"【Late October 2024, Solo Visit】 I wasn't actually going on a trip, but I felt like having an ekiben (train bento box) for a change, so I got off at Tokyo Station. It's located in the concourse (Gransta), but it was extremely crowded on a weekend, with a lot of people! Since I was buying dinner and a souvenir for my wife (at home), I took pictures"

"I went there around 4:30 PM on a weekday and was able to get a table right away. I ordered the Kintamamen for ¥1,300. I thought ¥1,300 was a bit pricey, but it came with a marinated egg and a large piece of char siu. Plus, they let you take as much seaweed and raw egg as you want. They also had a good selection of flavor-changing items like garlic "

"I entered the restaurant around 3 PM and had the "Super Rich Tokyo Station Ramen." The turnover was fast, so I was able to get in quickly and the ramen came out soon after. The quality of the ingredients was high, and the toppings like the pointed bamboo shoots and char siu paired well with the soup. The soup wasn't as "super rich" as I expected, b"

"Matsuto Fuda Menban (Matsuto Fuda Noodle Bond) is a popular ramen shop in Matsuto, Chiba Prefecture. I arrived at the shop at 11:18 am on a weekday and found a line of over 15 people.

"I'd always seen the line and wanted to try it. I went on a weekday around 10:00 am and there was almost no wait. It's open early in the morning, so you don't have to aim for opening time, which makes it pretty easy to go. When I handed over my ticket, they asked if I wanted garlic. I missed the chance to ask for extra veggies or change the pork to "

"After a hearty meal and drinks in Shinbashi, I decided to have ramen for dinner at Tokyo Station's Ramen Street. As expected, it was packed. I found Ebisoba Ichigen, a ramen shop with its main branch in Sapporo, a little further away and decided to give it a try. I couldn't forget the taste of the ramen I had at the Sapporo branch. There was a line"

"My friends and I went to Shinmaru Rigoletto on a Friday night for a long-awaited reunion. The restaurant was bustling as usual, and the staff were incredibly busy. The 1-pound steak (¥5,800), limited to only 5 servings a day, was unfortunately sold out, but the rib-eye steak was juicy and had a perfect balance of fat and meat. We enjoyed a variety "

"I was craving something sweet, so I went to the Lieber Tokyo location! I ordered the seasonal Strawberry and Shine Muscat Parfait. The visual impact was impressive—the parfait was beautifully arranged with plenty of strawberries and Shine Muscat grapes. The balance of the tartness from the strawberries, the juiciness of the Shine Muscat, and the cr"

"Delicious Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki This popular restaurant is often featured on TV. I waited in line for about 30 minutes this time. I bought a ticket from the vending machine in front of the store and took a seat. They start cooking after you order, so there's a bit of a wait. I ordered the popular "Denkousekka" (Lightning Flash). The rounde"

"Salt Tsukemen Hirugao Mori (Salt Dipping Noodles Hirugao Mori) This is the place that serves my favorite salt tsukemen. The rich clam broth soup with scallops and the smooth, chewy flat noodles are a perfect match. I still remember the shock I felt when I first tried it. It's a shame that there isn't a store near my home, but I make sure to go whe"

"This restaurant is located inside the Yaesu Central Gate of Tokyo Station. It's a counter-only establishment with a bright and stylish atmosphere. I ordered the shoyu ramen with an egg. At ¥1,530, it's a bit pricey considering the current economic climate and the location, but the rich chicken broth was flavorful and delightful. The soup was refine"

"This is a tonkotsu ramen shop. I went in because of the teriyaki char siu and the short line. I ordered the "Teriyaki Char Siu Ramen" for 1220 yen. The tonkotsu soup was rich but not too heavy, and the noodles were a nice, straight, medium-thin width. A good balance. The teriyaki char siu had a good bite to it. The extra noodles were 60 yen. You ca"
