1st cup
Special Tsukesoba (500g extra noodles) & Pork bowl

It has a smooth mouthfeel, a fresh and smooth slurping sensation, goes down the throat smoothly, and has a chewy texture that gives it a wheat feel that passes through the nasal passages.
The combination of seafood, chicken, and soy sauce makes a great combination with the perfectly balanced dipping sauce.
Absolutely the best. After eating, I immediately want to eat again.

2nd cup
Chinese noodles with water and chicken & rice with Ranno egg

I am very excited about the rich aroma and sparkling chicken oil.
When you take a sip, you'll be shocked by the balance between the thickness of the chicken oil, the flavor of the chicken, and the roundness and aroma of the soy sauce.
The combination of the highest quality flat, medium-thin noodles and the soup is amazing.
The chicken sensation that increases with temperature changes is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Ranno egg rice is also great!
Beautiful, rich egg yolks, and delicious egg whites with no texture or odor.
Experience the wonders of egg and egg-cooked rice.

The ramen here is delicious.

I often go here during lunch on my days off. A store with only a counter. It gets crowded before 12:00, so I usually go around 11:30. Buy a meal ticket and hand the paper to the employee.

Very polite ramen. very delicious. On this day, I ordered Tsukemen. The chopped chashu pork in the dipping sauce does a good job.
