The restaurant is located in between Akihabara Station and Asakusabashi Station in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. I read the reviews on Mailevi and decided to visit, so I arrived at 11:50 on a Sunday. There were already 18 people lined up in front of me, and about 6 people waiting in the waiting area inside the restaurant. The customers were about half couples and half men. The line behind me kept growing. I entered the restaurant at 12:25 and purchased a ticket for the Aoshima Ramen for 800 yen from the touch panel ticket machine on the right side. The staff asked to see the ticket from the kitchen, so I showed it to them. There were 3 male staff members and 1 female staff member. The men were busy cutting the chashu, arranging the dishes, and serving. The woman was efficiently boiling the noodles in a sieve. Everyone cheerfully repeated the orders and greeted each other. I sat at the counter seat at 12:31. The restaurant was playing NHK's Nodo Jiman on the radio. Seats were filled in the order they became available, so couples couldn't sit next to each other. The Aoshima Ramen arrived at 12:33. The noodles were curly and medium-thin, with a slight chewiness typical of a local ramen. The soup had a hint of ginger, with a well-balanced soy sauce base and fat, making it delicious. The chashu was tender with just the right amount of fat and delicious flavor. The toppings were simple with bamboo shoots, spinach, and green onions, but it's easy to see why there's always a line. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The ginger soy sauce soup at Qingdao Shokudo warms the body with its deliciousness! The noodles are medium thick curly noodles that are chewy. The soup is tasty with ginger soy sauce and gives a warm feeling to the body. This is a branch of a long-established restaurant in Nagaoka, Niigata, located in Akihabara. The line had about 30 people, but I was able to eat in 1 hour, so the turnover of customers is fast and worth the wait! Business hours: 11:00-17:00 (closes when ingredients run out) Closed on Tuesdays Address: 3-20-1 Kanda Sakumacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Famous for its Nagao-ka Ginger Shoyu Ramen, "Seishima Shokudo Akihabara" is a popular restaurant. Despite being fairly close to my home, I was always intimidated by the long lines, so this was my first visit. Passing by "Mesei Kuroge" nearby, I noticed they also had a long line, but the customer base seemed quite different. Kuroge had many young couples and groups of girls, while Seishima Shokudo was mostly men. I lined up on a weekday starting at 1:05 pm, and it took about 35 minutes until I got my bowl of ramen. There were about 15 people waiting outside, but the line moved quickly, so it didn't feel like a long wait. I ordered the Seishima Ramen for 800 yen and added boiled spinach for 50 yen. While waiting for my food, I watched the cooking process, which was incredibly efficient and impressive. The staff worked quickly and efficiently, even accommodating requests for firm noodles. The soup seemed to have a generous amount of salt and MSG, but it was difficult to compare as I hadn't seen this process in other restaurants. The soup had a sharp soy sauce flavor with a hint of ginger, which was not overpowering. It was salty, flavorful, and delicious. The noodles were chewy and slightly soft, allowing them to soak up the soup well. This was my first time trying Nagao-ka Ginger Shoyu Ramen, and it reminded me of the nostalgic taste of a nameless local ramen shop I used to visit with my family as a child. The default toppings included a few slices of chashu, boiled spinach, menma, seaweed, green onions, and narutomaki, which was a pleasant surprise. Considering the quality and quantity of toppings, the price was very reasonable. The soup retained its heat well, which led to a minor mishap of burning my tongue, but I enjoyed the ramen until the end, adding black pepper along the way. It's a taste that appeals to everyone's instincts and makes you think, "Ah, this is delicious." I'm already craving it again and will likely return soon. Thank you for the meal!

The Aoshima Shokudo in Akihabara, famous locally, was visited after over 10 years. The unchanged deliciousness left me satisfied. It felt like the Aoshima ramen I always eat was a bit lighter in flavor? Lately, the popularity of ginger soy sauce ramen shops has been increasing, and at other places, by the time I finished eating, I often felt a heaviness from the oil in the soup and chashu, thinking "finally finished eating...." But with Aoshima, I was able to eat until the end feeling refreshed.

Akihabara, Aoshima Shokudo arrived on a weekday at 11:15 a.m. and found 33 people waiting in line! It was a bit discouraging, but I believed in the fast turnover and decided to wait. As a result, I got my bowl at 12:10 p.m. It was amazing! Aoshima Char Siu: ¥900, with extra green onions for ¥50 Returning for a brief review: - The soup has a strong ginger flavor and is delicious with every bite. - The soy sauce ramen soup is nostalgic and tasty. - The surface oil keeps the noodles hot until the end. - The Char Siu is satisfying even with the regular portion, but you can get a large portion for an extra ¥50 (225g). - The noodles are easy to eat and match well with the soup. - The Char Siu includes thinly sliced pork belly and shoulder, great value for money. - The green onions are a perfect match as always. The line this time was well-mannered with everyone queuing up properly. The restaurant has three staff members operating efficiently, repeating orders in a chanting style. The atmosphere is pleasant and quite addictive. The operation is fast-paced, the toppings are satisfying and affordable, and the overall value for money is excellent. If you work nearby Akihabara, I recommend visiting this place at least once every two weeks. Oh, and for some reason, they always have high-quality tissues available in the store. Thank you for the meal! Ginger soy sauce ramen, truly deep!

Ramen Akihabara Aoshima Shokudo Wednesday 13:00 arrival 17 people waiting. The rule is to enter the store and buy a meal ticket, then show the ticket to the owner while waiting inside the store. I ordered Aoshima Char Siu with chopped green onions as toppings and enjoyed it with a glass of draft beer. The beer came with Char Siu and Menma as snacks, which were very delicious! The beer was ice-cold and perfect for my day off from drinking. The ginger-flavored soy sauce soup paired with the old-fashioned Chinese-style noodles was something I could eat every day. The Char Siu and Menma were also very tasty, leaving me completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

I lined up at 3:00 PM and finally got in at 4:00 PM, but the line never stopped at this shop. With just one bite, the ginger soup overflowed in my mouth, making it the best ramen I've ever had. I watched the owner slicing the chashu in the kitchen as I slurped the ramen. It was truly delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Qingdao Shokudo Qingdao Char Siu Large Serving + Extra Spinach + Extra Char Siu + Extra Nori... During the recording of "Meisaku-kun," Nasunaka Nishi-san asked me, "Is Qingdao Shokudo in Akihabara really good even though there's always a long line?" I replied, "Qingdao Shokudo is the most famous restaurant for Nagaoka Ginger Soy Sauce Ramen, a local ramen from Niigata~" and made an otaku move. The next day, I found myself wanting to go there and ended up going. It was a holiday, so I waited in line for over an hour. It was pouring rain, making it the worst hour ever, but the ramen was still amazing. I added various toppings and thoroughly enjoyed Qingdao Shokudo. I messaged Nishi-san, "It's better not to go on holidays because the wait is too long." ★4.6 #Ramen #Tsukemen #Menstagram #Ramenstagram #ramen #TokyoRamen #AkihabaraGourmet #NagaokaGingerSoySauceRamen #QingdaoShokudo #RecommendedByShinkai

It's hot today as well. I finally came to a famous restaurant recommended by my colleague. Despite my dislike for waiting in line, I decided to line up at 4:30 pm. It was still a 10-person wait at that time, but I managed to get in line. I ordered the large portion of char siu ramen, with extra bamboo shoots and spinach. The soup was surprisingly light and had a gentle taste of ginger, with a well-balanced flavor that was easy to drink. It was delicious and just to my liking. The char siu was plentiful but not overwhelming. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back again!

After a long time, I tried the Chashu Chashu 50 Negi at Houren! It's not the usual Chashu Chashu 50 Houren! This light taste is really delicious! Whether you're in the mood for something rich or something light, they always make it delicious!

I went on Sunday afternoon. There were about a dozen people waiting outside. There was only a counter, and no table to place bags under, so everyone hung them on the back of their chairs. I ordered Chashu ramen with extra spinach. The soup had a strong ginger flavor, the noodles were chewy, and the Chashu was tender and delicious. I want to go again.

I visited with high expectations for the delicious ginger soy sauce ramen in Niigata. It is located on the side of Showa Street in Akihabara. There was a long line, but surprisingly the wait wasn't too long, about an hour. I ordered the Char Siu Ramen. The bowl arrived quickly, filled with lots of thin slices of Char Siu. The Char Siu was tender and tasty, but the portion was not as large as I had expected. I had imagined the soup to be strong and gingery, but it wasn't as intense as I thought. Overall, it had a simple taste and didn't have an addictive quality, more like a ramen you could eat every day.

Ginger-based ramen ❤️ This flavor makes people from Niigata homesick. Every time I eat it, my heart and stomach are truly satisfied! I always go for the large pork chashu noodles with extra noodles, spinach, and 50 extra menma. Perfect in every way, whether it's the noodles, soup, or toppings! It's my favorite ramen! It's always crowded no matter what time you go, but the turnover is fast and the deliciousness makes the wait bearable!

On a normal day at 14:30, with 5 people waiting outside during a typhoon, it took 5 minutes to get in and 15 minutes to receive the bowl of ramen. Aoi Shima-san had tried multiple times to visit this restaurant but always gave up due to the long line. Today, during a typhoon and at an odd hour, Shima-san thought it might be possible to finally try it out. Passing by, there were 3 people waiting outside. Shima-san was surprised that even during a typhoon, people were still lining up. But with only 3 people waiting, which was rare to see, Shima-san quickly parked the car at a nearby parking lot and joined the line. 15 minutes later, Shima-san finally got to try the Aoi Shima Ramen. The soup was a sweet soy sauce base, coated with a layer of fat to keep it hot. The ginger flavor was just right, not overpowering. The noodles were chewy, the chashu had a perfect texture, and all the toppings such as naruto, spinach, bamboo shoots, and seaweed were excellent. And all of this for only 800 yen? Even with extra chashu and noodles, it was only 950 yen. The cost performance was outstanding. It was a nostalgic yet cutting-edge ramen experience. It was amazing! Thank you for the meal.

Today I had an early shift, so for lunch I had a Calorie Mate and milk. After work, I went to Aoshima Ramen, which was about to close in 30 minutes. It had been a while since I last went there. The flavor was a bit light, with extra spinach. I had a draft beer, and the total came to 1200 yen. It was really delicious. It was just right because last time I thought it was a bit salty. The noodles, soup, and toppings were all well-balanced and delicious until the end. I enjoyed it!

At lunchtime, even if the line is despairingly long, you can manage to get in just before closing time. I experienced this theory firsthand by waiting in line for a seat and purchasing a ticket for the Aoshima ramen at the ticket machine. While waiting in line, I held up my food ticket to inform the staff, who efficiently processed the orders, making the long line inevitable. The restaurant allows customers to start eating as soon as they are seated, without having to wait, which was quite impressive. A lady stood confidently in front of a large pot, continuously handling orders. She skillfully used a flat sieve instead of tongs, showcasing a craftsmanship rarely seen nowadays. It was a sight to behold, with special effects added. While I was mesmerized by the scene, I also purchased a food ticket and within about 10 minutes, a seat became available. I received my meal in about 2 minutes and finished eating in about 8 minutes before leaving the restaurant approximately 20 minutes later.

This was my second visit, but I forgot to show my ticket after entering the store, so I was embarrassed, so please be careful everyone... (I was so engrossed in the manga...) The noodles were very delicious, so it's definitely better to get a large serving!! The regular size is about 170g, right? I usually finish all the soup, but the soup was on the rich side, so I couldn't finish it... Thank you for the meal.

It had been a while since my last visit, as the line was always too long and I would give up each time I passed by. But this time, I mustered up the courage to wait in line. The menu still only offers one choice - the Seisho Ramen - with variations in portion size and toppings. From the perspective of the restaurant, this minimizes waste and is efficient. The confidence they have in their product, backed by their history and reputation, is evident. And the price is only 800 yen for the Seisho Ramen, which is quite affordable compared to other popular places (for example, the normal soy sauce ramen at Honda nearby is 1100 yen). The soup is gentle and may not raise your blood pressure even if you have it every day, yet it has a rich flavor with a hint of chicken fat floating on top, creating an elegant appearance. The noodles are perfectly matched with the soup - medium-thick and chewy with a subtle curl. It's the balance between the noodles and the soup that keeps people lining up, and I too feel happy. Aside from the loud announcement from the temperature measurement machine next to the ticket machine, this ramen shop is almost perfect. While there are various styles of ramen like house style or Jiro style gaining popularity, Seisho Shokudo is still providing top-notch ramen that reminds me of the ramen from my childhood. They are the torchbearers of ramen culture. I just wish the line was a bit shorter so I could be even happier.

Arrived around 12:00 on Friday in September 2023, there were about 15 groups waiting inside and outside the restaurant, so there was a wait of about 20 minutes. The Char Siu with extra noodles costs 950 yen. The flavor of the ginger soy sauce that lingers with the first bite is excellent. Even with the large portion, it was enjoyable to eat until the end without getting tired of it, and it was delicious. The kitchen was lively and overall it was a good experience.

I visited around 5:00 pm on a regular day, just in time before closing. I had some errands in the neighborhood and was running late, so I was considering going to another restaurant if this one was closed. Luckily, I made it just in time. I had already decided to order the large Char Siu ramen with an extra 100 yen worth of noodles and added spinach. There were about 10 people in line before me, but the turnover was quick, and I got my order in about 15 minutes. The appearance of the Char Siu ramen looked like a typical Chinese restaurant dish, but when I took a sip of the soup, it was surprisingly flavorful and rich. The noodles were firm and had a perfect balance when mixed with the soup. The Char Siu was lean and thinly sliced, but it complemented the noodles and soup well. Overall, the flavors were well-balanced without any overpowering elements. It felt like they had perfected a familiar taste to the extreme. The portion size was generous, with about 400g of noodles in the large serving. Despite the quantity, the balance of flavors remained consistent. However, eating a large amount of noodles does take some time, so if you prefer a quicker meal, you might want to request firmer noodles. The soup was quite hot, so it would probably be even more enjoyable in the winter. And for less than 1000 yen for a large serving, it's a great value in this area. This ramen is so delicious that I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

There may never be perfection in cooking, but the ramen at Seisho Shokudo is perfect as it is. I don't want it to evolve anymore. It's the perfect bowl for me. I'm grateful to have been born in an era where I can eat at Seisho Shokudo. There's nothing but gratitude. No, there's also excitement. The noodles dipped in the supreme ginger soy sauce are just right, even though they're traditional Chinese noodles. I really love the noodles at Seisho. I want to blame my weakness for getting full. It's said to be Niigata-style ramen, but I wonder if the Seisho Shokudo in Niigata is even more delicious. Well, it's the original, so maybe it's even better? A restaurant that only serves ramen, isn't that the best? Seisho Chashu (extra large): 950 yen
