### Comment
I visited this restaurant for the second time this year on a Saturday night after a while.
Since it was close to closing time, I was seated right away.
I ordered from the ticket vending machine, which now allows barcode payments—impressive!
I selected the "Rich Seafood Tsukemen (Medium Size)" and handed my ticket to the staff after sitting at the counter.
The restaurant has counter and box seating, and water is self-service.
After about 3 minutes of waiting at the counter, my tsukemen arrived.
The dipping sauce looked incredibly rich and flavorful, and the noodles were beautifully arranged.
The noodles were medium-thick, straight, and had a great chewiness.
The "Rich Seafood Tsukemen (Medium Size)" costs JPY 1,220.
It was a great meal.

The clear, transparent broth is topped with grilled chashu.
The noodles have a nice chewiness and stand out against the broth.
The mentaiko rice was served cold, but surprisingly, it worked well! (laughs)

I visited this place for the first time in about six months on a Saturday night.
It has been hard to find a time to come in due to the crowds lately.
Since it was snowing, I was able to enter smoothly.

You place your order at the ticket machine inside, but for PayPay, you need to ask the staff directly.
I ordered the 'Tare Ramen with Chicken & Mentaiko Rice.'

Inside, there are box seats at the counter.

After about three minutes of waiting at the counter, the ramen arrived, beautifully arranged in the clear broth with great toppings.

The noodles are medium-thick, straight, and deliciously chewy.

⑥Comment
I visited this restaurant for the first time in almost a year on a Saturday night.
It felt great to be back!

For ordering, the tsukemen is highly recommended from the vending machine inside, but I was intrigued by the "Ajitama Black Chuka Soba" and decided to go for it.

Inside the restaurant, there are box seats at the counter.
Water is self-service.

After waiting about 3 minutes at the counter, the Chuka Soba arrived with a rich black soup and delicious chashu.

The noodles are medium-thick and straight, with a nice chew and great taste.

The Ajitama Black Chuka Soba costs JPY 1,080.
It was a great meal!

[Ajitama Black Chuka Soba]

【Features】
Made with soup slowly simmered from whole chickens combined with a special black soy sauce, this Chuka Soba rivals even the best from Toyama with a kick of black pepper.

【Noodles】
Medium-thick straight noodles with a satisfying bite and delicious flavor.

【Toppings】
Chashu, menma, ajitama (flavored egg), tenkasu.

【Final Thoughts】
This Chuka Soba has a strong black soy sauce flavor.
The richness of the soy sauce combined with the impact of the pepper creates a bold soup that is addictive in its deliciousness.
