I had known about the restaurant for a while, but honestly, I had underestimated it. The reason was that, from what I had researched, the soup seemed thin and there didn’t seem to be anything particularly appealing about it. However, after doing some more research, I started to think that it might actually be worth a try. So I decided to give it a try, and got off at JR Yurakucho Station. Today, I’m introducing it again with an English version.
This counter-only shop is easily found on the B1F of Kotsu Kaikan. Fortunately, there’s no one in line.
It’s just before 6:30 p.m. Well, at this time, there are usually no lines anywhere. If you’re in line now, you’re worried about what’s to come. There are only about eight seats at the counter, so a huge line will inevitably form even if you wait a little.
Look at this beautiful artistic presentation. The soup is a clear salt soup ramen reminiscent of the Adriatic Sea. I think it’s probably a chicken-based soup. It’s so delicious.
The noodles are so beautifully arranged that it’s a shame to break them, but there’s no point in looking at them, so I just eat them. The noodles are just the right amount of curl, and they’re delicious. There are some reviews saying that the soup and noodles don’t mix well, but I think this is unavoidable due to the characteristics of the soup, and they’re really delicious in their own way.
And the char siu is also great. It’s too good to be true. I highly recommend this char siu. Maron-kun is silently munching away. When Maron-kun is in this kind of zone, it’s the same as saying it’s delicious.
By the time we finished eating, the queue had grown to about 10 people, so if you want to go to Hyottoko, you’ll have to time it well. But since it’s counter-only, the turnover should be fast. If you want to eat delicious ramen and do the Hyottoko dance because it’s so good, then you should definitely visit Yurakucho Kotsu Kaikan.
