Shinonome Noodle

Delicious soup and of course noodles. And the owner is a wonderful woman with a good sense of humor. Highly recommend!!

Kameido has recently become a hot spot for ramen. One of those stores is Shinonome Noodle. The location is about 100m from the Kameido Tenjin entrance intersection on Kuramaebashi Street towards Koiwa. 10 minutes walk from JR Kameido Station.
When you step through the noren curtain with the words ``Shinonome Noodles'' painted in black on a white background and pull the sliding door, you will find 6 counter seats behind a table for 4 people.

The ticket vending machine is a touch panel type. Salt is on the top tier and soy sauce is on the second tier. For the so-called special "all-topped salt ramen" and "all-topped soy sauce ramen," you can choose between smoked eggs and salted eggs.
The ``Zanse Salt Ramen (smoked egg)'' that I chose this time is a bowl that shows the careful work that goes into it. Three pieces of jet black seaweed and three pieces of char siu with plenty of presence completely cover the homemade noodles. Also two chicken dumplings, smoked egg, and menma. The char siu seems to be cooked at a low temperature.

The soup is based on Akami chicken from Shiga Prefecture, and when I put it in my mouth, I could feel the strong flavor of seafood such as dried sardines and bonito flakes. It overlaps with the flavor of the chicken base, giving it a richness that makes it hard to believe that it's a non-alcoholic dish. The slight sourness that seems to come from dried sardines accents the mellow soup. This soup is both sophisticated and delicate.

The noodles are medium thick and straight. It's similar to homemade noodles. I heard that they use homemade noodles, but now they seem to have stopped making noodles and are using noodles from Menya Soto, a famous noodle shop in Kyoto. Apparently, the same noodles are used in the soy sauce as well.

Visited on Sunday afternoon. I only ordered the all-top salt ramen. The customer service is wonderful. The atmosphere of the store is also nice. The cleanliness is also outstanding. The noodles are thick and chewy, just the way I like them, and delicious. The soup is also really good quality. I also liked the toppings, including the chashu. This is delicious ramen. It feels like modern ramen. It costs 1,380 yen, but I'm not satisfied with the quantity.
