A 5-minute walk from Roppongi Station! I visited [Tenho]! [Tenho] is a branch of "Drum Can Soup Tenho," which was founded in 1974 in the Ramen Alley of Sapporo, Hokkaido. The original ramen itself originated in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, about 70 years ago, so its roots are in Asahikawa! This [Tenho] branch opened in 1985. Speaking of [Tenho], the "135" is a favorite that continues to receive strong support from fans. - 1: Noodles firm - 3: Oil rich - 5: Salty This "135" ratio is irresistible for ramen lovers. Until recently, it was only soy sauce flavor, but in recent years, miso flavor has been added! Furthermore, advanced users have a wide variety of options, such as "Menbari," which has even firmer noodles! This time, I had the following for lunch: "135 Char Siu Noodles, Large" ¥1,500 As the name suggests, the noodles are firm and the flavor is rich! I felt like I wanted to pair it with alcohol, but as I ate, it was surprisingly good! The balance became very pleasant (lol). In particular, the balance of the noodles' firmness and the soup, and the refreshing flavor of the char siu, were a good combination! It was ramen that I could understand why it is loved by many fans! I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity! Thank you for the meal!
It had been about 10 years since my last visit. The restaurant is located in the back of the white building across from Tokyo Midtown. You order from a ticket machine as soon as you enter. I ordered the "135 Char Siu Ramen" with the following preferences: 1. Firm noodles, 3. Rich oil, 5. Salty. The thin, curly noodles were still the same. The owner wasn't the same as before, but there were three staff members, and the service was fast!
Tenho after 10 years. I went from Omotesando to Aoyama-itchome because I was planning to go to Roppongi. My goal was to eat Tenho's miso ramen! Looking at Facebook, the last time I visited was 10 years ago. The drum cans were gone, replaced by a signboard. And the old man who used to run the shop wasn't there; he retired 2-3 years ago. Now it's a ticket system, and there's a "135" option for the miso ramen. So I ended up choosing that (lol). I ordered the one with char siu, and it was definitely Tenho. Well, I prefer my noodles firm, but this was delicious too. The combination of the staff with their polite service, who seem to understand the Showa era, and the cheerful kitchen might feel a bit strange for old Tenho fans who were used to the tense atmosphere, but this seems like a better way to connect to the future. Also, taking photos is allowed, and you can order more than one beer. Reforms are underway. But it's good manners to ask if it's okay to take photos. Thank you for the meal. It was delicious. I'll visit again. #Tenho #DrumCanRamenTenho #135 #RoppongiTenho
（2025/02/04） I used to have a completely different image of Tenho, associating it with a ramen shop that was in a different location a long time ago, and I was getting them mixed up. Turns out, it's a different Tenho. Anyway, it seems to be a well-known ramen shop, and I visited during a busy lunch hour. While there wasn't a line to wait in, customers kept coming in one after another. The inside isn't that big, so I guess you'd have to wait sometimes. First, you buy a ticket from the ticket machine at the entrance, but this machine is a bit of a problem... It doesn't accept new bills, and unbelievably, the only bills it accepts are 'one-thousand yen and two-thousand yen' bills. Well, the former is fine, but the latter...?? I made the exact same comment in a review somewhere else before, but the usual thing is that you can't use two-thousand yen bills, but you can use five-thousand and ten-thousand yen bills... I only had a ten-thousand yen bill when I visited, so I had to get it changed to buy a ticket. Getting back on track, I sat down at my seat, and hmm, it takes a while to be served... It felt like a longer wait than the average ramen shop. The ramen that arrived looked ideal, and it had the 'yellowish, curly noodles' that I personally love. I think this image is often associated with miso ramen, but for some reason, I've always liked it. Maybe it's because the ramen shop originates from Hokkaido, even though it's not miso ramen, but anyway, the taste was great, and overall, it was a bowl that I liked. However, it's like, isn't it a bit too little? In various ways (lol) First, the amount of noodles, if you're a man who eats a decent amount, you could probably finish it in a few minutes... I don't need a mountain of food, but I'd like a volume that makes me feel like, "I ate ramen!" Also, the toppings weren't particularly outstanding, and the amount of each was ordinary. I'd like a little more impact. It's good that PayPay is accepted, but it's a hassle to tell the staff verbally. Electronic payments are not only about being cashless, but also about how much effort you can save, so I wish they would just revamp the ticket machine itself. Anyway, the most important thing, the taste itself, is really to my liking, so I'll probably end up going there from time to time. Thank you for the meal!
I had the Chashu Miso Ramen for 1400 yen. I asked for the noodles to be firm, extra fat, and extra salt, just like I used to at Ichisan-go. However, I should have just asked for the noodles to be firm. It's been about 30 years since I last ate here, and I realized after I started eating that my body doesn't crave salt and oil as much as it used to back then.
