profile. The noodles were slightly wavy and medium-thin, with a low water content that absorbed the soup well, creating a satisfying wheaty flavor. The chashu was made from pork shoulder, slightly rare, releasing the natural flavor of the meat with each bite. The seasoned egg had a rich and creamy yolk that blended well with the broth. The crunchy texture of the green onions and the roasted seaweed that melted in the soup added nice accents. I added a spoonful of minced garlic from the table halfway through for a fragrant and flavorful twist. Delicious! As expected, I finished every last drop of soup and every last bite of food. Despite its appearance of being dark and rich, the well-rounded and flavorful soup with high-quality ingredients made it a very cost-effective meal. I would definitely like to try the "Shio" ramen next time! Thank you for the meal. m(_ _)m

I visited Ida Shoten in Ebara-Nakano on Tuesday, September 19th at 6:00 PM. As of today, it ranks 3.73 on Tabelog's Top 5000, and it was the last stop of the day. I passed by the nostalgic Tagano area and headed to the storefront. There were no other customers at the time. I sat at the counter and ordered the soy sauce ramen for 750 yen. Starting from October 1st, the price will increase to 800 yen. The atmosphere inside the restaurant, with the background music playing on FM radio, exudes a masculine vibe, and the sole proprietor seems to be a manly figure. The interior is filled with manly goods. The ramen was served at 6:13 PM. First, I took a sip of the soy sauce-flavored soup. The strong presence of soy sauce was evident from its color. The soup, with a depth of flavor from bonito dashi, resembled an "old-fashioned Chinese soba," with a rich soy sauce base that felt like a hearty, masculine bowl of ramen. It was on the saltier side, but the aftertaste had a hint of sweetness. There was a layer of lard on the surface of the soup, which gave it a slightly thick texture, but it didn't feel greasy due to the sharpness of the soy sauce. The umami flavor was robust, and you could distinctly taste the essence of the meat. While there was a hint of chicken broth, the pork umami flavor was predominant. The noodles were medium-thin curly noodles with a smooth and chewy texture, giving off a nostalgic, slightly powdery sensation. The toppings included rare slices of chashu, menma, nori, green onions, and naruto. The chashu seemed to have been cooked aiming for a rare state but might have been taken out of the heat too early, resulting in its current state. Nevertheless, it managed to combine the best of both approaches, making it one of the most delicious chashu I've had recently. This bowl of ramen made me realize how much a ramen reflects the personality of the owner. From the restaurant's appearance and service style to the ramen itself, it exuded a masculine style. The ramen had a strong seasoning, contrasting with the nearby Hyakumeiten Tagano, which is more focused on the broth's flavor. Ebara-Nakano seems to be a luxurious place for ramen lovers. If I were to describe it in a Power Pro Baseball status, it would be a Meat B standard soy sauce ramen with strong Power B seasoning, moderate Running D proximity to the station, making it somewhat inaccessible for those outside the Jonan area, and Defense B due to its masculine and slightly smelly interior, as well as being run by a sole proprietor. Since it's a one-man operation, the taste is consistent. It has a special ability with a chance of success, perhaps due to its wide-angle hitting approach. It's like the image of Baystars' Makki, not outstanding but gives the impression of hitting well. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

"Special soy sauce ramen for 1000 yen, large size for 100 yen, extra onions for 100 yen. I had the ultimate soy sauce ramen today since I had pork belly ramen yesterday. Everything is delicious, but I might prefer the pork belly ramen after all. Of course, I finished the soup too."

This is my first visit! The ramen shop I wanted to try was crowded, so I gave up! I happened to find this place and decided to give it a try! After a short wait, I was able to get in. I ordered the special soy sauce ramen and the special salt ramen with wonton topping! It was incredibly delicious! Both the soy sauce and salt flavors were light and tasty, and the chashu and boiled egg were flavorful! The wonton had shrimp mixed in and it was amazing! It was really delicious!

I visited the restaurant right after it opened on a weekday at 11:30. Despite the typhoon, customers started coming in one after another. The owner was working efficiently by himself. I tried the special soy sauce ramen (1000 yen) and wonton (250 yen) this time. The amount of ingredients in this dish at this price point is excellent value for money. The traditional soy sauce ramen had a gentle flavor, and I couldn't help but finish the soup. The thin noodles paired well with the soup. The chashu and shrimp wonton were especially delicious. The chashu was tender and flavorful, and I think each restaurant has its own unique touch. It was one of the most delicious chashu I've ever had. The shrimp wonton was firm and worth adding. It's a popular restaurant, but I want to visit again because I'm curious about their other menu items.

I visited Idaten Shoten during my work trip to Shinagawa. There aren't many dried fish ramen options in Shinagawa, so I decided to try something different this time. When I passed by the restaurant before noon, there were already two people waiting in line. But by the time I parked my car, the line had grown longer, haha! Still, I only had to wait about 10 minutes before being seated, so it was quite quick (^ ^) They offered soy sauce, salt, and a version with back fat. I ordered the recommended special soy sauce ramen and a small side of rice (which costs the same at 100 yen!). Payment is made after your meal. The service was quick, and soon a beautiful soy sauce-colored ramen arrived. The soup was incredibly delicious – a perfect balance of lightness and rich soy sauce flavor. You could easily drink it all up. The thick noodles with back fat were great, while the regular noodles were thin. Both paired well with the soup, and I even went for the large portion. The toppings were generous, with 4 slices of pork, a seasoned egg, thick narutomaki, seaweed, and green onions. The pork had a nice meaty texture with a good amount of fat, making it a perfect match for the light soup. The rice was cooked just right and complemented the soup and toppings perfectly, enhancing its flavor. It had been a while since I had pure soy sauce ramen, and it was incredibly delicious. The salt ramen and mixed noodles also looked appetizing. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

It has a unique atmosphere, and the owner is also unique, in a good way! The ramen was delicious! At first glance, it looks thick and rich in color, but it's actually full of flavor and very tasty. The chashu was also great. I would like to try their salt ramen if I get the chance!

Visit Date: August 27, 2023 (Sunday)Visit Time: 13:30Number of Guests: 2Order: Special Soy Sauce Ramen 1,000 yenA ramen shop with a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional stall. The nostalgic soy sauce broth is loved by people of all ages. The medium-thick noodles absorb the soup well. Toppings include seaweed, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, pork chashu, and green onions. A reassuring combination that defines ramen! I enjoy changing the flavor with garlic and vinegar on the table. They also recommend the rich pork broth ramen for those who want a heartier option. Looking forward to my next visit, especially since it's in the neighborhood. It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

Chashu ramen for 900 yen, with extra noodles for 100 yen, everything was delicious! Today I had chashu ramen. It had just the right amount of pork fat, not too heavy, and very tasty! Of course, I finished all the soup too. With chashu ramen, the noodles are thick, which goes so well with the soup. I love that it comes with onions by default too.

I revisited Ida Shoten to try the back fat I was curious about last time. There were only 3 customers when the restaurant opened, so I was able to get in smoothly. Today, I decided to go all out and ordered the Special Back Fat Soy Sauce Ramen for ¥1150 and added Wonton for an extra ¥250. The special comes with 4 slices of chashu, seasoned egg, and green onions, so I decided to add everything with the wonton. The green onions here are delicious, so next time I come, I think I'll also want to add extra green onions as a topping. The ramen was served in 12 minutes. It took quite a while today, maybe because they were busy. Wow, so many toppings! There are so many toppings piled on that you can't even see the noodles. The toppings include 4 slices of chashu, about 5 wontons, bamboo shoots, green onions, onions, seasoned egg, and bean sprouts at the bottom. I noticed that onions and bean sprouts are added when it's back fat ramen. The noodles were thick straight noodles with a chewy texture. They seem different from regular soy sauce ramen noodles and match well with the richness of the back fat. The soup contains back fat pieces about the same size as the onions. When you drink the soup, the sweetness of the back fat comes through. The texture of the onions is also enjoyable and goes well with the base soy sauce flavor. This is delicious - while the regular soy sauce ramen was also flavorful and delicious, this one has an addictive richness to it. The chashu today was particularly tasty and went well with the soup. On the other hand, I noticed that the green onions I liked from last time were scarce and seemed to have disappeared without me realizing. I guess adding extra green onions is a good idea. The wontons are shrimp-filled, with a firm texture rather than being springy. The skin is quite soft and smooth. It's impressive that there are 5 wontons in the bowl. Lastly, I thought garlic would go well with this richness, so I added some minced garlic from the table and finished the meal. It really complemented the flavors. Though I resisted the temptation to finish all the soup with back fat, I left the restaurant with a lingering feeling of satisfaction. I really like this place after all.

I had some business in Shinagawa-Naka-Nobu, so I searched for a delicious restaurant on Tabelog and visited this place as it was highly rated. I ordered the special soy sauce ramen. It came with four slices of chashu, a half-boiled egg, and menma, which was very luxurious. Although I can't be certain, it felt like the amount of noodles was a bit more than a regular serving! (My friend and I were so full after finishing it, we couldn't stop laughing.) Both the soup and noodles were delicious, but the chashu here was a hit for me! It was tender and had a nice meaty taste, which was just perfect. I thought I'd like to try the special salt ramen next time!

50th bowl in 2023!! Special soy sauce ramen for 1000 yen. It's been a while since I came to this nearby place. The soy sauce soup is amazing with a beautiful appearance and richness. Each ingredient goes perfectly with the noodles, and the noodles are cooked to just the right firmness. It's the best. Next, I'll challenge the salt ramen! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Ida Shoten @ Ebara-Nakanobu. "Soy Sauce Wantan Men" A nostalgic ramen with Naruto on top. The interior of the restaurant is also nostalgic. The soup has a refreshing taste with a base of dried fish broth and a mellow soy sauce flavor. The noodles are yellowish, medium-thin with a loose wave. The combination of soup and noodles is excellent. The wantan has shrimp inside, but the firm texture was a bit disappointing. The chashu is packed with meaty goodness, providing a satisfying chewy texture. While "Tagano" is popular in Ebara-Nakanobu, you can enjoy delicious ramen at Ida Shoten without needing a numbered ticket if you're willing to walk a bit further. Highly recommended! Thank you for the meal. #NoodleLover #RamenLover #Noodlestagram #Ramen #Tokyo #IdaShoten #EbaraNakanobu #GurunaviTop100 #SoySauceWantanMen #WantanMen

I visited Eida Shoten in Gotanda-Nakano after a long time. While Togano is very famous in Gotanda-Nakano, you need to come early in the morning to get a numbered ticket. So, in such times, there's another place to try. Here at Eida Shoten, it's highly rated in Gotanda-Nakano, but thankfully not as crowded. It was even selected as one of the top 100 stores in 2017. I had been thinking of visiting for a while now but couldn't make it until this first visit. The location is about a minute from the station, just a bit beyond Togano. The shop has a nostalgic feel with its curtain. I arrived 30 minutes early but no one was there. There were no rules about lining up, and since it was my first time, I didn't know what to do, so I just waited in front of the shop. Today in Tokyo, it's scorching hot, over 35°C. Just waiting made me sweat a lot. Even at the opening time of 11:30, there were only 3 people waiting. I wondered if I needed to wait for the opening. The menu offers basics like soy sauce and salt ramen, with special options like wonton and lard toppings. Soy sauce ramen ¥750, Salt ramen ¥750, Special soy sauce ramen ¥1000, Special salt ramen ¥1000, Salt wonton ramen ¥950, Soy sauce wonton ramen ¥950, Lard soy sauce ramen ¥900, Lard miso ramen ¥900, Lard salt ramen ¥900, There's even lard-only miso ramen. There were many choices that caught my eye, but since it was recommended for first-timers, I decided on the Special Soy Sauce Ramen for ¥1000. The special included 4 slices of chashu, flavored egg, and green onions. On the table were pepper, vinegar, chili pepper, and garlic. The bowl arrived in 5 minutes. The appearance was a rich-looking soy sauce soup. The toppings included the special ingredients plus bamboo shoots, fish cake, and seaweed. It was a beautifully arranged dish that stimulated my appetite. The soup looked rich, but it was surprisingly light. The umami of soy sauce was skillfully brought out in a chicken-based broth, creating a smooth and mellow taste without any sharp edges. It was tastier than I had expected. The saltiness was not as strong as it looked and could be easily finished. The noodles were medium-thick straight noodles with low water content. They had a good firmness and paired well with the soup. The chashu and flavored egg were good, but the standout was the Hiroshima-produced Takashima green onions. They had a crunchy texture, no strong onion smell, and were delicious. It turned out to be a bowl that suited my taste more than I had thought. I want to try the lard version and others next time.

We arrived at 1:30 pm and waited in line with three people. It took a while for us to find the right timing, but it was our first visit in a long time. We were torn between soy sauce and pork broth ramen, and ended up ordering the pork broth ramen. The visual presentation with chashu, green onions, onions, nori, and white sesame floating in the translucent pork broth was beautiful. The amount of pork fat was moderate, and the broth was quite tasty. The noodles were medium-thick and slightly curly, making them easy to slurp. The wontons, shaped like badminton shuttlecocks, were filled with plenty of ingredients. It was extremely delicious!

Iida Shoten's special soy sauce ramen. Oh, I really love the special soy sauce ramen here. The soup is full of umami and has a strong soy sauce flavor with a good aftertaste. The toppings and noodles complement the soup well. Other ramen dishes are delicious too, but I recommend trying the special soy sauce ramen here first.

After a long time, I was able to go out from the northern part of Yokohama, Kawasaki. But it was Shinagawa. I headed to Tagano to experience the excitement I had about six months ago in Ebara-Nakayoshi! However, when I arrived at 2:00 PM, they had run out of soup and closed... I hastily searched on Tabelog and found this place with a rating of 3.73. The exterior caught my eye when I passed by before. The master (omitted for brevity) recommended the special salt ramen, so I ordered a large portion. After finishing the meal, I read everyone's reviews and it seems like the soy sauce ramen was better. It's not easy to come across a standout salt ramen place. I might try the soy sauce ramen next time.

I ordered the special soy sauce ramen. It was light and delicious. The chashu had little fat and was thin, so I ended up eating all 4 pieces quickly. It might vary from person to person, but I love this high-quality chashu with less fat. It also tastes good with pepper, vinegar, garlic, and other condiments on the table. I visited during a weekday afternoon and there were empty seats, so it didn't seem too crowded. I don't think they provide paper aprons, so be careful.

Ida Shoten This place is one of the Ramen Top 100 shops in 2017!! The black soup is rich and delicious! The sweetness of the soy sauce is excellent. I visited Ida Shoten, a popular shop that has been selected as one of the Top 100 shops in the past and is also in the top 5000 on Tabelog. When I arrived at 13:30, there were 6 people waiting outside. We ordered the recommended Special Soy Sauce Ramen (1,000 yen) and Special Shio Back Fat Ramen (1,150 yen) and entered the shop in about 10-15 minutes. The quiet shop owner skillfully prepared the dishes, and there were many couples inside. The soy sauce ramen here is much darker than the typical soy sauce ramen! It looks rich, but when you actually drink the soup, it is not too salty and has the deliciousness and richness of soy sauce. The medium-thin noodles are easy to enjoy with the flavor of the soup. The chashu is meaty, and it's nice that they cut it on the spot. It's so delicious ❤️ The seasoned egg itself is not heavily flavored, so I ate it with the soup, and it was so flavorful!!! I drank all the soup too.

In the Shinagawa-Nakanobu area, there is a popular ramen shop called Ida Shoten. I tried the Tonkotsu Shio Ramen and the Special Shoyu Ramen (with extra noodles for an additional 100 yen). Each bowl comes with 4 slices of chashu, flavored egg, and green onions. The chashu is freshly sliced every time an order is placed, which adds to the excitement of watching it being prepared right in front of you. The soup is delicious overall, but the richness of the pork fat is especially outstanding! The chashu is well-cooked, and the marinated egg has a perfect balance of flavors. Even the menma (bamboo shoots) had no unpleasant odor, making it enjoyable even for those who are not fond of menma. The clean interior of the shop is comfortable to dine in, and the owner's hygienic practices, such as using disinfectant while cooking, are noticeable. It's recommended to visit around 1 p.m. to avoid long lines during lunchtime.

I arrived around 1 PM and there were about 7 people waiting outside. It was really hot, but luckily the area around the restaurant had good ventilation and shade, so it was relatively cool. It was unusual that they didn't have a ticket machine and you had to place your order verbally. I ordered the pork belly soy sauce ramen for ¥900. It came with green onions, firm pork belly, bamboo shoots, and seaweed. The restaurant lived up to its reputation.
