On Monday, June 19, 2023, at 8:53 AM, I visited Ramen Break Beats in Yutenji, the 87th of the top 100 ramen shops. I woke up early and prepared myself to line up. I'm feeling sleepy... I had high expectations as I got ready to go. Reading the reviews, my expectations increased even more. There were 11 people in line, which was a bit of a letdown considering how prepared I was. However, I was relieved that I wouldn't miss out on trying the ramen like I did at Ramen Aratame in Kuramae or Hazuki in Yukigaya-Otsuka. I made a reservation for 11:45 AM and returned around 11:20 AM. Even at 11:45 AM, I wasn't called in yet. I understand that they have to wait for the previous customers to leave, but it would be better if they didn't ask us to come back 10 minutes before. The interior had the owner's touch with DJ music playing in the background. The scratchy beats were a bit distracting, but the chicken and soy sauce soup was worth the wait. It was delicious. The chashu and flavored egg were outstanding, with a smoky flavor in the chashu from low-temperature smoking. The fried enoki mushrooms also added a nice touch. The wontons were smooth and had a great texture. I wish they had hand-pulled noodles, but even without them, the ramen was excellent. The waiting time was quite long, and the location in a residential area made it hard to visit. There was nowhere to pass the time after signing in. Overall, it was a delicious meal. Thank you.

Finally, my first visit! I arrived at the restaurant at 8:30 in the morning and lined up to sign in. There were already about 10 people ahead of me. They started signing in earlier than scheduled around 9 o'clock! I was able to make a reservation for the 12 o'clock slot! I ordered the special soy sauce ramen and limited edition rice. The ramen was absolutely beautiful, the soup was light yet flavorful, and the noodles were just the right thickness. Everything was so delicious that I couldn't help but eat in silence. The rare char siu was amazing too! The limited edition rice was covered in bonito flakes, with egg and what seemed like matsutake mushrooms mixed in the sauce. Everything was of such high quality that it was worth the wait! I will definitely come back again! However, after signing in and before my reservation time, I tried to kill time in the area around Yutenji, but there was nothing to do, even for a student from the University of the Arts. I ended up wandering around aimlessly until I found the eat-in corner at Lawson, where I spent some time. I should have done more research beforehand, haha.

I couldn't resist going back day after day because I wanted to try the limited edition "Chilled Shrimp Ramen" at Ramen Break Beats in Yutenji. This limited edition version usually comes with grilled mackerel, but this time, they topped it with my favorite Brebi's fluffy char siu. Meat lover's delight! The first sip of the soup was light and refreshing with a strong dashi flavor from the dried sardines and a hint of tanginess from the kabosu citrus. Yum! Under the char siu, there were hidden flakes of nori seaweed and fried onions, which added a nice crunch to the thin noodles. Mixing it all together, the aroma and richness of the nori enhanced the umami taste, while the crispy texture of the onions made it a delightful eating experience. Adding the basil paste on the side halfway through transformed the soup into an oily broth, increasing the satisfaction. The crunchy texture of the early red radish was also enjoyable, providing a variety of flavors and textures throughout the meal. It's amazing how they can create such a delicious dish without using animal-based dashi that doesn't get boring. This bowl truly showcased the owner's unwavering commitment to innovation. Thank you for the feast! #NoodleLover #NoodleLoverAunt #Noodlestagram #Ramen #Tokyo #RamenBreakBeats #Brebi #Yutenji #ChilledShrimpRamen #LimitedEditionRamen #LimitedTimeOffer

Arrived at 8:30 on September 13, the 8th visit and 3rd time trying their special soy sauce ramen! The owner even remembered me from last week when I came in, which made me really happy. It's not often that a ramen enthusiast like me gets recognized, so I'm thrilled. Well, I guess I'll just have to keep going back to eat more. The ramen was beautifully presented and delicious as always, even worth getting up early for! Thank you for the meal!

Ramen Break Beats @ Yutenji Special Soy Sauce Ramen
The other day, I saw Kawanishi Haruna-chan eating ramen alone at this restaurant on YouTube, and I suddenly felt like eating it too, so I went. I arrived at 9:30 am to put my name down, but the slots were already full until 1 pm. They had run out of tsukemen, so I went for the soy sauce ramen. Did the noodles change? They seemed thicker than before. I like these noodles too. The soup has a rich flavor and is delicious. The chashu, whether rare or rolled, is soft and has an exquisite taste. The Kujo green onions and fried enoki mushrooms have a nice aroma and a pleasant texture. Thank you for always serving delicious ramen. Thank you for the meal. #Noodlelover #Noodleloverlady #Noodlestagram #Ramen #ramenbreakbeats #Burebi #Yutenji #SpecialSoySauceRamen

This popular restaurant I frequent had a line forming as early as 8:30 on a weekday, with registration starting around 9:00. The special soy sauce ramen with extra rice is a favorite, and although it's not cheap, I appreciate that they prioritize maintaining the quality of their ingredients over cutting costs. I look forward to enjoying their delicious ramen in the future!

I headed to Nakameguro and walked for 20 minutes to Ramen Break Beats, a very popular restaurant. It seems they have a reservation system on Saturdays. There is no waiting area around, but there is a public bath next door. Unfortunately, it was closed on Saturdays. I returned 10 minutes before my reservation and was seated promptly. I ordered the Special Soy Sauce Ramen for 1800 yen. It had a luxurious presentation with a combination of chicken broth and chicken oil soy sauce. The chashu was different from each other, with a good balance of saltiness and rareness. There was also a smoky flavor. The ingredients were all high quality, sourced from Kyushu. The noodles were beautiful and thin straight noodles. It was delicious.

I went to Ramen Break Beats on Saturday! I arrived at 7:45 am and there were already about 5 people waiting. The line gradually increased from around 8:15 am, and by 9:00 am, there were over 20 people waiting. We were able to enter the restaurant at the designated time, and ordered the premium soy sauce ramen and limited rice (mixed rice). My companion ordered the premium salt ramen. The food was served in about 10 minutes. The mixed rice contained seasoned egg and chashu pork, with a strong umami flavor from the bonito flakes. The rice changed in flavor from start to finish, with the juiciness of the meat and the richness of the egg. The premium soy sauce ramen was visually stunning and had a sharp, clear soup that paired well with the chicken oil and noodles. The ramen had a balance of flavors with spicy leeks, crispy enoki mushrooms, different types of chashu, and a perfectly cooked wonton. The premium salt ramen had softer noodles and a more complex flavor profile, with various types of broth adding depth to each bite. The toppings were assertive, especially the seasoned egg which added a creamy texture. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lovely, making the dining experience feel like a course meal where you always wanted a bit more. The more you eat, the more you want to go back for another bowl. It was a truly satisfying and enjoyable experience. Thank you for the meal!

Surprise limited ramen "Chilled Niboshi Ramen with Grilled Saury" was offered unexpectedly, and after seeing the story, I just had to try it. I asked the owner, Mr. Yanase, and he kindly provided it. The visually appealing dish resembled refreshing sudachi soba, topped with kabosu, chashu, and grilled saury, creating a unique chilled niboshi ramen. The soup, infused with niboshi broth, combined with hidden nori under the chashu, and paprika foam added for three levels of flavor. The final foam transformed into an Italian-like taste, which was exquisite. This dish transcends the ramen genre, offering a delightful experience. I look forward to how many more limited dishes I can try before the end of the year. Have you ever tried a limited dish from Brebi? Please share in the comments!
