On this day, I visited the "Red Snapper Ramen Men'gyo Main Store". The soup is made from red snapper sourced from Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, and when you take a sip, its rich flavor spreads throughout your mouth. The soup contains filtered red snapper meat, giving it a fragrant aroma. Despite this, there is no fishy smell, indicating careful soup preparation. It was a unique and exquisite dish that cannot be found elsewhere. The noodles are made with whole wheat flour, which adds a nice flavor. It has a slight resemblance to soba noodles and has a satisfying texture. The smoked char siu and melted yuzu add to the experience, appealing not only to the eyes but also to the nose. This bowl is a one-of-a-kind, rich in red snapper flavor while maintaining an elegant Japanese touch. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited Menueo-san, located at the south exit of Kinshicho, and tried their special cold sea bream ramen. This is a famous sea bream ramen specialty shop! I was surprised to find that the soup had ice-like pieces in it, allowing it to stay cold. The charred sea bream under the chashu, topped with yuzu, was amazing. The thin noodles paired well with the cold broth, providing a smooth texture and a wheat aroma. The soup had a strong sea bream flavor, and I couldn't help but finish it all. For the latest updates on this restaurant, it's best to check their Twitter account.

I visited the main branch of Men'uo, a red snapper ramen restaurant in Kinshicho, at 19:15 on Sunday, September 24, 2023. As of today, it has a rating of 3.68 on Tabelog's TOP500 list for 2019. There were 4 staff members, and the background music was traditional Japanese shamisen music. The restaurant has 16 counter seats, and the smell of broth or fish can be sensed even outside the store, unlike the typical ramen shop smell. Upon entering, I found a variety of menu options at the ticket machine. Without prior research, I hesitated a bit but ended up ordering the red snapper ramen for 980 yen. It was convenient to be able to use my Suica card for payment. Surprisingly, the ramen arrived promptly at 19:17, even though I wasn't waiting in line. The presentation was simple. The soup was rich in red snapper flavor, with a persistent aroma, possibly from sesame oil. While the soup was salty, it also had a rich red snapper taste. There were minced fish pieces hidden between the slices of chashu, which enhanced the red snapper flavor as they melted. The thinly sliced chashu appeared to be slightly seared using a burner, but the visual effect was subtle. The noodles were made of whole wheat flour, thin and straight, providing a satisfying chewiness. They absorbed the soup well due to the oil content, ensuring a delicious experience until the last bite. The strong red snapper broth was effectively captured by the whole wheat noodles. Towards the end, I started to feel a bit of monotony, but the addition of komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) and yuzu citrus added a refreshing touch, resulting in a well-balanced bowl overall. The restaurant had a lingering fishy smell, which might affect the taste preference of the ramen. Overall, it was a bowl of ramen that could be divisive in terms of taste. In a baseball game status analogy, it could be considered as having Meat D and Fish A, indicating a strong preference for red snapper. However, it lacked Animal Power C, suggesting a mild punch. The Salt level was moderate, and the Running Power C was decent, although the restaurant required a short walk from the convenient Kinshicho station. The staff seemed more like part-time workers than full-fledged apprentices, with a moderate level of attention to detail. The menu was extensive, and the ramen seemed like it could have been prepared by part-time staff, raising questions about the consistency of taste. Nevertheless, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the restaurant around noon on Saturday and was prepared for a long line, but surprisingly it was not crowded. As soon as I entered, I could smell the scent of fish, not like the usual ramen smell. I struggled at the ticket machine because I didn't do my research on the ramen shop beforehand, as usual. I ordered the Special Rich Sea Bream Ramen for myself, which had thick noodles and a rich soup. The seaweed added a nice touch to the fatty broth. I requested yuzu pepper as a condiment, which was essential due to the richness of the soup. My friend ordered the Sea Bream Ramen with Rice Soup, which also had firm noodles and a noticeable sea bream flavor. Overall, the rice soup set was a must-try. However, it was a bit salty this time, which both my friend and I agreed on. The soup was either not diluted enough or lacked a diluting option. The meal went from being just ramen to something beyond that. The restaurant started to get busier towards the middle of our meal, with around 5 groups waiting in line by the time we finished. Despite that, we knew we had to leave promptly to make room for others.

About a 6-minute walk from Kinshicho Station. When it comes to sea bream ramen, this is the place to go! I chose the signature dish, the "Rich Sea Bream Ramen". I sat at the counter and handed over my meal ticket. The ramen was served in about 4 minutes! The soup was thick and rich, just as the name suggests. The flavor of the sea bream really comes through! I was worried that there might be a fishy smell with sea bream ramen, but there wasn't at all. Truly a top-notch restaurant. The noodles were medium-thin and had a firm texture with a good chew. They paired well with the soup and were very delicious. The toppings included chashu pork, spinach, green onions, and yuzu. As I ate, I tried melting a little yuzu into the soup, which added a nice change of flavor and kept things interesting. This ramen is so good that you'll want to come back for more!

The restaurant is close to my company, and I often go to the duck ramen place across the street, but this place offers a unique tai (sea bream) ramen. I indulged in the tai porridge set tsukemen, ignoring my diet. It was consistently delicious. The balance of soup, noodles, and gentle toppings was perfect. I personally like to add yuzu pepper, but wasabi also goes well with it. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a famous ramen shop in Kinshicho. I ordered the most popular dish, the Zosui Set. They accept transportation IC electronic money. The chashu was delicious. --- Ordered Items: - Sea Bream Ramen Zosui Set ¥1,230

I had the red snapper dipping noodles for 980 yen, with an extra large portion for 150 yen. It had been a while since I last visited this place. The thin noodles in the dipping sauce were unique to this restaurant. I should have gone for the extra large portion instead of just the large one, I regretted it halfway through. It was definitely delicious, but I felt like the saltiness was stronger than before. Maybe it's just me getting older.

"Nodoguro Ramen Menegyo" Kinshicho ¥980 The dashi made from Ehime sea bream and seafood was refreshing and delicious, with no fishy smell. The noodles made with whole wheat flour made me feel less guilty about eating ramen, haha. The komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) was crunchy and balanced the ramen well.

On Sunday at 1:00 PM, I was able to sit at the counter without waiting. There were many female customers and families, so it seems this place is popular for its gentle flavors. Last time, I had the rich ramen, but this time I tried the regular special ramen. It seems that I prefer the regular over the rich, and I enjoyed it very much. The yuzu flavor is still great as always. The soup was beautiful, and I may become addicted to it. Thank you for the meal!

It has been 5 years since I last came here. I was tired of waiting in line for a long time, so I had stayed away, but with multiple locations in Tokyo, I decided to visit in the hope that the crowds had decreased. I visited on a hot weekday in August, around 2 pm, and as expected, I was able to enter without waiting. I prefer strong flavors, but I have found that their rich broth doesn't suit my taste, so I chose the sea bream ramen without hesitation. It arrived in just a few minutes. The appearance was the same as 5 years ago. I took a sip of the soup. It was full of umami flavor, and the hot soup was just as good as before. Nothing has changed from 5 years ago. The quality of the taste remains the same, and the waiting time has been reduced to zero. This is a great thing for consumers. To contribute to increasing sales, I have decided to slightly increase my frequency of visits in the future.

Red sea bream ramen risotto set for 1,230 yen. I entered the restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon, around 1 o'clock. There were 2 people ahead of me at the ticket machine, but once I purchased my ticket, I was able to find a seat right away (the restaurant was about 90% full). The food was served in about 7-8 minutes after I sat down. The aroma of the red sea bream was quite strong, and the ramen noodles, which I had never tried before, paired well with the soup. The rice in the risotto set was quite generous, but I found it easy to finish when I poured the soup over it. However, while the risotto was easy to eat, personally I would have preferred a slightly smaller portion.

A ramen restaurant located about a 6-minute walk from the south exit of JR Kinshicho Station. I visited around 8 pm on a weekday night. It's a sister store of Mankiken, located across the street. It's less crowded compared to Mankiken, so I was able to get in without waiting. What I ordered this time: Special Sea Bream Ramen - Price: 1,300 yen (tax included) - The soup had a strong sea bream flavor, and as I finished it, I found pieces of sea bream in it, which tasted delicious when mixed with the noodles. - The toppings included komatsuna (stem part), chashu, flavored egg, and yuzu. - You can also add thinly sliced chashu and condiments like wasabi, yuzu pepper, and ginger, which make it even more delicious (great for those who love condiments). Other notes: - The operation seemed to be managed by two people, so when I visited, the cleanup was a bit delayed, and used dishes were left on the counter tables for a while, which was a bit disappointing (cleanliness is important in food establishments). - Payment is done through a ticketing system, and they accept not only cash but also transportation IC cards, which is convenient for those who prefer cashless payments.

Today, I came to Kinshicho for work. It was before 2 pm, so it was not crowded. I ordered the sea bream ramen. It had a burnt flavor with shredded sea bream, and it was delicious until the last bite. The char siu was tender, salty, and very tasty. I thought it would be nice if the inside of the restaurant was cooler. I was sweating like a waterfall. Thank you for the meal.

Visited on a hot Saturday at 11:00. The shop was already open with about 7 customers ahead of me. It's a counter-only shop, but there are quite a few seats and the turnover is fast so you don't have to wait long. I tried the Cold Sea Bream Ramen for 980 yen, a limited-time menu. It had a sherbet-like soup in it and topped with grilled sea bream flakes, giving it a fragrant aroma. The chashu had a strong salty flavor, but eating it with the greens helped balance it out. The soup itself wasn't very flavorful, so it's best to mix it well before eating. I usually don't crave ramen in the summer, but the cold version really whet my appetite. If I had to nitpick, the soup's oil didn't feel as light and refreshing when chilled.

The special red snapper ramen for 1350 yen was very rich. The richness became a bit overwhelming towards the end, so I recommend getting the regular option. The flavor was not very strong, but it's worth trying at least once without any regrets. Next time, I want to try their porridge. The air conditioning didn't seem to be working well as the inside of the restaurant was quite hot. Everyone around me was sweating.

As soon as you enter the store, there is a nice smell. The red snapper ramen was delicious. I visited during lunchtime on a weekday and was able to enter without waiting. The soup is incredibly delicious! I also had the porridge at the end. I am curious about the menu items other than the regular one. I want to go again!

The shop that made it to the top 100 in 2019! It's great that popular shops have all-day service, making it easier for me to visit. I tend to avoid lining up under the scorching sun, but around 2 pm, customers kept coming in without a break. Impressive! The bowl was made with care for ingredients like sea bream dashi, noodle flour, and komatsuna. I enjoyed it and finished every last bit.

I visited a ramen restaurant in Kinshicho that serves sea bream ramen. The taste was unique with a strong sea bream flavor and just the right amount of richness. The noodles were also delicious. The rare-style chashu was a personal favorite. There was no pepper on the table, so I assume the restaurant doesn't provide it, but I think it would be nice to have some available because it seems like it would taste good with pepper added.

During a weekday morning, I visited the renowned ramen shop Men'gyo in Kinshicho for the first time. I arrived at 11:30 AM and luckily there was no line, so I was able to go straight in. It must be tough for ramen shops in this heat. I ordered the "True Sea Bream Ramen" in a large size. The soup was rich in sea bream flavor, with tender flakes of fish. The saltiness was a bit strong, but it paired well with the noodles and toppings. I wish there was a bit more soup though. The noodles were thin and firm, a good match for the broth. Towards the end, they did get a bit soft, so I recommend asking for them firm. The rare chashu had a strong presence, and the green vegetables did a great job. The sea bream flakes were delicious in the soup. The large size portion is probably a must, as the default 140g may not be enough for men. Overall, the soup, toppings, and noodles were all tasty, but I felt like they could use a bit more punch. Some adjustments in the soup quantity and noodle firmness could make it even better. After eating, a cat came by, maybe attracted by the aroma of sea bream. Thank you for the meal. Next time, I'll try visiting Manchiken!

I went to the famous noodle restaurant Noodle Uo in Kinshicho. It was my first time trying the gentle soup made with sea bream broth, and I really enjoyed it. The noodles were thin and to my liking, so I would give it a high overall score. I ordered the popular rice porridge set, but personally, I would have been happy just enjoying the soup on its own. I have added this restaurant to my list of places to visit again.
