The husband, who is a martial artist, opened his own restaurant in October 2022! Upon arrival at the restaurant, there was a huge line of about 30 people! Perhaps the effect of being featured on TV! After waiting for about an hour, we finally entered the restaurant! We ordered the special ramen with unlimited seaweed and rice for only 50 yen! We requested the noodles to be firm and the soup to be strong! The soup, which I expected to be thick like a martial artist, was more like a direct descendant! It had a rich and flavorful tonkotsu soy sauce broth that was incredibly delicious! It's addicting! The noodles were from Sakai Seimen, a characteristic of the house style ramen! And being able to have unlimited rice for only 50 yen is such a great deal! Plus, there were condiments on the table that you could use to customize your rice to your liking! Customizing it with minced garlic soy sauce and mayonnaise made it even better! Rolling the seaweed around the rice also added a different texture and enhanced the flavor of the rice! Both the ramen and the rice were incredibly delicious! With a rating of over 3.7 on Tabelog, it's only a matter of time before this restaurant becomes a hit! I was extremely satisfied! Thank you for the delicious meal!

On a public holiday Monday around 12:10, I appeared on the TV show "Susuru" the day before, so I was worried about the long line, but there were still about 14 people, which was within the acceptable range. Normally, Mondays are closed, but the shop was open on the public holiday, with the owner absent and the staff handling the customers. When there are 3 or more people in line, you are supposed to buy a meal ticket first before lining up. I couldn't get the special ramen in large size with seaweed and spinach because they were sold out. A friendly staff member came to take the meal ticket while we were waiting in line. They said it was okay for those who hadn't bought a meal ticket yet to keep their place in line and go buy it. However, two people who had lined up without buying a meal ticket passed me while I had already purchased one, so I will make sure to buy the meal ticket after being approached by a staff member next time. A sign said that the first 3 people should buy a meal ticket and wait, so it seems to be in accordance with the rules to line up without buying one if there are 4 or more people in line. No representatives allowed to wait, and after waiting for an hour, I finally got a seat. The self-serve water was ice-cold and delicious. The rice came first, and it was a nice touch. The ramen was special, large, firm, rich, and with plenty of toppings. The broth had a good balance of richness and sweetness, smooth yet sharp. It was very delicious, a high-quality ramen. The noodles were shorter than usual, making it easy to slurp them up in one bite. The portion of noodles didn't feel that large, maybe around 300g? The rice was firm and good. The level of the ramen was very high. When you want to eat delicious house-style ramen but don't want to go all the way to Yoshimuraya in Yokohama, this place seems to be the best choice. Above all, the friendliness of the staff, their approach, and hospitality were excellent, making it a comfortable place to dine. Just before finishing the meal, they distributed chilled disposable towels to everyone. Looking at cost performance, taste, and hospitality, this place might be my favorite among the house-style ramen places I've tried in Tokyo so far. I'd like to try the ramen made by the owner next time. The large ramen and a bowl of rice gave me a satisfying feeling of being about 80% full, so the same order seems fine for the next visit. Thank you for the meal.

Ramenya Ryu (Tokyo / Ogikubo) 4-32-8 Ogikubo, Suginami-ku, Tokyo "Ramen Regular ¥850" @menyaryo Located about a 3-minute walk from Ogikubo Station South Exit on the JR Chuo-Sobu Line and Metro Marunouchi Line, this Yokohama-style ramen shop opened on October 26, 2022. The owner, who previously worked at "Budo-ya Ryu" and "Yokohama Ramen Okamoto" in Shin-Nakano, comes from a lineage of Yokohama-style ramen. The recommended order is "Ramen Regular" with a firm noodle texture. The soup is a slightly thick tonkotsu shoyu base with plenty of chicken oil, giving it a smooth and mellow taste without being too heavy. The seasoning is not overpowering, resulting in a well-balanced and delicious broth. The noodles are medium-thick with a slight wave, perfectly complementing the soup. Toppings include spinach, seaweed, and smoked chicken chashu, adding a delicious smoky flavor to the broth. While there are only a few Yokohama-style ramen shops in Tokyo, this one stands out with its unique and delicious bowl of ramen. I wish I had visited sooner. Thank you for the meal. #YokohamaStyleRamen #FamilyStyleRamen #YokohamaStyle #FamilyStyle #BudoYa #Ramen #RamenInstagram #RamenInstagrammer #ConnectWithRamenLovers #RamenHunting #GourmetInstagram #OgikuboRamen #OgikuboGourmet #RyumennTokyo #RyumennSuginami #RyumennOgikubo Posted by @ryumen827

I personally think that this ramen is among the best in the various family lineups. The soup has a pleasant taste without being heavy, and the thick smoked chashu is delicious. The service is also friendly and attentive, making the dining experience very enjoyable. I would like to go again.

The smoky chashu ramen at Yoshimura-ke is truly authentic and irresistible. This time, I ordered the special ramen with seasoned egg, green onions, and 2 slices of chashu, making it a luxurious choice. I prefer everything to be normal in terms of flavor. The soup is creamy and rich, perfect for those who enjoy traditional ramen. The spinach is fresh and crunchy, not frozen. The noodles are cooked slightly softer, which complements the soup well. You can get one free bowl of rice, but for an extra 100 yen, you can have unlimited rice with extra chashu, which is a great deal. The smoky chashu is a highlight, and adding garlic sauce to it makes for the perfect chashu bowl. The smoky aroma of the soup is so delicious that you can't stop drinking it. The crunchy green onions add a nice touch. Overall, it was a perfect bowl that left me impressed. I will definitely come back for more! They close at 8 pm, so it's not ideal for a late-night meal after drinking, but the tempting flavors might just make you come back again and again. Thank you for the meal!

I heard that a delicious house-style ramen shop opened in Ogikubo, and before I knew it, almost a year had passed since then, haha. It was a challenging shop for me because of renovation work and other reasons, so I couldn't go there easily. It seems that a famous person opened the shop, and it has been a hot topic for a while and still seems to be popular. It's located between Ogikubo Jiro and Marunaga Chuka Soba. When I arrived, I was tempted by Jiro, but I managed to resist and came to this shop instead, haha. Around 11:15 on a weekday, there were 5 people waiting outside. I bought my meal ticket first and then joined the line. It was nice waiting in the shade with good ventilation. A friendly staff member checked my meal ticket. This time, I ordered everything normal. The first bowl of rice is free. I was seated in about 10 minutes. The water was self-service and very cold. There was also a small fan-like device on the counter. They also provided frozen hand towels as a service. Both the assistant and the owner were very friendly, and their service was excellent. I also visited Miurake recently, and I noticed that many house-style ramen shops have good customer service. There were various condiments available such as doubanjiang, garlic, pepper, ginger, shoyu pickles, mayonnaise, sesame seeds, grated radish, vinegar, etc. They even had pickled vegetables. They had a wide variety of condiments. ▶︎Ordered items - Ramen (regular) 850 yen - Rice (free, refills are charged) Soon after, the ramen was served. It came with spinach, 2 slices of chashu, and 3 sheets of seaweed. Even though it was a regular size, the toppings were sufficient. When I tried it, wow!! It was so delicious. First of all, I really liked the soup! It had a pork-like richness, and the seasoning was well-balanced with a nice mellow taste, not too spicy. The chicken oil added was just right. I almost got hooked on house-style ramen, haha. The noodles were the usual flat and short type from Sakai Seimen. They were slightly soft by default. They paired well with the soup and were delicious. The spinach was crunchy and fresh, not frozen. It was quite tasty. The chashu was a bit chewy but had a good texture and a smoky flavor. I was happy to have 2 slices by default. Towards the end, I dipped the seaweed in the soup and enjoyed it with shoyu pickles and mayonnaise. The rice was well-cooked with good grain separation. It's nice when the rice is delicious. My experience with house-style ramen is still limited, but this was one of the most delicious ones I've had so far. The hospitality, including the service, was excellent, and I would definitely like to come back if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

Ramen regular ¥850. I had some errands in Ogikubo and was hoping to try Misokko Fukkoku, but there was a long line so I gave up. I decided to try this shop that I had been curious about. There were 4 people ahead of me in line. The wait was longer than I expected. It seems like the turnover is not very fast. The soup was mild and exceptionally delicious compared to other ramen shops. The chashu was thick and had a nice smoky flavor. I was impressed by the attention to detail in their work. The service was also good. The air conditioning seemed to be broken, so it was just the fan blowing, and I ended up sweating a lot haha. Thank you for the meal.

I have been to this place several times before, but this time I decided to post about it. I ordered the special ramen (firm noodles, extra oil). Rice is served for free, and you can choose between regular or small portion. This time, I chose regular. The special ramen comes with seasoned egg and green onions on top, in addition to the usual toppings. The noodles are chewy, typical of this style of ramen, and the soup has a strong chicken flavor with a rich broth, probably due to the extra oil. It goes really well with the rice. There are also toppings like special garlic sauce, spicy sauce, pickles, and mayonnaise, which enhance the flavors and make the meal even more enjoyable. The service was excellent, and I had a very pleasant dining experience.

Visited the new restaurant "Gomania" in Shin-Okubo after finishing the white sesame tantanmen. Arrived at 12:12 and there were 14 people waiting. At 12:20, the owner, Ryu, came out to hand out water and towels to those waiting in line. At 12:48, purchased a ticket for the ramen (regular) for 850 yen and returned to the line. Entered the restaurant at 12:55 with 11 people waiting ahead. Ordered with "noodles firm, everything else normal." Also got back the hat forgotten last week! Received the bowl at 13:02 - the exquisite soup and medium thick noodles were amazing!!! The smoked large chashu was delicious too! The balance of meat and fat was perfect! Ate the seaweed and spinach with the noodles! The flavored egg was also tasty. Finished the soup in no time and completed the meal! This was the 92nd bowl this year, thank you for the meal! Left at 13:10 with 14 people waiting in line!

This is my first time posting. It's also my first time posting on Tabelog. I've visited this place in my neighborhood a few times since moving here last year, but they were closed for renovations in early June. My wife and I visited on the third day after they reopened. On this day, my wife was out all morning, so I went alone. I arrived at 10:28 AM and there was already a line. While waiting, the intense sunlight and heat made me sweat even though I wasn't doing anything. The French restaurant next door was serving shaved ice, and some people in line were buying it. The restaurant opened a little before 11 AM, and I bought a ticket for the chashu ramen, extra chashu topping, and all-you-can-eat rice from the ticket machine inside. I ordered my noodles firm and with extra oil, as usual. Soon after, my bowl arrived, and the overwhelming presence of the chashu made me silently cheer. I've been ordering extra oil since before the closure, but today the chicken oil was especially fragrant and exquisite. The chashu seemed a bit thicker than before the closure. It had a nice smoky flavor and was the best chashu I've had at any ramen shop. I planned to enjoy a second bowl of rice customized with nori and chashu while savoring my ramen, but something unexpected happened. The volume of chashu exceeded my expectations, and I started to get tired from chewing. The heat inside the restaurant made me feel lightheaded, and before I knew it, I was the only one left from the group that came in before me. I realized I was disrupting the flow of customers and felt guilty. I drank some water to refresh myself and then focused on finishing the remaining chashu. In the end, I couldn't get a refill of rice. The owner kindly warned me, "The double chashu is quite a lot. Please be careful on your way home." I felt apologetic, but as always, the ramen was delicious, and I reaffirmed that this place is my go-to for authentic ramen. I will definitely visit again.

Char siu ramen, firm noodles, ranked 12th in Ogikubo ramen (3.63) at Ogikubo Junimengetsu. After a sudden closure, finally reborn on August 10th. Waited about 40 minutes in line. This moment, I've been waiting for it! Taste it! The inspiration of the soaring dragon!!

During the last weekday of the consecutive holidays, I visited Ryuzan for the first time after the break due to sourcing and personal reasons. I arrived at 10:10 and there was one person ahead of me. Although I didn't get a private room, I was excited to secure the first slot. Before the store opened at 11:00, they handed out cold towels, which was a nice gesture that boosted my mood. There were about 40 people lined up by the time they opened. It's definitely a popular spot! I ordered the special ramen with extra spinach and all-you-can-eat rice. It was delicious as expected. The soy sauce flavor was strong but not too spicy, and it paired well with the firm noodles from Sakai Seimen. The variety of customizations from the owner made the experience even better, and I ended up getting a refill of rice, leaving very satisfied.

There seemed to be a malfunction in the equipment, so the restaurant had been closed for a while, but it reopened on August 10th. On a Sunday, I visited with my second son, bringing a gift after a long time. We parked at a nearby coin parking lot and arrived at 10:27 AM, with 3 customers already there. More people started arriving rapidly. Around 10:50 AM, it started raining, and the staff kindly distributed umbrellas to everyone. At 10:58 AM, the restaurant opened. We entered, purchased meal tickets, and sat down. I ordered a large ramen for myself and a regular special ramen for my son, who also requested rice. Our meals arrived promptly at 11:07 AM. The soup, made with chicken and pork, was exquisite. The noodles were firm and delicious, and the smoked chashu was amazing. The spinach and seaweed matched the soup perfectly. The meal was so good that we finished it quickly. It was my 88th bowl of ramen this year, and I left the restaurant fully satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal! When we left at 11:17 AM, there were 12 people waiting in line.

Char siu ramen (regular size) with free rice for 1150 yen. Personally, the best home-style ramen I've ever had. The balance of the soup, seasoning, chicken oil, and noodles is amazing! The char siu is smoked, but not overpowering, and tender. Everything is just delicious.

After a long closure, I saw on Twitter that the shop had reopened, so I decided to visit. The visual of the ramen always makes me want to eat it again and again! The soup has a deep flavor that warms the body. It's not rough, but rather an elegant soup. You can feel the passion of the owner, Mr. Ryunosuke Okamoto, in every aspect of the ramen and the shop.

In the fiercely competitive ramen district of Ogikubo, it was always strange that there were no good family-run shops. However, I heard that a martial artist who had worked for 15 years decided to open his own shop this year in Tokyo, and it quickly became the most talked-about family-run shop in the city. I visited during off-peak hours and was able to get in without waiting in line. The shop operates continuously, so it's best to visit between 3pm and 5pm to avoid the crowds. The small counter-only shop had two seats available, and I purchased a ticket for the Chashu Ramen (regular size) with nori topping. Surprisingly, the shop offered free refills of rice for just an additional 100 yen. The soup was lighter in color compared to other family-run shops, but I personally enjoyed the less intense richness and saltiness. The smoked chashu was thickly sliced and had a satisfying meaty texture. It was a delicious and well-balanced bowl of ramen. Another envy-inducing spot for Ogikubo residents has been born!

Two days in a row of ramen from a family-owned ramen shop. Yesterday, I had the ● Ramen (regular) for 800 yen (tax included) with rice (all-you-can-eat) for an additional 100 yen (tax included), both seasoned normally. It seems that a small serving of rice is included as a complimentary service. Please note that there is no chashu (sliced pork) included. I wanted a refill, so I ordered an extra rice for 100 yen.

On a regular evening around 5:30 PM, I arrived at the restaurant and ordered the 3-piece chashu ramen with nori and firm noodles, extra fat, and a side of rice. As I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with a pleasant "irasshaimase" and offered a paper apron. These small touches made me feel welcome and comfortable. The rice was served first, along with a selection of pickles and garlic soy sauce for me to enjoy. When the ramen arrived, I was impressed by the high quality and delicious taste of the house-made broth. It had a perfect balance of lightness and richness, with a subtle soy sauce flavor and just the right amount of chicken fat. The fresh spinach added a nice crunch, and the noodles were perfectly chewy. The highlight for me was the chashu pork, which was thickly sliced and had a smoky flavor that complemented the broth well. The attentive and friendly service from the two staff members also added to my overall dining experience. This restaurant truly lived up to its reputation as a fantastic ramen spot.

Chashu ramen for 1100 yen, with an additional flavored egg for 100 yen, totaling 1200 yen. I ordered it with firm noodles and extra toppings. The presentation was stunning. It was great to have plenty of rice for free. The soup was a bit on the salty side, giving it a home-style taste. Personally, I prefer a milder flavor. I might try it with a lighter broth next time!

Ramen 800 yen, rice service at Menya Ryo in Suginami-ku, Ogikubo. I revisited around 1:20 PM. It was my first visit since the opening. The price has increased by 50 yen. You can choose from half rice or regular rice. I ordered the noodles firm. The rice came with purple pickles, miso on top, and seaweed wrapped around it, which tasted delicious when dipped in the soup. The ramen is a house-style ramen. The chashu was large and had a good thickness. #Ramen #Chukasoba #HouseStyleRamen #YokohamaRamen #NoodleLover #Noodlestagram #Ogikubo #Suginami-ku #Tokyo

A while ago, I noticed a long line at this restaurant on my way back from a curry restaurant in Ogikubo, so I was curious to try it out. When I arrived around 7:00 pm, there was no line outside and I could go in right away. Inside, there was a ticket machine where I ordered the ● Ramen regular size with 7/10 noodles and toppings of nori and white onions, which came to exactly 1000 yen. I chose all the toppings to be normal. The soup had a rich and unique animal-based flavor typical of house-style ramen, which was delicious. I added seaweed for an extra 100 yen and got 8 sheets, which was a good deal. Adding the white onions was a good choice as it added a nice crunchy texture. The service was great, both staff members were friendly and welcoming. Thank you for the meal.
