What customers say?

“ I rarely have ramens but on that day suddenly felt like craving for ramen. Found this shop seems popular on google map. Tried most ordinary one 650 yen. Since it was not enough for me tried to buy extra noodle ticket but the staff(he might be the restaurant owner)kindly informed me one extra noodle is free. So I just enjoyed extra noodle as well :) Not only the ramen but also restaurant atmosphere is good as well. ”

“ I ordered the chicken white soup ramen. The noodles were thin and low in water, so they were firm, and the soup was light chicken white soup, but it had just the right amount of chicken flavor and wasn't too heavy. Personally, I thought the takana topping went really well with it. I appreciated the free refills at this price. The owner seemed young, so I hope he continues to work hard. ”

“ I can't quite find the entrance, but this is my first visit. You go in and purchase your order at the ticket machine on the left. I had the chicken white soup ramen. It was quite delicious. The noodles were boiled just right. I tried all the different types over the course of a few days. They were all delicious. Please note that you cannot order extra noodles for Korean cold noodles. I've certainly never heard of ordering extra noodles for cold noodles. ”

“ The soup is delicious and has a delicate flavor. It makes the most of the umami of the ingredients, so it's delicious even without using a lot of salt. It comes with four types of condiments and one free refill, so it's very cheap. ”

“ I was intrigued by the comment that "mendokoro ichi" is a hidden gem in Akashi City, so I visited for the first time. I ordered the chicken paitan ramen for 650 yen and rice for 150 yen. The price, including tax, was fantastic, thanks to the ticket machine system. My bill came to 800 yen. It was truly delicious. The free refills (100 yen for the second) were absolutely amazing. While it's common in Kyushu to offer two free refills, this was a first for Kansai. At first, I was a little hesitant about the 50 yen for condiments, but the free refills and furikake (seasoned rice seasoning) made me very satisfied. The char siu (chicken slices) were a little too much for my taste, but they provided a tea pitcher at each seat and coat hangers behind the counter seats, which was great. The rice was firm, just the way I like it, with a set of furikake (seasoned rice seasoning), and I could eat as many bowls as I wanted. It's also nice that the ramen comes with a seasoned egg. The staff made a good impression, so it's no wonder they were full within 2 minutes of opening and people were lining up. However, the ticket machines don't accept large denomination bills, and although they will do exchange if you ask, it's a popular ramen shop with a line of customers, so everyone should prepare 1000 yen bills from the start. ”

“ The shutters were closed until just three minutes before the scheduled time, making me worry they might be closed! But they opened a little earlier than scheduled! As expected of the pros! ‼‼ I ordered the following: Koikuchi Shoyu Ramen, Tori Paitan (with condiments), Dandan Noodles, and Char Siu Rice Bowl. A slightly sweet, but delicious taste! The noodles, the Tori Paitan, were thin. It's not exactly a classic, but it has a unique flavor. I like it! ‼‼ It's healthy and light for ramen. It's not overly punchy, but there are no negative aspects to it. It's a flavor that seems like it would appeal to a wide range of people. Thanks for the meal. m(_ _)m They don't seem to serve gyoza in the summer, so I'd like to try it again if I have the chance in the winter. ”

“ This slightly light chicken broth ramen is rich and delicious. It's not a rich ramen, so it might not be for those who like their ramen with a punch. At the time of posting, a bowl costs 750 yen, includes half a boiled egg, and free refills make it the best value for money. They also offer several condiments. There's no free parking, but you can park in the paid parking lot right in front of the restaurant for 100 yen and up. ”

“ This is my first visit to the store. There were only 6 seats at the counter, and I wanted to try the sakura yukke bowl, but unfortunately they didn't have it. Ordered chicken paitan ramen, chashu pork and rice. The clear chicken paitan soup was light and so delicious that I drank it all. Although it's pork, it has a chewy texture that goes well with it. One extra bowl of ramen is free for each bowl of ramen, but additional bowls must be purchased from the ticket vending machine. The taste makes me want to come back again, so if I have a chance, I'll stop by here. Thank you for the treat. ”
