Menfujisaki, a popular ramen restaurant in Kameido, is located about 200 meters from the Kameido Tenjin entrance intersection on Kuramaebashi Street towards Koiwa. It is a 10 minute walk from Kameido Station.
I arrived about 10 minutes after the store opened at 11:30 on weekdays, but the store, which only has counter seats, was already full and there were three customers waiting for a seat. As expected, it's a popular store.
Made with carefully selected homemade noodles. There is a noodle making room to the left of the entrance. Ticket vending machine installed on the opposite side. This time I chose "Wonton Char Siu Soy Sauce Ramen". The price is set at a bullish 1,800 yen.
I was able to be seated in about 15 minutes after purchasing a meal ticket, but normally it would have taken about 5 minutes. Only two staff members are cooking, serving bowls, and setting up seats (with disinfection), so the turnover may be a little slow.
The bowl arrives 9 minutes after being seated. My ``Wonton Char Siu Soy Sauce Ramen'' was cooked after the three people waiting in front of me, who were seated at the same time as me, finished their orders, so I had to wait a little while, but the owner-like person told me, ``Now... "We're making it. We'll keep you waiting," he said with concern. The owner behind the counter carefully wiped the inside of the bowl and placed it on the top shelf of the counter.
A bowl where you can feel the careful workmanship. As the name suggests, wontons and pork fillet cover the homemade noodles. The char siu seems to have been cooked at a low temperature, but it looks like it has been cooked relatively well. Two mitsuba leaves. There are no other ingredients, and the composition is simple. The soup is a relatively bright raccoon color. A thin layer of what appears to be chicken oil is spreading.
When you eat it, you'll notice a sharp soy sauce flavor supported by plenty of umami. The sweetness is modest and the original taste of soy sauce stands out. It was delicious. I found my favorite ramen shop again.
