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!

Arrived around 8:20 am on Saturday, was the 12th in line. Started writing notes around 9:10 am. The 12:15 slot was still available but had to choose the 12:30 slot due to other plans. There were about 30 people lined up behind me, possibly due to the drizzly morning or the aftermath of the previous day's typhoon affecting transportation. Last time there were around 80 people, so today was a good time to visit. The temperature was just right, perfect for ramen. Last time, my taste and smell were affected by lingering effects of COVID-19, so this was a redemption visit. I had the Special Soy Sauce Ramen for 1800 yen. The aroma was a slightly sweet chicken soy sauce broth. The noodles were on the softer side. In the Special version, the menma was replaced with fried enoki mushrooms. The wonton and chashu were delicious, but I especially liked the ruby-colored seasoned egg. Honestly, it was slightly different from my personal preference, but it was a beautifully crafted bowl of ramen. Thank you for the meal!

On Thursday, September 7, 2023, I arrived at the restaurant at 8:40 am and there were already a lot of people. The registration started before 9:30 am for the first round, which included up to 4 people, but one person had a different time slot, so I was able to slip in during the first round! I visited again around 11:20 am and entered before 11:30 am. The staff called out names and we bought meal tickets in order. It's a style where you choose your meal ticket according to your turn. Since it was my second visit, I chose the special salt flavor this time! Although I was tempted by the delicious soy sauce flavor I had before, I was curious about the salt flavor, so I went with that! Everyone waited silently without using their smartphones, probably because they were eagerly anticipating the ramen. The sight of the owner making the ramen was very meticulous, so it was understandable to watch (laughs). His technique in creating those beautiful noodle lines was truly impressive! Finally, the ramen was served! I was the fourth in line at 11:38 am, but they served two bowls at a time, so it was quick! It was so beautiful that I wanted to applaud!! Everything was delicious!!! Restaurants with ticket systems really elevate your mood and anticipation, making you feel like you have refined taste buds, but with Brevi, you simply feel that it's incredibly delicious... I felt compelled to express my gratitude for creating such a thoughtful bowl of ramen... I overheard the owner chatting with a foreigner next to me, so I felt like I could join in the conversation and share my thoughts on how delicious the ramen was! I was nervous at first and couldn't speak, but I managed to express my feelings about the delicious ramen as if I were talking to a celebrity! I'm not a morning person, so it's hard for me to get up early, but the next time I go, I want to go back to try the special soy sauce flavor!! Thank you for the meal.

I was invited to a special gathering and went to eat the limited edition corn cold raamen with sautéed mackerel. In addition to the large sautéed mackerel, there were luxurious toppings such as slow-cooked pork shoulder chashu, paprika foam, Ise Bay seaweed sauce, herb breadcrumbs, fried onions, early red, and corn tempura. I imagined a pasta-like flavor, but it was unexpectedly delicious! The cozy Japanese flavors gave a sense of comfort. Overall, it was incredibly delicious! Thank you to the owner, Mr. Yanase, and all the regular customers.

On a Saturday morning, after watching a special feature on tsukemen on a TV show, I was craving ramen. I arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 am, two hours before they opened at 9:30 am, but there were already two people ahead of me. By 8 am, there were 12 people in line. The staff started taking reservations 30 minutes earlier than planned, which was helpful. I went home and returned 15 minutes before opening time. I ordered the special ramen, which was delicious with amazing toppings like two kinds of meat, wontons, and half a boiled egg. The soup was flavorful with a chicken and kelp broth, and the noodles were thick and satisfying. It was a great meal, and I will definitely be back, though I might try the salt ramen next time.

I was invited to a special event where a surprise limited edition cold ramen dish was released called "Cold Corn Ramen with Sauteed Mackerel". Even though the dipping noodles had just finished being served, I was excited to try another cold dish! The cold corn soup was delicious on its own, with the added paprika foam and hidden truffle paste allowing for flavor variations. I ended up finishing the dish without getting bored. The pairing of white wine with the mackerel and red wine with the chashu was well thought out and enjoyable. This ramen dish transcends the genre of ramen and can be considered a noodle cuisine masterpiece! I had a great time chatting with everyone over drinks and before I knew it, I had stayed until night. Thank you to Mr. Yanase and everyone else for the amazing noodle dish and fun time! Have you ever tried a limited edition ramen from Burebi? Let me know in the comments.

Top-quality soy sauce ramen for 1800 yen. Delicious, but I prefer Afro Beats. The fried toppings are not bad, but I also want to try the menma. Limited rice bowl for 550 yen. The carrots are tasty, and I like how the egg is half hidden. However, for this price, I wish they would add better chashu. I won't be a repeat customer. Walked from the station and arrived at 9:12 am on a weekday. Surprisingly, there were 20 people ahead of me. Normally, they start taking orders at 9:30, but there was already a line, so it's best to arrive early. Secured a spot for the 12:15 seating. Need to be back 10 minutes before.

Since the opening, I had wanted to go to Ramen Break Beats, but the access was so bad that I never got to go. It's quite far from any station. While I was hesitating, it became a top-class famous shop in Tokyo, with more and more media attention. The tsukemen is only available until 8/31, so I finally mustered up the courage to go. I arrived at 8:00 and there were 5 people in line. The registration started around 9:30. They accept registrations for groups of up to 3 people. The shop has 8 seats, and they rotate in groups of 4 every 30 minutes, with a tsukemen slot at 11:30 and a ramen slot at 11:45, alternating every 15 minutes. By 8:30, the line had grown to 10 people. By 8:50, it was 20 people long. The owner arrived at 8:55. Registration started early, which was helpful. I managed to get a slot for the tsukemen at 11:30. According to Twitter, registration ended around 9:30, so I made sure to return by 11:15. We purchased our meal tickets in order of registration. I got the special tsukemen for ¥2100, with a side of mixed rice for ¥550 and a beer for ¥450, totaling ¥3100. The meal was served almost simultaneously to 4 people. The noodles were beautifully presented. Toppings included two large slices of chashu, diced chashu, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, green onions, seaweed, and sudachi. The noodles were smooth and delicious, with a nice texture. The broth was a strong and flavorful chicken-based soup with a hint of saltiness. The chashu was amazing, especially the smoked chashu made from Yamayuri pork. The diced chashu was tender and juicy, and the seasoned egg was perfectly balanced. Surprisingly, the bamboo shoots were delicious and had a unique seasoning. The meal was excellent overall, but the price was a bit high. The mixed rice was also delicious, with a subtle sweetness from the carrots and a rich flavor from the bonito flakes. Despite the high cost and the long wait, the food was undeniably tasty, and I would love to try their ramen next time.

Ramen Break Beats (Meguro, Yutenji) Finally revisited! I wanted to eat tsukemen, so I headed there in the morning and arrived at 8:59, lined up to register, and there were more than 20 people in line, it went around the corner at the intersection. Can I get the tsukemen? At 9:17, I got the last slot for tsukemen! I was the fourth in line for the 15:00 slot. Phew, that was close! I definitely can't come tomorrow, so I'm glad I made it in! Slip in, safe. - Food ticket - Special Tsukemen (soy sauce) 2,100 yen Ebisu Beer (small bottle) 450 yen Entered at 15:00, drank Ebisu beer while waiting for the bowl. I registered in the morning, barely made it for the tsukemen slot, did some remote work in between, went to another shop in Fudomae, it felt like I was at an amusement park. At 15:09, the bowl arrived. The noodles were flat, the broth was made with kombu water, menma was crunchy, smoked chashu was fragrant, and there were plenty of toppings like wonton, negi, and chashu in the rich soy sauce broth. I didn't ask for soup refills, diluted it with kombu water, and finished the soup in no time. I had a little chat with the owner, Mr. Yanase, and heard about their future limited edition plans, which made me even more excited. Thank you for the meal. The tsukemen was amazing.

I went to eat popular tsukemen. I went on August 29th, as the tsukemen is only available until the end of August and it tends to get crowded on the last day. The registration started at 9:30, but I arrived before 9:00 and there was already a line, although not as long as usual. It is common for the registration to start a bit earlier, around 9:30, to avoid complaints from the neighborhood due to long lines. There were quite a few people in line, so I was worried if there would be any openings for the tsukemen, but luckily I was able to secure the last slot at my desired time. We were asked to gather 10 minutes before our reserved time. We bought our meal tickets in the order our names were called and then waited outside again. I chose the salt flavor for my tsukemen. First, the soup with mushrooms was brought to us, followed by the beautifully arranged noodles in a kelp-infused water. We started by tasting the noodles with just the salt. The flavor of the wheat and the umami from the broth spread in our mouths. Then we dipped the noodles in the dipping sauce. The mushrooms added a nice aroma and texture, making it refreshing and easy to eat. There were also three types of chashu, popular fried enoki mushrooms, eggs, and nori, providing plenty of toppings to enjoy. Personally, I felt that the salt flavor was a bit weak. As we progressed through the tsukemen, the flavor seemed to dilute even more, so I thought it would be nice to have the option to make it a bit stronger at the beginning or to be able to add more seasoning.

2023.8.26 2023-391 Ramen Break Beats ◎ Special Salt Ramen for 1800 yen Purchased a meal ticket. Registration starts around 9 am. When there are long lines, early registration is also available. Had the salt ramen with @murasaki_taku24. The salt soup noodles were slightly firm with thin straight noodles. The noodles were on point today. Toppings included green onions, special fried enoki mushrooms, purple onions, seaweed, and a special citrus marinated chashu made from pork shoulder and loin, slow-cooked for 12 hours. The chashu block was incredibly tender and delicious. Thank you for the meal! #Ramen #Tsukemen #RamenBreakBeats #RamenMemoirs #Noodlestagram #MeguroTokyo #ExperimentalNoodles #ChashuLift
