Usage: Weekdays Access: Directly connected to Shinjuku-sanchome Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line, located on the second basement floor of Keio Frente. *C2 Exit* On weekdays, the shop opens at 7:00 AM. I visited around 8:05 AM without waiting in line. Cash payment is required in advance in the morning. The shop only has counter seats. Orders are placed verbally. Niboshi Tsukemen (Cold Noodle Dip) - ¥1100 *Noodle size can be chosen between regular and large* The dish was served in about 10 minutes! Just seeing the noodles, the piping hot dipping broth, and the sous-vide pork belly filled me with anticipation. The noodles were chewy, the dipping broth was thick and rich with no bitterness from the dried bonito, and it clung perfectly to the noodles. The onions added a nice touch and were delicious. It was great to be able to enjoy this quality of food in the morning. In the morning, the ¥500 morning ramen seems to be the most popular choice. The location is directly connected to the station, making it very accessible. I definitely want to visit again. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!
I visited on a weekday evening, a little before 9 PM! It's located on the second basement floor of a building directly connected to Shinjuku Sanchome Station. The restaurant only has counter seating. It was almost full, but I was lucky to get a seat without waiting. While I was there, there were two groups waiting outside... I ordered the: ☆ Fish and Spicy Tsukemen (Regular) ¥1300 There's a ticket machine where you purchase your meal. They accept cashless payments! It took about 10 minutes for my food to arrive. The dipping broth had just the right amount of spice, and the noodles were absolutely my type! I loved their chewiness and smooth texture. And the chicken chashu! It was so tender and moist, I was blown away! They also let you reheat the dipping broth. They also serve morning ramen. The staff were all so friendly. I'll definitely be back again. Thank you for the delicious meal!
Saturday, 10:30 am. There was one customer ahead of me and two behind me. I thought it would be busier on a weekday morning, with more people coming and going. But since it was a Saturday, the area was sparsely populated. Or maybe it's just that this area hasn't woken up yet, because there's no way the population density of Shinjuku is low on a weekend. This shop is located on the second basement floor of the Frente Shinjuku Sanchome building, connected to Shinjuku Sanchome Station. I've been here many times, but at some point they started opening at 7 am, offering morning ramen for 500 yen from 7 to 11 am. I came here specifically for that morning ramen. The ticket machine wasn't working, so I paid in cash. Actually, the air conditioner wasn't working either, and it was stiflingly hot... I ordered verbally and paid cash on the spot. Morning Ramen Soy Sauce (500 yen) with a soft-boiled egg (Instagram follow) There was one staff member, who seemed very busy with various preparations and dealing with delivery personnel, so there wasn't really any concept of customer service? Well, it's fine. The taste was excellent. A beautiful clear soy sauce soup, with a clear, deeply flavorful niboshi broth. The medium-thin straight noodles had a nice snap, and I wouldn't have felt out of place if they had charged 1050 yen for it. No, I think the niboshi soy sauce ramen that the customer behind me ordered probably had the same base soup and noodles, just different toppings. Of course, the soft-boiled egg was also a high-quality item that they regularly serve. All of this for 500 yen, and this is right in the heart of Shinjuku! The service they provide is incredible. Apparently, they also offer a salt-based morning ramen, so you know what? Getting off the train for morning ramen is a surefire way to win. Excuse me, but I'll be back for more morning ramen.
The restaurant is located right in front of the C2 exit of Shinjuku Sanchome Station. It's a long-established tsukemen shop that has been in Shinjuku for 14 years. They offer morning ramen for a reasonable price starting at 7 am, perfect for a boost of energy. I visited around 9 pm on a weekday and the place was packed with a 3-person wait. I was able to get in after about 10 minutes. It's a ticket system, so you purchase your meal before waiting. Although it's only a counter with 11 seats, it's long and narrow, giving a sense of spaciousness. ◆ Rich Tsukemen The soup has a rich, dried bonito flavor with a unique twist. The thick, chewy noodles are substantial and blend well with the dipping sauce. By the way, a large portion is free. The menu is diverse and they accept cashless payments. The prices have been adjusted, with the basic tsukemen going from 950 yen to 1,100 yen. Considering the location, it's a fair price. Next time, I'm going to try the mazesoba. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!
I ordered the Nibosi Shoyu Ramen! The soup was light and flavorful, and the noodles were smooth and thin. It was simply delicious! The restaurant only has counter seating, but with 11 seats, the turnover is fast, even considering its location in the basement of Shinjuku. You purchase your tickets at a vending machine before entering or waiting. The vending machine is cashless, so if you want to pay with cash, you'll need to ask a staff member. My companion ordered the Tsukemen. It was also simply delicious! The niboshi flavor was strong.
