I had been curious about this restaurant for a while. When I went to check around noon last time, it seemed that there was an opening around 2:30 p.m. I didn't make a reservation at that time, but I felt like I could eat normally if I signed up early and went around 9:30, so I went to sign up. The slots from the opening time of 11 a.m. were already fully booked, but the next slot at 11:45 a.m. was available, so I signed up and went to work. I finished work around 10:30, killed time, and parked my car at a parking meter near the restaurant before heading to the restaurant around 11:30. There were probably still customers from the 11 a.m. slot inside the restaurant, but by around 11:40, everyone had left. After a while, my name was called, and I entered the restaurant and bought a meal ticket. Soy Sauce Ramen 1200 yen, Special Toppings 700 yen, Black Pork Rice 550 yen. This time, I chose a luxurious menu and in about 5 minutes, the soy sauce ramen with special toppings arrived! Various rare chashu slices were beautifully arranged on top, and the light soup had an oil-like chicken fat floating on it. I took a sip of the soup with a ladle... What is this soup!? The sharpness of the soy sauce! The umami of the soup! The deep umami spread on the surface oil is incredible! It's not overly salty, but the flavor is rich! The umami is rich! In soy sauce ramen soups like this, the first sip is usually very tasty, but from the second sip, you tend to get used to the flavor and it becomes flat, but this one is delicious no matter how many sips you take, with an incredibly deep umami flavor. According to the website, the soup is made from Yamagata local chicken whole chicken and bones, Makurazaki dried bonito flakes, simmered fish, and real kelp. Of course, the noodles coated in this soup are delicious. The black pork chashu, cooked at low temperature, has a fragrant aroma like charcoal-grilled. The rare chashu of black beef allows you to taste the tender rare meat and the marbling of Wagyu. However, the black pork rice was not necessary this time. The chashu in the black pork rice was also carefully made, of high quality, but since the special toppings had plenty of luxurious chashu on them, either one would have been sufficient. Anyway, the soup of this ramen was the most impressive soup I have had recently. Next time, I want to try a different ramen again.

Revisited. A ramen shop located between Oimori Station and Oimori Kaigan Station. Operates on a cash-only basis. Awarded a Bib Gourmand in the 2023 Michelin Guide Tokyo. Ranked 4th in the Ramen Ranking on Tabelog within Tokyo. A super popular shop. I felt like having delicious ramen, so I decided to go to Mugihae. There are plenty of options for tasty ramen, but since I woke up early with plenty of time one day, I thought, "Why not..." and chose Mugihae, which only opens for lunch. I started queuing around 9 a.m. to write my name on the list, so I arrived at the shop around 8:30 a.m. The queue was long, but I managed to get my name on the list. I went back home to finish some chores before heading back to the shop. I was seated a bit later than my assigned time, but that couldn't be helped. After all, the owner was still running the shop alone. Seriously... it's amazing how the owner manages everything by themselves, making three types of ramen and various side dishes, guiding customers, and clearing dishes. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen (1200 yen) with extra toppings (250 yen) and the Home-style Tuna Rice Bowl (600 yen). After trying all the ramen varieties here, I concluded that I like the shoyu ramen the most, so I chose that this time. I was a bit curious about the limited cold tsukemen, though. The ramen had a delicious soup and noodles. Especially the soup stood out, tasting more refined compared to other shops. The richness of the chicken flavor was prominent without any poultry smell. There was no rough texture on the tongue or any sensation of something sticking in the throat. It's a shoyu soup that you can comfortably finish. The noodles were a bit on the softer side, but they paired well with the soup, emphasizing the harmony between the noodles and the soup rather than the noodles alone. The ingredients were all of high quality. The seared chashu was incredibly tasty, so maybe I should add extra chashu next time? The Home-style Tuna Rice Bowl was also delicious. Seriously, this tuna is not something you'd expect from a ramen shop's side menu (laughs). The rice was not white rice but vinegared red rice. It felt like something you'd get at a sushi restaurant lol. I devoured it all, thanks for the meal. Writing my name on the list is a hassle, so I can't come here often, but when I crave delicious ramen, this place is my top choice.

Date: 2023.9.24 Homemade Ramen Baku Nae ◎ [Limited Edition] Sansho Miso Cold Tsukemen + Special Toppings + Mini Rice Bowl (Cash) + Homemade Black Pork Scallop Shumai 2350 yen (1450 yen + 700 yen + 100 yen + 400 yen) Purchased food tickets, it is a self-registration system. Around 9 o'clock, a waiting list is posted, so write in during the available time slots. A limited edition tsukemen was offered at Baku Nae, so I visited with @murasaki_taku24 for a noodle adventure, the second stop. Both the dipping sauce and noodles were cold tsukemen, with a refreshing and light sansho flavor and a hint of miso in the dipping sauce. The noodles were thin straight noodles. Toppings included cucumber and eggplant in the dipping sauce, and seaweed and flavored egg on the noodles. It was my first time adding special toppings to tsukemen, and I was asked, "Oh, special toppings?" and double-checked. The special toppings were served on a separate plate. The chashu was made from loin and shoulder loin, and the special toppings included black wagyu beef, which was delicious as always. The shumai, which I always want to eat but tend to forget, was a type packed with a dense filling and was satisfying and tasty. I poured the dipping sauce over the mini rice bowl for a light and satisfying finish. The tsukemen at Baku Nae may not be easy to come by, so if you can go while it's available, it might be worth ordering. Thank you for the meal! #Ramen #Tsukemen #HomemadeRamenBakuNae #RamenMemoirs #Noodlestagram #ShinagawaTokyo #ExperimentalNoodlesLift #ChashuLift

Due to a new store opening at Coredo Muromachi, they are currently operating with limited days and with only one staff member. I have visited several times, and personally, I think it's the most elegant ramen in Tokyo. This time, I ordered the salt ramen with the premium toppings. Although the premium toppings are a bit expensive at 700 yen, considering the deliciousness and the volume of the chashu, the price doesn't bother me. The salt ramen is refreshing yet rich, and you can keep drinking the soup. The egg seemed to be boiled for a long time, so it lacked the usual semi-soft texture, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, I was very satisfied.

【Homemade Ramen Muginae】Located in Oimachi, a regular in Tabelog's Top 100 and Michelin Guide! Be sure to arrive at 9 a.m. to write your name down for one of the 8 seats available each hour.

When I visited Omori, I went to Homemade Ramen Muginae. I arrived at 6:45 PM and was the second in line. The line kept getting longer until the registration started at 9 PM. The scallop shumai before the soy sauce ramen was incredibly delicious. The soy sauce ramen was indescribably delicious, with every ingredient being perfect. The home-style fish rice bowl was delicious even without soy sauce, and I felt sad when it was finished. Honestly, I think it's definitely worth lining up before 7 PM, so please give it a try. Thank you for the meal.

I finally visited Muginae, a place I had wanted to go to for a while but couldn't due to the hurdle of pre-booking. I went to make a reservation at 8:30 am on a Sunday, but there was already a line formed. I managed to get a slot for 13:45. Upon entering, there was a rotation of 8 people at a time. The owner handled everything alone. This time, I ordered the soy sauce ramen (¥1,200) with the premium toppings (¥700), totaling ¥1,900. The soup was light soy sauce but had a deep and elegant flavor. The noodles were thin. The Wagyu chashu was tender and had a hint of sweetness. The taste did not disappoint, living up to its high reputation with Michelin stars and long queues. Next time, I want to order the soup with dried bonito broth. Hopefully, I can take a day off on a weekday.

It was the most delicious ramen I've ever had in my life! A ramen shop that has been awarded the Bib Gourmand for 6 consecutive years. The shop name is "Muginaeju", located at 6-11-10 Minamioi, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. It's a 7-minute walk from Oimori Station. The opening hours are from 11:00 to 15:30. Make sure to check their official Twitter for updates. The waiting time starts around 9:00 AM, and a waiting board will be placed outside the shop. You need to sign up and return at the designated time. I've always wanted to go there! It's a Bib Gourmand ramen shop. I had a hard time going early in the morning, but finally, I made it this time! I arrived at the location at 8:45 AM, a bit delayed due to the rain. There was already a line, so I waited nervously for 15 minutes. I managed to get in for the 13:40 slot. It might be better to arrive earlier on sunny days since people were queuing even in the rain. I killed time at a nearby cafe until the appointed time. I finally tasted the ramen! Here are the menu items I ordered: - Salt Ramen with special toppings (1900 yen) - Soy Sauce Ramen with special toppings (1900 yen) - Saitama local egg over rice (350 yen) - Black pork rice (550 yen) Since it's a place that's hard to visit, I splurged a bit. Adding the special toppings was really worth it! The ramen was delicious, but the meat on top exceeded the usual chashu in taste! It was so delicious. I was surprised to see people coming from overseas! Getting up early was worth it for this amazing ramen. Ramen lovers, you must visit this place. Honestly, the review: Impression level: ★★★★★★ Deliciousness: ★★★★★★ Overall rating: ★★★★★★ Recommended for solo visits: ◎, with friends: ◎, for dates: ◎ On Instagram @tokyo_umauma, I share gourmet information mainly in Tokyo based on my actual visits. I also occasionally post gourmet information from my travel destinations. I would be happy if you could follow me.

I ordered soy sauce ramen with premium toppings and homemade shumai. Despite being short-staffed, the owner efficiently served my order, and it arrived faster than expected. Visually, it looked amazing! As expected from a Michelin Guide-selected restaurant for 6 consecutive years, they pay attention to every detail. When I took a sip of the soup, I could taste the rich chicken oil and the bold flavor of soy sauce, creating a delicious depth. The slightly soft and thin noodles matched perfectly with the soup. Although the premium toppings cost an additional 700 yen, each item felt carefully chosen and satisfying. The shumai at the end was filled with flavorful black pork, making it a perfect ending. Everything was delicious and exceptional. The only downside is the reservation system, requiring an early morning visit, but it's worth coming for a satisfying meal.

Shoyu Ramen for 1200 yen with a deluxe topping for 700 yen. It was a bit difficult to visit the restaurant as the waiting board was placed outside at 9 a.m., but I managed to secure a slot for 13:50 by arriving just before 11 a.m. I was torn between salt and soy sauce, but this time I chose soy sauce. The deluxe topping included seasoned egg, black pork wonton, wagyu beef, and 2 sheets of seaweed. The soup, made with ingredients free of artificial seasonings, was flavorful with a hint of sweetness. The homemade straight noodles were slightly soft and intertwined well with the soup. The quality of the toppings was high, and the chashu was very tender and delicious. I look forward to trying the salt ramen next time.

One of the long-awaited restaurants. A friend went to put their name down at 7 o'clock, and we entered at 11 o'clock. The bowl arrived in about 15 minutes. The sharp soy sauce was delicious. The smooth noodles were also good. The chashu didn't quite live up to its appearance, but it was still tasty. The beef chashu had a special taste and was delicious. The most delicious part was the wonton. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to have sake and appetizers with wonton noodles. It took about 25 minutes to finish eating. Since others were getting their ramen around this time, I left the restaurant wondering when the 11:30 customers would be able to enter. Should I aim for 11 o'clock if I go again?

Arrived around 8:10 on Sunday, already 18 people waiting. Started registration around 8:50, registered for the 13:15 slot. Only 8 spots available per slot, but can reserve for multiple people. Came back around 13:15, there was a long line. The shaved ice shop next door also had a significant wait. The ramen, apparently operated by Muginawa, was a bit pricey but incredibly delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This is a restaurant that made it to the top 100 list in 2022. It's a ramen shop. They have a system where you need to sign up from 9:00 to get in. Therefore, you need to come before opening time to sign up. They sell out quickly. I came back around the estimated time and waited. It was worth the wait to try their food.

The slightly warm salt soup with a subtle flavor of dried bonito stock. This review is a memorandum with a rating of how delicious I found the restaurant to be, along with a brief comment, so that I won't forget the taste. Please note that the rating is based on personal preferences, which may be influenced by health conditions and emotions.

Visited for the first time in 3 years since 2020. It used to be a system where you just lined up, but due to the pandemic, it has become a reservation system, so you have to plan ahead to eat at this place. I arrived around 8:30 aiming for the 9:00 start of reservations, and there were already 14 people ahead of me. The line grew to about 20 people by the time reservations started a little before 9:00. I managed to make a reservation at 13:15, but noticed that the last 5-6 people behind me couldn't. The new reservation system seems to have improved the waiting time. I revisited around 13:05 and waited outside until my scheduled time. I chose the Iriko Ramen (¥1,100) with extra toppings of black pork wonton, flavored egg, beef, and double seaweed (¥700), and also ordered Scallop Shumai (¥200) at the counter. The ramen was served promptly. The soup was delicious, with a rich flavor of iriko (dried baby sardines) and a clear and exquisite taste. The thin straight noodles balanced well with the soup. The chashu consisted of 3 slices of pork and 2 slices of beef, providing a substantial portion. The pork chashu, cooked at low temperatures, was especially tasty. The flavored egg was delicious, and the Menma added a nice touch without being overpowering. Although the ramen was on the pricier side at ¥1,800, the taste justified the cost. The beef was good, but pork chashu was the better match for the ramen. The Shumai, served after a 10-minute wait, was also enjoyable with a tangy dipping sauce. Overall, I was very satisfied and would like to visit again soon!

I've been wanting to revisit Muginae for a while but couldn't make it. During the Obon holiday, I woke up early and headed to the restaurant. Arrived before 8:30 to line up as the registration forms are said to be available around 9:00. Already about 10 people were waiting. Nervously wondering if I could get one. Around 8:50, the registration forms appeared. Surprisingly, there was still one left, and I managed to get the 13:15 slot! Phew! There were about 20 people lined up behind me, but the last few didn't get a slot as it was full before 9:00. Tough luck. It's clear how popular it is. Reservations are available for 8 people every 45 minutes from 11:00. Today, I went back home to relax for a bit and returned 10 minutes before my slot. I ordered soy sauce ramen for 1200 yen and the special for 700 yen using the ticket machine. Added dumplings for 200 yen, paid in cash. The manager was handling everything efficiently on his own. Quite handsome. The ramen arrived. It looked fantastic from the start. Beautiful. The soup was delicious, with a complex taste that I could never replicate. Really delicious. The thin straight noodles had a nice texture. The two types of chashu? Not your average beef, they were amazing. The egg was lightly cooked, the wonton filled with meat. The seaweed, bamboo shoots, and green onions all felt of high quality. Wonderful. The dumplings had a gentle taste but you could tell they used good ingredients. There were scallops in them. Even the bowls were nice. Oh, even though it's a ramen shop, the quality is incredibly high, and I'm very satisfied. It's a bit pricey for me, but worth it. Thank you for the meal. Next time, I'll try the dried fish. When will I be able to come back again?

I arrived at the restaurant at 8:47, and the waiting list started around 8:53. It was particularly crowded today, with the early time slots already filled up, so we chose the 13:45 slot. After returning home, we arrived back at the restaurant around 13:30. After a short wait, customers for the same time slot started arriving one after another, and finally, at 13:42, names were called in the order they were listed, and we were able to enter. I chose soy sauce ramen with premium toppings and Saitama-style egg over rice, while my husband chose dried fish broth ramen with premium toppings and black pork over rice. I wanted to order the "Second Bowl Limited Salt" that was on the menu on Tabelog, but they explained that salt ramen is now a regular item and the second bowl limited menu is no longer available. Both ramen dishes were delicious. The soup, in particular, was excellent, smooth and not overpowering, making it hard to stop eating. However, the black wagyu beef in the premium toppings had a lot of fat, which didn't quite match well with the delicate taste of the soup (my husband had the same opinion). I thought it might have been better to go for the 200 yen toppings instead of the 700 yen premium ones. I preferred the egg over rice to the black pork over rice. The black pork over rice was also good, but the seasoning was slightly sweet, giving it a bit of a unique taste. Thank you for the meal! Next time, I would like to try the salt ramen and the fish rice from my hometown.

This is a restaurant where you can return at the designated time set by the restaurant after opening at 11:00. I arrived at the restaurant at 8:40 AM and lined up behind about 30 people. I had made a reservation for a time slot from 13:55 onwards. It was my first time visiting Omorikaigan, so I looked for a place to pass the time and ended up at Komeda Coffee inside the nearby Ito Yokado. I ordered soy sauce ramen with toppings for 1,900 yen, and it was exquisitely delicious, reaching a level of sophistication and comfort. It was the first time I finished every last drop of ramen soup, haha.

The toppings may be a bit pricier at 700 yen compared to other ramen shops, but considering the quality, it's actually a great deal. There's plenty of meat, but it's not smelly or greasy, and you can enjoy it smoothly. Their rice dishes are also delicious, so they are a must-try!

On July 30, 2023, I went to Homemade Ramen Muginao and ordered the Soy Sauce Ramen with premium toppings and a special dish of home-marinated tuna rice for a total of 2500 yen. The ticket system starts at 9 a.m., and you need to write down your desired time slot. I couldn't decide where to go the day before, but after a conversation with @murasaki_taku24, we decided to go to Muginao based on their recommendation. I was torn between getting the regular ramen and the soy sauce ramen, but I chose the latter for its rich umami from animal ingredients and the smoothness of soy sauce in the broth. The noodles were thin and straight, topped with green onions, seaweed, and bamboo shoots. The premium toppings included seasoned egg, meat dumplings, and four types of chashu: lean pork, shoulder pork, and wagyu beef chashu, all of which were delicious. I love wagyu beef, and the marinated tuna rice had a tender texture with vinegared rice, providing a refreshing taste. It was delicious as always. Thank you for the meal! #Ramen #Tsukemen #HomemadeRamenMuginao #RamenMemoirs #Noodlestagram #OtaCityTokyo #ExperimentalNoodleLift #ChashuLift

I tried the "Salt Ramen with Premium Toppings" at "Homemade Ramen Muginae" in Omori, Tokyo. The experience was so profound that words alone cannot express it. I was truly satisfied from the bottom of my heart with this bowl that transcended dimensions. It feels almost cheap to try to describe it in words - that's how exceptional it was. The dedication to using natural ingredients for the broth, without any artificial flavorings or yeast extract, forms the foundation of this bowl. The broth, extracted from whole chicken, chicken bones, Makurazaki bonito flakes, dried baby sardines, and Hokkaido kelp, is meticulously blended to create a deep and rich flavor. The sensation that seeps into your body is truly a blissful experience. The homemade medium-thin noodles made from domestic wheat offer a superbly chewy texture. The deliciousness of these noodles reaches a higher level, and with each bite, the amazement grows. The luxurious toppings further enhance the charm of this bowl. The seasoned egg, black pork dumplings, Wagyu beef, seaweed, and especially the smoked chashu were impressive. The aroma spreading in your mouth and the outstanding meatiness of the chashu made me involuntarily exclaim, "Delicious!" The "Salt Ramen with Premium Toppings" at "Homemade Ramen Muginae" is an extraordinary dish that allows you to experience the multi-layered deliciousness packed in one bowl, along with the dedication to ingredients and techniques.
