It's been almost 2 years since my last visit. This time, my wife and I visited the area around Azabu-Juban for a walk. We arrived at exactly 12:00 on a Saturday. There were plenty of seats available inside when we peeked in from outside. We purchased our meal tickets at the ticket machine. This time, my wife ordered the main menu item, the "Pure Chicken Soba" with chicken white broth. As for me, since I had already tried the chicken white broth last time, I opted for the "Chicken and Sardine Chinese Soba" and added some dumplings. We sat at the counter, around the middle, with 16 seats available. Some seats were surrounded by acrylic boards, and we chose to sit at one of those. Our dishes arrived in about 5 minutes. First, my wife's Pure Chicken Soba arrived. The bowl had a logo with the name of the shop, ICHIKORO, in alphabets with a design of a chicken in the shape of the letter "K". A minute later, my Chicken and Sardine Chinese Soba arrived. The bowl was different from the Pure Chicken Soba, with a white base and blue patterns, giving it a classic yet modern look. The soup looked like a house-style broth, but the oil droplets floating on the surface indicated it was chicken-based. Tucked beneath the soup were thin noodles similar to Hakata ramen. The toppings included chicken chashu, bamboo shoots, spinach, seaweed, and a half-flavored egg with diced yuzu on top. Now, onto the tasting. The thin noodles absorbed the soup well. Unlike the chicken white broth, the soup didn't leave a greasy feeling around the mouth. The flavor of the sardines dominated over the chicken, and the soy sauce saltiness was quite strong, almost too salty for my taste. My wife, who tried the soup later, agreed with me. Perhaps the young chef made it too salty. The gentle taste of chicken was missing. The chicken chashu had a firm texture and was seasoned just right, complementing the soup without overpowering it. The flavored egg had a light brown color, not too salty, and the yolk was slightly firmer than last time. In conclusion, while the dish was tasty, it didn't quite reach the level of perfection found in the main menu item, the Pure Chicken Soba. It was good, but since our expectations were high, we were a bit critical. Next time, I think I'll go back to ordering the chicken white broth.

A chicken soba restaurant in Asakusa Ichi-ban that I have been curious about for a while. I finally had the chance to visit. I arrived on Monday at around 4:10 PM for a late lunch. Right inside the restaurant, there is a ticket machine. This time, I went for their recommended soba dish: - Pure Chicken and Aosa Seaweed Soba: 1,100 yen The restaurant has a spacious counter where you can choose your seat. It is clean and well-maintained, with baskets provided for your belongings. While waiting, I checked out the other menu items, like tsukemen and soupless tantanmen, which all looked delicious. The dish arrived in less than 5 minutes. Here is a brief description: "The aroma of Aosa seaweed and chicken white broth (paitan) complement each other perfectly. The chicken broth, extracted only from the umami and collagen of chicken bones, has a rich yet refreshing taste. When the high-quality Aosa seaweed melts into the chicken broth, layers of natural umami come rushing in. This bowl is a masterpiece with a hint of ocean fragrance." I was shocked by the impact of the chicken broth! I intended to just take a sip, but ended up drinking it multiple times. The rich and clear broth was incredibly flavorful without any unpleasant smell. The Aosa seaweed was also impressive! The ocean fragrance was wonderful, and it enhanced the taste when consumed with the broth. It's no wonder this dish is their most popular. The chicken chashu was moist and tender, with a good texture that paired well with the broth. The soft-boiled egg was perfectly done. The noodles were thin with a satisfying chewiness. I finished it in no time. I was amazed at how delicious chicken alone could be. I am already curious about trying out their other menu items. I might end up visiting multiple times. Thank you for the meal.

I went after a long time! Hmm... Did the taste change? Anyway, the chashu was cold, the soup was lukewarm, and the noodles were too hard... I thought it was a bit harsh. I remember it being more delicious before... I was disappointed with the ramen after a long time.

The most recommended menu was the Aosa Ramen. It was incredibly delicious with the sweet chicken broth soup. The chicken chashu was also amazing! I often pass by here but it was my first time visiting. I definitely want to come back again! Ossu ossu!

I visited the restaurant for the first time around 4 p.m. on Sunday. I ordered the chicken soba with aosa that I had been curious about. When I tried it, the rich chicken soup with thin noodles, aosa, and green onions as accents was incredibly delicious! I finished the noodles in no time. Despite being full, I ordered rice and ate it in the soup, which was also amazingly delicious. It was the most delicious chicken soba I've ever had.

I visited Torisoba Jyuban 156 Azabujuban Main Store, located just a 1-minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station. As soon as I entered the shop, there was a ticket machine. There are about 15 counter seats and one large table. I tried the Chicken and Dried Fish Chinese Soba and Gyoza. The soup was rich and flavorful. The noodles were thin and went well with the soup! The gyoza came on a plate reminiscent of a scene from a manga, which was interesting. Two types of sauce were served, soy sauce and yuzu sauce. The staff were also very attentive. I enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

Ordered the pure chicken soba and rice. Chose the large size for the rice at the same price. The rich and creamy chicken white broth soup was delicious as I had hoped. The firm thin noodles may be a matter of personal preference. Maybe they could have been a bit softer? But overall, it wasn't too bad. However, the rice I asked for to go with the chicken potage soup was yellowed and dry. How long had it been kept warm to end up like this? It's been years since I've had such bad-tasting rice. Even when soaked in the soup, it didn't regain moisture and had an unsatisfying texture. To make matters worse, water droplets fell on my hand as I held the bowl. When I looked up, it seemed that water had dripped from the air conditioner on the ceiling. Luckily, it didn't get into the bowl, but it left me feeling quite sad. While the chicken soba would be a 3.5, the rice's 0.5 is dragging down the taste rating to a 2.0. I wonder if rice is not a popular choice here?

Ordered chicken broth and abura soba. They were offering a free seasoned egg for adding them as a LINE friend, but the chicken broth already comes with an egg. The chicken broth was rich and flavorful, but the soup was a bit too strong. It would go well with rice. The abura soba had a unique flavor without a strong garlic taste. It seemed to be soy sauce-based. The tsukemen also looked delicious, so I will try that next time.

One of the shops I had been curious about for a long time. I visited it while attending the Azabu-Juban festival. The noodles contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, and are made with a special low-calorie whole wheat flour blend. This seems to be popular with women. ☆Pure Chicken and Aosa Soba ⇒ Chicken broth and collagen only extracted from chicken bones. It looks rich but tastes refreshing. It changes when mixed with aosa. The soup is unique and I couldn't help but drink it all. ☆Chicken and Niboshi Nori Tamatsuke Soba ⇒ You can choose between cold and hot noodles, but the hot noodles are not piping hot. The chewy noodles made from Hokkaido wheat flour are topped with a rich dipping sauce. I still prefer the popular Aosa Soba. I will come back again. Thank you for the meal.

After enjoying the sauna at the public bathhouse, I was craving ramen even though it's hot outside. I headed to a ramen shop near the station. I bought a ticket from the touch panel ticket machine and sat at the back of the long and narrow shop. I ordered the pure chicken ramen, which came in a cute bowl. The soup was creamy and the noodles were firm. I was happy to see that it came with an egg even though it wasn't the special selection. I almost finished all the soup. I saw a foreign lady drinking beer and regretted not ordering one myself!

I visited the restaurant at night for the first time and ordered the mixed noodles. It was delicious from the first bite, delicious from the second bite, and even better with a slight modification at the end. It was amazing. I will definitely visit again, and next time I want to try the dipping noodles.

This area offers a rare creamy ramen! While there are plenty of light and soy sauce-based options, this place is great for when you want a rich and creamy ramen. It seems to be popular among ramen enthusiasts, and the atmosphere is welcoming for solo female diners. I think they only accept cash for purchasing meal tickets. I ordered the seaweed ramen. It had a nice thick texture. The gyoza is not recommended, but it's a good spot for a quick ramen fix.

I used to love Ichikoro! I used to visit this ramen shop often when I lived around Azabu-Juban. I was craving their chicken broth soup, so I decided to visit after a long time. I always used to order the Pure Chicken and Seaweed Ramen for 1,100 yen, but as I took a sip of the soup, I thought, "Ah, this is it." However, I noticed that the noodles were a bit too hard. Was it always like this? And it seemed like the soup portion was smaller. I felt like there used to be more... I finished my meal while thinking maybe I'm just getting older. I used to be able to eat this late at night... and left the restaurant.

I visited 156 Ramen after a long time and ordered their premium chicken ramen and gyoza. I really like the thin noodles they use. The seaweed was also good! I ended up overeating with the premium ramen though. I wish the gyoza was a bit more cooked.

I came to Asakusa and was planning to go to the recently renovated SAVOY, but it was too crowded. So, I decided to go to a nearby chicken pottage ramen shop. I ordered the "Special Grade Aosa Soba", but it had a lot of whole chicken wings, which I knew from the menu picture. Maybe I should have just gone with the regular chicken chashu ramen.

The pure chicken and aosa soba costs 1,100 yen, with options to add extra noodles for 150 yen, extra toppings for 150 yen, or a flavored egg. The broth is like a rich chicken white soup with a unique taste. The thin straight noodles have a firm texture and a flavor similar to soba flour. When I added the flavored egg with a coupon, I got two eggs instead of one. There were mostly foreign customers and staff at the restaurant. The store was closed when I arrived, but there were about 7 customers inside.

I had the summer limited chilled Chinese noodles and the non-spicy tantan noodles without cilantro soup. The staff didn't come even when I called them multiple times. The chilled Chinese noodles had a mild taste, similar to store-bought dressing. The non-spicy tantan noodles without cilantro soup had a generous amount of cilantro but was extremely spicy!! It was spicier than I expected. I hope they change the name to "Super Spicy Tantan Noodles without Cilantro Soup". Added a free flavored egg by adding as a Line friend.

I didn't eat properly since morning, so I came here for a late lunch in the evening. I sat at the counter in the empty restaurant and ordered the chicken ramen. It was served quickly. The soup was unique, almost like a potage, with a crispy texture. The ramen was delicious and had such a distinctive taste that it almost felt like a different dish altogether. I saw a sign for extra noodles and without hesitation, I ordered them. The creamy soup was so tasty that I felt like mixing it with rice and eating it (personal opinion).

Chicken salt and seaweed soba for 1100 yen. It is a chicken white broth, but it somehow has a Western flavor like corn potage. The noodles are quite thin with a chewy texture. It is unusual to have seaweed in it, and mixing the seaweed gives a different taste to enjoy.

The chicken soba at 156 (ICHIKORO) was truly fitting of its name. It was incredibly delicious. The bowl was tilted towards the front, as if urging you to drink up all the autumn-like soup. The unique combination of aosa seaweed and chicken broth was something I had never seen before, creating a one-of-a-kind flavor. The chicken breast meat and egg were perfect with the chicken broth. The interior of the restaurant had a bar-like atmosphere, and you could actually enjoy alcohol, adding to its stylish Azabu-Juban charm. This review was posted from a blog.

The cold noodles were delicious! It might have been better to go with the thin noodles as others have suggested. The dumplings were also tasty. I could eat cold noodles all year round! It's quite a filling portion, especially for women. I'll try the thin noodles next time.

Blue Soba for 1100 yen. As a middle-aged person who wants to avoid eating too much, especially after feeling bloated the night before, I found myself here with some extra time before my next job. I'm not particularly drawn to chicken broth ramen, as many tend to have a strong chicken flavor, but the emulsified chicken soup here purely brings out the umami taste. The noodles are thin straight noodles made from whole wheat flour maybe, with a good chewiness that complements the soup very well. The seaweed, seasoned egg, and chicken chashu didn't leave a strong impression, but the high quality of the basic noodles and soup made the meal delicious and satisfying. Also, the chili oil on the table left a lasting impression – it was really good. I was a bit worried about upsetting the balance by adding it to the chicken ramen, but it turned out to be perfect, and next time I would actually like to add a lot more from the start.
