Visited on a weekday afternoon. There was a line of 4 people, but I got in after about 3 minutes. I ordered while waiting and paid at the counter when I entered. The ramen and rice arrived about 5 minutes after I sat down. I was a little disappointed that the egg wasn't as intact as in the photos, and didn't have the twin yolk look. However, when I took a sip of the soup, the aroma of bonito filled my mouth, and the incredibly deep soup vanished smoothly without leaving a heavy aftertaste. The aroma of the Japanese parsley and yuzu citrus also complemented the soup perfectly. The noodles were a little dry and soft, but not in an unpleasant way; they tasted like the old-fashioned egg noodles and were delicious. I initially thought the egg was just for looks, but it was so delicious that it gave me the illusion that the broth was seeping out from within. The other ingredients were also reliably tasty. The 150-yen roasted pork rice bowl was a great deal, but I could have eaten more. The gyoza dumplings were large and looked delicious, but at 150 yen each, they felt expensive. When I dipped them in soy sauce, they didn't have any particularly juicy meat, so I felt a bit shortchanged. However, when I ate them with salt and sansho pepper, the flavor became addictive! The prices are a bit high for a tourist spot like Asakusa, but the taste is definitely worth it, so it's worth visiting at least once.
I had dinner on the second floor. The stairs were the old-fashioned 45-degree type, though there was a handrail. Everything else was perfect. I had the ramen with all the soy sauce and gyoza. The curly noodles went well with the soup and were very easy to eat. The egg was a double yolk, which looked great. Highly recommended!
This popular restaurant is known for its old-fashioned atmosphere and traditional soy sauce ramen. The interior has a retro Japanese design, with counter seats on the first floor and table seats on the second. It's a great place to visit in combination with sightseeing in Asakusa, making it especially popular with tourists. They also have English menus and vegan ramen, so foreign tourists can visit with peace of mind. I visited around 12:00 PM on a Sunday. I waited about 20 minutes before being seated. While waiting, they took my order, and I ordered the special ramen and Japanese-style gyoza. The gyoza comes with three pieces per plate, but they are large, so it's very satisfying. PayPay is accepted for payment.
This popular restaurant is located on Denpoin Street. I tried to go before, but the line outside was too long, so I gave up. This time, I was lucky enough to get in without waiting. I ordered the En-tama Ramen. The thin noodles and the light soup with yuzu citrus were delicious.
