The car started making a creaking noise from the front, so I decided to have it checked at the shop. It's quite stressful when it creaks while driving, and if something is broken, it's worrisome. Coincidentally, on this day, my father-in-law wanted to play with our child, so I asked my dear wife to handle it. I drove the car alone to the shop in the direction of Minamimachida. For lunch, I went to a restaurant near Minamimachida Granberry Park. The restaurant operates on a ticket system, where you take a magnetic card with a number and a designated time to gather at the front of the restaurant. It was a Saturday, but surprisingly not crowded, so I had plenty of choices. When the gathering time arrived, the staff called us in one by one to purchase meal tickets from the machine before being seated. I chose the "Jidori and Ago Ibuki Niboshi (salt)" for 1000 yen, as it was my first visit to this location. I noticed this menu item and decided to try the niboshi flavor since my wife doesn't like it. I also chose hand-kneaded noodles, which turned out to be exactly to my liking. The thick and curly noodles were delicious, and the soup had a strong flavor that complemented the noodles well. It may have seemed salty at first, but the flavor worked perfectly with the thick hand-kneaded noodles. Each slurp brought out the aroma of niboshi, the richness of the chicken, and the refreshing taste of the seaweed. The chashu and other ingredients were also excellent. The price of 1000 yen was reasonable considering the quality. The friendly atmosphere and good service made a positive impression. They even have a children's ramen menu, so I would like to revisit with my family next time. Thank you for the meal. As for the car, they found that the front upper mount was suspicious and replaced it. The noise completely disappeared, and I was relieved. It seems to be a common issue in European cars due to aging. It would have been quite expensive to replace all the suspension components, but thanks to the shop's kindness, the repair cost was reasonable. I am very happy to be free from stress. Aim for 10 years and 100,000 km! (Currently at 8 years and 80,000 km)

When I went to a famous restaurant in Machida, it was unfortunately closed. I searched for a store that was suddenly open and decided to try this place. I arrived at the station after 1 pm and walked towards the restaurant. There were two groups of customers walking in front of me, but there was no line and I was able to enter easily. Since the menu was extensive, everyone seemed to be hesitating when buying food tickets. When it was my turn, I chose the white soy sauce chicken ramen. I was asked if I wanted thin noodles or hand-made noodles, so I requested hand-made noodles. Normally, I would choose thin noodles, but I wanted to try their hand-made noodles this time. There was also an order for tsukemen, but the service was quick. The hand-made noodles were chewy and delicious. The soup, which was like salt ramen due to the white soy sauce, had a strong flavor that complemented the hand-made noodles well. The chashu included chicken, pork, and roasted chicken, all of which were delicious. The menu was extensive and there were various orders coming in, but they efficiently handled the orders with skill. Next time, I will try the tsukemen.

Today I arrived at the store at 10:30. Only had a ticket for 13:20, seems like it's getting popular. When I went at 13:20, the table turnover was slow so I was seated at 13:50. It was a bit tough waiting. Kids first service is still great, kids ramen for 150 yen and it comes out quickly which is nice. It was my first time ordering the oil noodles full set, it came with soup and was delicious. Ordering rice as well is too much so next time I'll just go with the soup.

I had high expectations for this place as it had a very high Tabelog score and good reviews. However, the ramen had a bland soup and lacked the flavor of chicken. The thin noodles were too soft and reminded me of a famous shop in Niigata called "Mitsuyaya". The chashu was a large piece of light pork, and the chicken was tender and had good volume, but... The soft pork loin rice had plenty of rare chashu that melted in the mouth and tasted delicious, but the oil base under the soy sauce dressing was quite heavy for my 49-year-old self, and I couldn't finish it. I'm sorry. Maybe I could have handled it when I was younger? Unfortunately, both the ramen and rice were not to my liking overall.

I had been passing by this shop many times for work, and I had always been curious about it! Since it's a popular shop, I thought I would have to wait in line to go, so I couldn't go until today. I thought maybe I could go today because of the typhoon and rain. I was able to go without waiting. I arrived at 1:00 PM and there were many menu options to choose from. I decided to get the chicken fat soba full set. I was worried that the soba would be too rich, but it wasn't at all. The chicken and roast beef chashu matched well and it was delicious! The fact that there was soup was really great. I had been debating between ramen and soba, and the soup was perfect - light yet deep. After finishing the noodles, I had the rice with egg and soup to finish off the meal. It was the perfect ending. I still have work nearby, so I plan to try other menu items as well!

In the vicinity of Minami Machida Granbury Park, a large outlet mall in Machida City, Tokyo, there is a famous ramen shop. The access method is a 6-minute walk from the Tokyu Denentoshi Line Minami Machida Granbury Park Station, which has a station that is integrated with the atmosphere of Maihama Station, just like at the Disney Resort. Although the restaurant does not have parking, the parking lot at Granbury Park is available (2 hours free on weekdays, 1 hour free on holidays). You can enjoy ramen and shopping together. "Chojunzu Sainen Tengokuya" was a popular ramen shop that used to operate in Kanamori, Machida City, and has won numerous awards such as the Top 100 Ramen Shops on Tabelog. This popular shop relocated and reopened in October 2021. Recently, it won second place in the Ramen Walker Tokyo 2024, making it even more popular. The old shop was visited by me (the ramen was delicious), but I had not visited the new location. Finally, I went to eat there the other day! The shop operates on a magnetic ticket system on weekends and holidays. It may also be on a ticket system during busy times on weekdays (I'm not sure about the details). When I visited on a Tuesday evening around 5:30 pm, the restaurant was not crowded, so I was able to enter immediately. In addition to counter seats, there are also several table seats. The interior has a clean and calm atmosphere, almost like a cafe. Furthermore, the shop is famous for being "child-friendly". They provide children's chairs, plates, spoons, and forks. They also offer children's ramen at different prices depending on the age, from 1 year old to high school students. Additionally, children are served ramen before any other customers! And they even give out desserts as gifts. The level of service for children (as well as all customers) at this ramen shop is exceptional, and I highly recommend visiting with children for a satisfying experience! As for the ramen itself, it was incredibly delicious! The soup was gentle with a mild saltiness and free of chemical seasonings, making it kind to the body. The chicken broth permeated nicely, with a subtle soy sauce flavor, resulting in a mellow and flavorful taste. The soup was warm but not too hot, allowing even those with sensitive tongues to enjoy it from the first sip. The chicken oil floated generously but did not overpower, adding a nice richness. The noodles, provided by Nakanihishi Foods on this day, were hand-kneaded and had a nice balance of firmness and chewiness. They were smooth and silky, with a good mouthfeel and excellent compatibility with the soup. Each topping was of high quality! The thick and tender chicken meat alone was delicious! The pork chashu was silky and packed with pork umami. They were all without any strong flavors, appealing to a wide range of tastes. The bamboo shoots were large, fresh, and crunchy, adding a nice touch of Japanese flavor. The seasoned soft-boiled egg was incredibly delicious! It had a strong sweetness and a rich egg flavor that was truly impressive. I highly recommend ordering it. There are many dining options around Minami Machida Granbury Park, but if you visit with your family and want to have a meal, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant! After getting your ticket, you can enjoy shopping until it's time to eat!

252nd visit on August 8, 2023. It had been a year and a half since my last visit. I arrived at the restaurant around 10:40, and coincidentally, the owner was outside. When I asked about when they start distributing meal tickets, the owner mentioned that they don't usually do it on weekdays, but they can provide one if I specify a time. I mentioned that I wanted to come when they open, and I received the number one ticket. When I returned to the restaurant around 10:53, there were three people waiting ahead of me. However, when they opened at 11 o'clock, I was the first one to be seated. I ordered the Chicken Fat Ramen with soup for 1,200 yen, and it was served in about 5 minutes. The presentation was already promising! First, I mixed the noodles well with the sauce at the bottom of the bowl. It's hard to describe, but it was just delicious! It had a rich flavor without being too heavy. The rare chashu came in five slices, which seemed like a lot, but I managed to finish them all! The chashu was tender and not too fatty. The chicken chashu was also moist. And the soup! It had a deep and delicious flavor! I wonder if it's the soup base of some other ramen? I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal.

A popular restaurant that was originally in Machida has moved to Nambancho Granberry Park Station a few years ago. It has high ratings on Tabelog, and it even ranked 2nd in the overall category in the Ramen Walker released in August. The restaurant is well-known, with signatures from celebrities, athletes, and popular ramen shops displayed inside. It operates on a panel system where customers hold a panel with a designated time, and when that time arrives, they can enter the restaurant. I visited the restaurant at the opening time of 11 am on a weekday, but had to wait for 45 minutes before being able to enter. The interior has three tables and around eight counter seats, with the owner, Sasaki-san, working in the kitchen alone and two staff members in the front. I ordered the regular menu item "Jitokara Oil Soba (with soup and rice) in a large serving." The dish arrived in about 5 minutes and looked beautiful, with flavorful chicken and pork chashu, along with menma and green onions. The noodles were hand-kneaded and had a nice texture, combined with a sophisticated sauce that created a delicious taste. The chashu was tender and flavorful, with a hint of gentle fat, and the chicken chashu was moist and sweet. I also ordered the "ochazuke" to mix the remaining ingredients with rice and soup, which was also delicious. The restaurant values children and offers a special menu for them, with "Children's Ramen" priced at only 150 yen for children under 5 years old. The quality and quantity were impressive, making it a great value for money. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!

The silky homemade noodles with a rich flavor of local chicken surpasses even the discerning palate of Rojiman. It's a full combo of deliciousness! Thank you for the treat!! Rating: 3.760915up. Personal impression: Normal. Self-standard: 4.5 - Heavenly! 4.0 - Outstanding! 3.5 - Average. 3.0 - Disappointing.

In the past it was hell, now it's heaven with two bowls of ramen. I used to visit this place next to the pachinko parlor a few times, and the taste sometimes makes me crave it uncontrollably. However, when I come back after a long time, I go back to basics and eat ramen. But I always noticed that there were many menu options. I just felt embarrassed by my indecision in front of the detailed rules and whiteboard, so I couldn't make up my mind... So this time, I used the power of Tabelog to study with everyone's comments and images haha. But I still couldn't decide. I'm torn. I want to eat something warm, but it's summer so I also want something cold... Oh well, I'll just go crazy and order two bowls. I chose the insane two-bowl meal of chicken flying fish Ibuki dried fish & chilled dashi kelp ramen. They were both delicious, making my indecision seem small. But what a shame that the toppings were almost the same haha. It was my choice so I can't complain. Next time, maybe I'll choose that and that? Just a fantasy. Thank you for the meal.

First visit♪ It seems that they have won many awards before moving to a new location. It's not too far from Machida, and on weekdays, parking is not a problem with Grandberry Park nearby. I arrived around 12:30, parked at the park, and walked to the restaurant without having to wait. I tried the Chicken Ramen with Soy Sauce (hand-kneaded noodles) for 1200 yen. It was disappointing that the flavored egg was sold out. The clear soup with a sharp soy sauce flavor was refreshing, but personally, I found it lacking in depth. The noodles, although not homemade, had a nice chewy texture. I hope they start making their own noodles soon. Overall, the dish was well put together, but it was a bit too clean and lacked depth. It felt like it was made with plain water. Thank you for the meal♪

[Interior] 1 owner, 2 assistants, 5 counter seats, 2 tables for 2, self-service water, ticket system [Order] 'Local Chicken Ramen Soy Sauce' 1200 yen [Overall Review] Wow, what a unique station name. It gets you excited, doesn't it? This time, I visited Tengokuya, which has won the title of 100 best ramen shops in the past and has relocated to Minami-machida Cranberry for a fresh start. They are known for their chicken-based ramen featuring Nagoya Cochin chicken, among others. They were ranked 2nd overall in the 2024 Ramen Walker, which was just released 2 days ago. The taste of this popular shop is something to look forward to. When I arrived at the station, I was delighted by the cheerful design that children would love. It looks like something out of Disneyland. If I were a suspicious person like me in a place like this, people would probably avoid me. There were many Snoopy figurines and amusement park-like buildings, so I would like to visit for sightseeing sometime. I walked from Cranberry Exit and saw a line forming in front of the store. It seemed suspiciously long, but luckily, a regular customer with a child approached me. Parent: "Do you have a ticket?" Me: "Isn't it based on the order on weekdays?" Parent: "There are still tickets on the back of this sign-up board, so take one while the earliest time is available." When I flipped the sign-up board, there were many ticket magnets. This person is a lifesaver. It was lucky that number 3 was still available. This system is really confusing, so please be careful. Otherwise, I might have ended up in the 12:00 slot. For those planning to visit in the future, make sure to secure a ticket magnet first. Even after entering the store, many people were unaware of this system, leading to conflicts with the staff. It would be helpful if the owner could enforce the rules more clearly on platforms like X. Returning to the main topic, thanks to the kind parent and child, I was able to enter on the first round. Of course, following the rule on the upper left of the ticket machine, I ordered the Local Chicken Ramen. They also occasionally offer other types like sardine or cold ramen. When I handed the ticket to the staff, they asked, "You can choose between thin noodles and hand-kneaded noodles, which one would you like?" I've been having hand-kneaded noodles a lot recently, so I chose that without much thought. Normally, I would choose thin noodles to fully enjoy the soup's flavor, but oh well. The owner was working alone in the kitchen, and his efficient movements were impressive. The dish was served quickly, in about 7 minutes. The classic style with a beautiful brown soup and chicken chashu in the center. I would have liked some flavored eggs, but they were sold out that day. Tengokuya doesn't have any special toppings, so please note that. First, I slurped the soup, and as expected, it had a strong chicken-based flavor. The balance with the seasoning was excellent, and it was easy to drink. It was delicious. The soup remained piping hot even towards the end. The noodles were supposed to be freshly made, but the owner was injured and couldn't make them, so they were from a company called Nakanishi Shokuhin, meticulously hand-kneaded and had a chewy texture. I would have preferred homemade noodles if possible. The chashu was cooked at low temperature, and all three types - two chicken and one pork - were silky and tender, very tasty. The bamboo shoots were also tender and elegantly prepared. It was a well-balanced ramen, and I finished it all with ease. It was delicious. The soup remained hot even towards the end. The only downside is that it's far away. Hachioji is the same, but if the location were better... Also, they need to improve the queuing system to avoid further troubles. The staff, including the owner, were very helpful.

Scallop mayo dish is soothing and perfect for summer, with a rating of 3.800831 on Tabelog. My personal impression is Normal. This dish falls under the category of "Heavenly" according to my standards.

This is one of the few restaurants that I repost, but it is almost certain that it will make a comeback in the 2023 "Ramen TOKYO Top 100" list, so I revisited it. This popular restaurant has a ticket system that allows you to avoid lines on weekends, so it is very convenient. I went to the store on Sunday at 11:35 to get a ticket. There were still about 40 tickets left, so I got the earliest ticket for 13:35 and went back home. When I arrived again at 13:33, the line for that time slot had already formed. Usually, I can get inside the restaurant within 5 minutes, but this time I had to wait until 13:47, which was unusual. This place is very kid-friendly, and there are many families on weekends, so it's understandable that there might be some delays in turnover. This time, I accidentally ordered the same menu as my previous post, "Jidori and flying fish Ibuki boiled fish ramen (soy sauce)" for 1200 yen, and I also requested the "hand-kneaded noodles". The noodles arrived in about 5-6 minutes, and the visual presentation was the same as always. The only difference was the way the chashu was sliced. When I tasted the soup, I found that it was a balanced type of soup where the boiled fish flavor was not as pronounced as the name suggests, but you could still taste the subtle seafood flavor and the rich flavor of the Jidori chicken. The soup, which does not rely on oil and is free of chemical seasonings, gradually increases in umami from the first sip to the last drop, and even after finishing it, you don't feel any guilt. The noodles are hand-kneaded medium-thick wavy noodles from "Dainishi Foods", with a slightly higher water content, resembling the Tsurusiko style. The smooth surface and wavy texture of the noodles help hold the soup, and the noodles themselves have a strong flavor. If you are told that they are homemade noodles, you would believe it. Recently, the owner has stopped making homemade noodles due to health reasons, so now you can choose between "thin noodles" and "hand-kneaded noodles" for any ramen other than the boiled fish type. It would be fun to try these noodles with a "Jidori and dashi" soup. The chashu is made from roasted pork shoulder cooked at a low temperature, and there are about 4-5 small slices with a moderate saltiness, allowing you to taste the deliciousness of the meat directly. The low-temperature cooked chicken thigh that came later was tender and delicious with a firm texture. The bamboo shoot menma is lightly seasoned with a moderate crunchiness and softness, while the komatsuna has a crunchy texture that allows you to fully enjoy the quality of the ingredients. Although the early red pickled ginger was a bit spicy this time, the two types of green onions still assisted in finishing the soup. Personally, I feel that only the sliced seaweed dominates the taste of the soup, making it difficult to find the right timing to mix it in. Also, unfortunately, the "Jidori flavored egg" has been temporarily discontinued due to low availability, but I hope it will be back soon. This time I made a little mistake in choosing the menu, but this restaurant offers a unique deliciousness that differs from the recent trend of popular shops. It is a precious restaurant where people of all ages and genders can enjoy ramen comfortably, regardless of their physical condition or the weather. I would like to review this place again if I have the opportunity. Thank you for the meal.

Visit on 8/6/2023 at 9:43. Arrived at 8:30 for ticket distribution as shown in the photo. The quickest available slot was for a 12:00 gathering, so I obtained a ticket for that time. Returned to the front of the store at 11:55. There were about 11 people in line at that time. There were still tickets available for gatherings at 13:35 and later. Entered the store at 12:32 (even though it was for the 12:00 gathering?). Purchased tickets for Chicken Ramen with Soy Sauce (1,200 yen) and Pork and Chicken Mix Bowl (500 yen). The chicken ramen was delicious, with a chicken and soy sauce flavor. It felt a bit lacking in toppings, mostly just chashu. The Pork and Chicken Mix Bowl had ingredients mixed with sesame oil, offering a different deliciousness from the ramen. However, the chashu was a bit cold, which was a bit disappointing. According to the staff, there were many families with children that day, which caused the waiting time to be quite long. Indeed, there were many families with children present. I thought the timing might be a bit difficult to gauge, so I recommend visiting when you have some flexibility in your schedule.

I went to Tengokuya in Minami-Machida Granberry Park with a Taiwanese male homestay guest who wanted to eat ramen. We arrived at 8 o'clock when the tickets were being distributed, and managed to get tickets for 1 o'clock. We arrived on time and were called in after waiting for about 5 minutes. He had the chicken ramen, while I had the chicken and flying fish Ibusuki dried fish ramen. Both had a clear and gentle taste of soup. He was particularly impressed by the pork chashu. Next time, I will try the limited menu. Thank you for the meal!

Hello, this is Mormor. Today, I went to "Chojunsui Saimen Tengokuya" because I heard they were offering a limited edition "Hiyashi Kanamori Black Ramen." It seems to be a chilled version of the Kanamori Black Ramen from the Kanamori era. The Kanamori Black Ramen from that era was a delicious bowl with a fantastic use of soy sauce, so I am very curious to try the chilled version. Recently, the daily noodle specials are written on a board outside, while the limited edition noodles are written on a whiteboard inside the restaurant. On this day, the limited editions included "Hiyashi Konbu Ramen (with dashi)" for ¥1,100, "Hiyashi Karamezu Ramen" for ¥1,300, "Hiyashi Kanamori Black Ramen" for ¥1,300, "Hiyashi Niboshi Shiro Shoyu Ramen" for ¥1,100, all with a focus on chilled noodles. According to the Twitter announcement, there was also a Kanamori Black Ramen, but it was not listed on the whiteboard. I purchased a ticket for the "Hiyashi Kanamori Black Ramen" for ¥1,300 at the ticket machine on the right side of the restaurant. After about a 10-minute wait, the "Hiyashi Kanamori Black Ramen" arrived. From the appearance alone, it was clear that it was going to be delicious. The limited edition "Hiyashi Kanamori Black Ramen" at Chojunsui Saimen Tengokuya was even better than I imagined. It's not easy to turn a hot ramen into a chilled dish, but the owner, Sasaki, effortlessly pulled it off with his incredible sense of taste. The soup, which combines the umami of soy sauce with the ginger-flavored chicken soboro, perfectly captures the essence of the Kanamori Black Ramen. The toppings, such as komatsuna and hosaki menma, were also perfect. Sasaki, who can offer four different chilled limited edition noodles, is truly amazing. For more details, click here → [link]. Watch the video here → [link]. Check out my Instagram here → [link].

I visited around 2:00 p.m. on a weekday. I parked my car in the Granberry Park parking lot and peeked inside to see that there were about 7 customers already inside, so I was able to enter without waiting in line. I was prompted to sanitize my hands near the entrance, then purchased the limited cold dashi kombu ramen (1100 yen) at the ticket machine and took a seat at the counter. After about 5 minutes of waiting, the dish arrived. The noodles were thin and slightly curly, cooked to a slightly soft texture. They were smooth with a slight chewiness, possibly influenced by the kombu. The soup was a slightly warm fish and kombu-based broth with a strong kombu flavor. It had a slimy and thick consistency, almost like a sauce. The saltiness was not too strong, but the taste of the broth was prominent. The toppings included seared chicken chashu, rare pork chashu, menma, onions, some leafy greens, and a citrusy wasabi. Overall, the soup wasn't very salty, but the toppings added a good amount of flavor. The sliminess from the kombu made it easy to slurp the noodles. The standout was the seared chicken chashu, which was incredibly delicious. On the other hand, the pork chashu was not as impressive, with a strange sourness to it. The citrusy wasabi added a nice touch of acidity without much spiciness. I was prepared to wait in a long line, but I was pleasantly surprised to be able to enter quickly and leave fully satisfied.

We visited as a family. There is no parking available. The restaurant is child-friendly as mentioned in reviews, offering kids' ramen and ice cream. We ordered the local chicken soy sauce and chicken dashi ramen, which had a very gentle and delicious flavor.
