At 10:40, 20 minutes before opening, I visited this shop which is only open on Mondays. It was a holiday, so I decided to give it a try, but to my surprise, there were already about 50 people in line before opening. I thought, when will I get to eat here, haha. The shop opened at 11:00, by 11:20 there were about 80 people in line, and they ran out of soup and stopped accepting more customers. Ridiculous! I finally got my bowl of ramen at 13:40. That's 3 hours, 3 hours! The longest wait I've had for ramen. But, the conclusion is that it was "very delicious". The Porcini Shoyu Ramen for 1,050 yen with a special topping for 400 yen was worth the wait. Unfortunately, the egg over rice was sold out, which was disappointing. The presentation of the ramen was beautiful, with the golden soup shining. The first sip of the soup was amazing, especially when the Porcini sauce mixed in. It made me realize that more than half of the cost of ramen is in the soup. The depth of flavor in the soup from a top-notch shop is truly different. The experience was similar to when I first tried the soup at Shinohara, which unfortunately closed in August 22 years ago. The richness of the chicken flavor was incredible. The blend of 7 types of soy sauce was evident in the taste. Mixing in the Porcini added even more aroma. Everything about the quality was outstanding. The 3-hour wait may have contributed to the best possible appetite condition, but still, everything was top-notch. The original noodles made by Inekasu TOKYO were excellent, with a chewy texture. The luxurious topping for 400 yen included 2 slices of duck chashu, 2 chicken meatballs, and a half-boiled egg. The chicken meatballs were particularly delicious, and the egg was perfectly cooked. Since the shop is only open on Mondays, it's not easy to visit, but I would like to try the salt ramen next time in Roppongi, even though it's a pain to wait in line. Thank you for the meal!

First visit. The store opens at 11:00, and I arrived at 9:00 on a holiday Monday to find a line already formed. I was the fifth person in line. There were sun umbrellas in front of the store, and at 10:00, they offered tea, which was a thoughtful gesture. The store has 8 seats, and I was able to get in on the first round. I ordered the Yuzu Tsukemen with an extra flavored egg, an additional slice of pork chashu, and chicken broth egg over rice. I could feel the attention to detail in the noodles, chashu, condiments, and presentation. It felt like the owner put in a lot of effort to perfect each bowl before serving it. I was even moved by the experience. If they could keep the price around 3000 yen per bowl, the line might get shorter (although it might not). I wish I could come back again. Thank you for the meal.

2023.9.18 2023-251 Enter Deer TOKYO ◎ Yama-kake Yuzu Tsukemen + Pork Slice + Simmered Egg + Treasure Tamago Rice with Truffle 1800 yen (1150 yen + 100 yen + 150 yen + 400 yen) Purchased food ticket. If there is a line, do not purchase the food ticket and go to the end. Visited Deer TOKYO in Higashikurume, open only on Mondays, with @rasseimen1977. Currently, they only serve Tsukemen. Finally tried the Yellow Falcon. Seated and greeted with "Long time no see," and joked that they had been waiting for me. The noodles come in two types: flat thick noodles and wide hirame-style noodles. The noodles are topped with Yama-kake made from kombu water and natural yam. The dipping sauce is a strong yuzu-flavored salt base. Toppings include green onions, separate plate of seaweed, and homemade yuzu pepper paste. They blend Yellow Cordial with the dipping sauce. The simmered egg is delicious. The chashu is tender pork shoulder cooked at low temperature. Deer's special Tamago Kake Gohan has a perfect blend of truffle aroma and sauce, thoroughly mixed and finished. They mentioned that the special toppings are not yet complete, so I must revisit when they are. Thank you for the meal. #Ramen #Tsukemen #DeerTOKYO #RamenMemoirs #NoodleStagram #Higashikurume, Tokyo #ExperimentalNoodlesLift #ChashuLift

"Mountain Citrus Tsukemen Cold 1150 yen + Porcini Mushroom Tsukemen 1200 yen + Yuzu Ham Cutlet Sandwich 400 yen. 261st bowl in 2023. First visit. Time from ordering to serving: 86 minutes. Weekday 10:02, 7 people in line, 30-minute wait, 25 people when it opened, around 10. Highlights: Main store open only on Mondays. Cold tsukemen introduced from 9/4! The attention to detail by the owner is evident in the ambiance. Special dish not yet available, delicious Yuzu Ham Cutlet Sandwich! Today's experience: Noodles are hand-pressed, refreshing with ice water, addicting. Probably made by Sanawa Noodle Factory (supplier seen entering). Just salt and homemade yuzu pepper are good enough. Noodles can be finished with just kelp water and natural yam. The cold dipping sauce with a crisp yuzu flavor is invigorating. The sauce is delicious on its own. The accompanying meat is of high quality, no flaws. Thank you for the wonderful meal!"

I arrived around 10:30 am. It was my first time here. I entered the restaurant around 11:40 am, which was roughly on the second rotation. There was a considerable line forming behind me. It seems that from this month onwards, they only serve tsukemen. I ordered the Yama-kake Yuzu Tsukemen and Tamago Kake Gohan. The tsukemen came with toppings of snow salt and yuzu pepper. The yuzu pepper added a unique and delicious flavor. The noodles, topped with kelp water and grated yam, were tasty even with just salt and yuzu pepper. The cool dipping sauce was light but had a rich taste, with a complex combination of flavors. I couldn't quite figure out the base ingredients, but it was elegant and delicious. The chilled dipping sauce was perfect for the summer season. According to the blog I read, the dipping sauce remains cold even in winter. I'm glad I visited during this season.

Salt ramen & porcini soy sauce ramen. This restaurant is a super challenging place that only opens on Monday afternoons. There is also a shop in Roppongi, which is a very popular place with long lines every day. It's hard to choose between the salt and soy sauce ramen in front of the ticket machine. Unfortunately, it seems that they will stop opening on Mondays after August 28th. From September, it looks like they will change to a new restaurant instead of ramen. Looking forward to it.

I always wanted to visit this restaurant located in Spajam Japan, which is only open on regular Mondays. I happened to have a day off, so I visited around 12:20 pm. Luckily, there wasn't a long line, but I still had to wait for about 20 minutes before getting inside. The service of providing sun umbrellas and water was appreciated, but I wish they were open on other days as well. As other reviewers have mentioned, the food was indeed delicious. I would like to try their cold noodles soon, especially in this hot weather.

Arrived at Inaguma TOKYO in East Kunitachi at 09:20, thought it was too early but there were already strong players in line! There are 4 chairs available so I waited as the second person. By 10:10, there were already 8 people in line. I had Porcini Shoyu and meat rice dish at Roppongi, so today I ordered Yuzu Salt Ramen and Treasure Five-Egg Rice with Truffle. The yuzu flavor and creamy salt soup go well with the thin noodles (which are delicious on their own). Adding the separate Yellow Cordial Paste gives a nice ginger and spice accent. As for the truffle egg rice? This is amazing! The truffle flavor, sauce, rice, and egg all mix together incredibly deliciously! Next time, I'll go for Porcini Shoyu with Truffle rice for sure. Thank you for the meal! When I left, there were already 22 people waiting in the rain. Since there are chairs, it's best to line up before the opening.

Ordered the Yuzu Shio Ramen! I also felt this at "Nyujika TOKYO Roppongi", but this is already gourmet (^ ^) The refreshing taste of yuzu spreading in the mouth, the exquisite amount of salt, default toppings served separately... Consideration to have you eat it in the most delicious state!! It's amazing that you can eat this quality for 1050 yen!! Open only on Mondays, there is a high hurdle for queues even on weekdays, but it's a restaurant I want to visit again (^ ^) Thank you for the meal (^ ^)

Yuzu salt ramen with special topping of yuzu-flavored chicken broth treasure egg over rice. Located a short walk from Higashi-Kurume Station towards the west exit, this ramen shop stands out with its cute warehouse-style appearance amidst the bustling residential area filled with supermarkets and stores. The Yuzu salt ramen is truly impressive in quality. The first thing you notice when you take a sip of the soup is the sharp refreshing taste of yuzu. The base soup, while definitely showcasing the richness of chicken, also has multiple layers of umami that create a clear yet deep and flavorful broth. The noodles are straight and medium-thick, with just the right amount of chewiness. The toppings are outstanding, with flavorful duck chashu, chicken breast, pork chashu, and especially the tender chicken meatballs and finely chopped green onions that add a unique touch. The delicate and flavorful chicken meatballs and the crispy texture of the finely chopped green onions are something you don't see every day. It's almost like a gourmet plate rather than a bowl of ramen, with enough variety to enjoy for a good two hours at an izakaya. The egg over rice, with its gentle flavor of chicken broth and subtle seasoning, is elegantly prepared. The operation at this shop is exceptional, producing high-quality ramen at an impressive speed. Combined with the attentive service of the staff, the overall experience feels like a special trip, leaving you feeling delighted. The quality of the ramen, along with the exceptional experience it offers, truly makes this shop a top-notch dining destination.

On Monday around 1 pm, there were 5 people waiting, but we were able to enter without much wait. I ordered the Porcini Soy Sauce Ramen for 1,050 yen from the ticket machine. The chashu, green onions, porcini, and ramen were served separately. It was extremely delicious.

Yuzu salt ramen for 1050 yen. Only open on Mondays, so I arrived with determination at 10:55 and there were about 18 people in line. The operation was smooth and efficient, and I got my bowl at 11:55. The aroma of chicken oil was really nice, but when I took a sip, I could taste the strong flavor of yuzu. The richness of the chicken and clam broth added depth to the flavor. The thin straight noodles had a smooth and delicious texture. Even without any toppings, it was tasty. The thinly sliced chashu had a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The yellow cordial had a mix of orange and spices, which was effective for changing up the flavor. The yuzu flavor was stronger than I expected, but the chicken and clam flavors were robust and delicious. The chashu portion was generous compared to the special version.

I had the Porcini Shoyu Ramen for 1050 yen with the special topping for 400 yen. I also had it in Roppongi, but I didn't notice much difference in taste. The soup has a strong chicken flavor. As the chicken oil diminishes, the clam broth becomes more prominent. The noodles are thin and straight, soaking up the soup well. The chashu has duck breast added to it, which is one of the best I've had. The duck breast was delicious, but the pork shoulder was a bit tough. The flavored egg was also very tasty, with a distinct egg flavor.

Today, the weather forecast predicted 37 degrees Celsius, so I brought a folding umbrella with me. However, I realized that I might be one of the first in line as I am expected to arrive after 9:00 am. I also remembered that the store had a few umbrellas available, so I regretted bringing unnecessary items. I arrived at 9:15 am and was seventh in line. Shortly after, the eighth person arrived, filling up all the seats. The umbrellas at the store were sold out, so I was glad I brought my own. Waiting in line under the scorching sun until the store opened at 11:00 am was tough, but the ramen was definitely worth the wait. Thank you for the delicious meal.

-Porcini soy sauce ramen ¥1,050 -Special toppings ¥400 In terms of taste, service, and atmosphere, everything was superb. The satisfaction level, including the lingering aftertaste after finishing the meal, knows no bounds. Visited on Monday, July 10th. The store opens at 11:00, and I arrived at 11:10. From a distance, I could see a group of about ten people holding umbrellas, forming a line, so there was no hesitation when visiting. It was quite a relief that they provided umbrellas as it was scorching hot. After waiting for just under an hour, the ramen was served. It was over 36°C that day, so just waiting was draining, but the attentive service of the staff and having the bowl in front of me made me forget about the fatigue. Thin straight noodles and a clear soy sauce broth. The soy sauce broth is made by separately boiling chicken, pork, shrimp, and shellfish broth, then blending them together, resulting in a depth of flavor that is hard to describe. Initially, I was hesitant to change the already perfect soy sauce flavor with porcini, but after trying a bit, it added a new twist without altering the base of the bowl, increasing the pace of slurping the noodles. The special toppings included duck chashu, seasoned egg, and chicken meatballs. All of them were exquisite, but the seasoned egg was exceptionally soft, maintaining its shape, and bursting with the high-quality umami of the egg. I can only imagine how delicious the egg over rice, which I hesitated to order today, would be. Dining inside the restaurant is only available on Monday for lunch, making it very difficult to visit again, but I strongly feel the desire to return whenever possible.

I arrived here on Monday at 9:45 AM, and was the first in line. By 10:08 AM, there were already 8 people lined up, the same number as the seats available inside. The shop opened at 11 AM. The owner, who usually works at the Roppongi branch, was working here in East Kunitachi on their day off. When I asked if they ever take a break, they replied, "I somehow manage to keep going." The taste was just as delicious as the Roppongi branch. Thank you for the meal.
