Rich Kama Tamago Chuka Soba (Large) with extra green onions. I visited this place one night. I had heard rumors about a new genre of ramen called "Kama Tamago Chuka Soba." I was curious to know if it was really different from "soupless" ramen, "abura soba," or "maze soba." The restaurant is located near Keikyu Kamata Station. Kamata in Ota Ward is like a second home to me, so I have a strong connection to this area. By the way, JR Kamata Station and Keikyu Kamata Station are completely different stations, about 800m apart. Trying to walk from one to the other to get to Haneda Airport would be quite a challenge. Well, with the prevalence of navigation apps now, it might not be as difficult, but still. Interestingly, there seems to be a plan for a new railway line called the "Kama Kama Line" that would connect Keikyu and JR. For those who have lived around here, you would understand how revolutionary this line would be. It's like a dream come true, but at the same time, there are concerns about what will happen to the shopping street in between. But I digress. I arrived a bit late, so I was able to enter the restaurant smoothly. The menu seemed quite simple, with the simplest option being without any toppings. I opted for the "Rich Kama Tamago" with added spicy green onions because eating plain noodles seemed a bit lonely. While waiting, I was surprised to see a variety of condiments on the table for flavor customization. This required a bit of personal taste. After a short wait, the Kama Tamago arrived. True to its name, the bowl was quite simple in appearance. I dug in immediately. As expected from a dish called "Kama Tamago," the steam rising from the noodles was inviting. I first tried the noodles with the sauce at the bottom without mixing in the egg, and it had a strong soy sauce flavor, almost like eating a rich soy sauce ramen. I then mixed everything together and found it to be a unique blend, like a cross between abura soba and chuka soba. It was delicious. The wavy flat noodles had a great texture, and the added spicy green onions complemented the dish well. After thoroughly enjoying the noodles, it was time for toppings. I sprinkled black pepper for a sharp flavor, which was also very good. Adding spicy leeks and wood ear mushrooms suddenly transformed the taste into a junk food-like direction. I stopped adding toppings at this point, as I felt adding too much would blur the flavors. The noodle portion was just right, leaning towards slightly less. But it was perfect. They offer extra noodles, but they are served with thin noodles, probably due to the cooking time. I think the default flat noodles pair well with this Kama Tamago Chuka Soba, so I would prefer the extra noodles to be served with thick noodles. Hmm, you really can't know until you try it. Depending on the toppings, it can become a completely different dish. This menu is very interesting. I prefer sharp flavors, so next time I might try it without the egg. The name of the Kama Tamago menu was not just for show. Thank you for the meal.

After a drinking party in Kamata, I was taken to this place. It is located inside an arcade near the west exit, with a big sign that stands out. Since I was quite full from the first place, I ordered the "small" size of the Kama-tama. The restaurant has only a counter with 9 seats. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes, featuring medium-thick curly noodles with simple toppings of green onions and egg. Surprisingly, there was a decent amount of soup. It was quite delicious. For noodle lovers, being able to enjoy the noodles is irresistible. There were various toppings on the table for flavor changes, and regular customers were trying different combinations. I would like to visit again when I am hungry next time. Thank you for the meal.

I knew that the founder of Tsukemen Tetsu had opened a total of 5 stores at Tokyo Metropolitan University, with ramen kama-tama as the main dish. I had heard that kama-tama ramen was becoming popular, with 2 stores in Kamata and 2 stores in the outskirts of Tokyo, but I had been somewhat hesitant to try it. However, when I finally tried it, I found that there were plenty of toppings to choose from, allowing me to customize my bowl of ramen to my liking. It was fun and delicious. I ordered the "Rich" version of kama-tama, which comes with chashu and menma. The dish was very simple, with just sauce and a raw egg yolk, but it was delicious. It reminded me more of a simple abura soba than kama-tama. In addition to the sauce, a little soup is also added, and there is a strong pepper flavor. The simplicity of the dish allows for enjoyment in adding various toppings. There are 12 types of condiments on the table for you to use as you like, such as fried green onions, chili oil, and shiitake vinegar. Garlic and spicy garlic chives are also delicious. I also want to try adding cheese someday. I heard that you can also get a second serving of noodles with a different type of noodles than the original, and there is also a rumor about soup refills. I really got hooked on this dish. I highly recommend it. You can see a little bit of my thoughts in the photos.

Rich Karami - Regular size I arrived just after the 11:00 rotation and there was one customer already inside. A few minutes later, my donburi noodles arrived, and they were smooth and chewy, very delicious! The chashu and menma weren't too overpowering, which was good. However, if you want to truly taste the richness of the karami, you might want to skip the negi (green onions) as they can be a bit overpowering and make the whole dish smell like onions. The variety of free toppings available is great, but I think trying the dish without any toppings might help you appreciate the karami flavor more. I'll try that next time. Thank you for the meal.

Visited around 1:30 pm on a regular day. There were only 4 customers at the counter. I ordered the "Nami" ramen with extra green onions. First, I tried the noodles on their own. They were thick and had a chewy texture. I loved it! Mixing the noodles with green onions and egg made it even more delicious. There were various condiments on the table to choose from, which was a nice touch. I added extra noodles dipped in cashew soup. The extra noodles were thinner than the original ones, but still tasty. I am full and satisfied.

The moment I took a bite, I couldn't help but exclaim how delicious it was! The noodles were incredibly tasty. There were various toppings available, allowing me to customize to my liking. I added a variety of toppings to my small bowl, and it was very affordable. I felt like I wanted to go back regularly to eat there.

I had ramen for the first time during the day. It cost 590 yen. As expected, the standard flavor was lacking, so I decided to enhance it by adding garlic. However, since I was at work, I decided to make it spicier for a change in taste. I added a lot of chili oil and spicy leeks. I still wanted garlic, but I had to resist. I realized that I forgot to use a coupon when I saw the person next to me using one. I'll remember to use it next time. Oh, I also forgot to add wood ear mushrooms. Oh well, it's fine.

Located right near Keikyu Kamata Station, close to the entrance of an arcade street. The restaurant operates with a ticket machine system and has only counter seats. Various condiments are available at the counter for flavor customization. Although there was mention on Instagram about closing around July, there was no such notice at the restaurant. I ordered a small size of the Kamatama ramen without the "spicy negi" option, but I could see the kitchen staff mixing in negi, which made me worried about getting negi covered in chili oil. However, the negi turned out to be non-spicy, which was a relief. Even in the small size, the noodle portion was quite generous and there was a decent amount of broth, so adding just one egg didn't make it resemble Kamatama udon. It's better to think of it as a different dish. I enjoyed customizing the flavor with various condiments, which made the experience more interesting. There was a sign advertising soup refills, and since the dish had plenty of negi, having toothpicks readily available at the counter would have been helpful.

Located about a 3-minute walk from Keikyu Kamata Station, Napoleonken is a unique restaurant in the Asto shopping street. Here's what you can expect at this place: - Specializing in Kamatama Ramen with noodles, egg, and green onions only - Customize your ramen with various toppings - When you order an extra serving of noodles, a completely different noodle in a rich seafood broth will be served - Kamatama Chuka Soba (regular) ¥590 - Extra noodles ¥150 The noodles are thick, curly, and cooked in a pot. Mix them with the sauce and egg, and you'll experience a delicious dish with a chewy texture and a perfect firmness. It's already tasty on its own, but the table condiments are also impressive, including shiitake vinegar, bonito powder, spicy oil, and more. The extra noodles option is innovative as it comes with a thin noodle in a rich seafood broth. The thin noodles have a firm bite and go well with the soup. I still haven't figured out the best way to eat the extra noodles, but they are so delicious that I recommend ordering them. My favorite toppings for Kamatama Chuka Soba are extra shiitake mushrooms, extra bonito powder, a bit of garlic, plenty of fried green onions, and a little spicy oil. I will definitely revisit this place to enjoy another unique bowl of ramen. Thank you for the meal.

Located in the arcade between Keikyu Kamata and JR Kamata. Ordered the simplest option. A style where you can add your preferred condiments from the table and eat. The leeks are quite spicy!! The extra serving is soaked in soup and can be eaten as is. It's quite filling. It was delicious.

Today, I had a late lunch in Kamata. I visited "Kamatama Chuka Soba Napoleonken," which I had been curious about. I arrived at the restaurant around 2 pm and there was no wait. This place seems to be a new concept by Komiyama-san from Tsukemen TETSU. It's like a mixed noodle version of the Fukudashi Chuka Soba in Hirai. I chose the Kamatama Small for 490 yen from the ticket machine. It's the only option for Kamatama, which is quite straightforward. If you become friends on LINE, you get a free topping service. I registered and asked for menma. After a wait of about 5 minutes, my dish arrived. The visual was exactly Kamatama Ramen with green onions, raw egg, and noodles, so there's no other name that comes to mind. I mixed it up right away. The soy sauce dressing had a strong bonito flavor, and the pepper was a nice accent. The noodles were thick, curly noodles with a high water content. They were chewy and mixed well with the sauce, making it delicious. The green onions added a nice touch. One of the unique features here is the variety of tableside condiments. I tried a little of each, and my favorite was the fried green onions and bonito flakes powder. The small portion had about 110g of noodles, which was just the right amount for when you're a little hungry. Overall, it's a good suggestion for a new mixed noodle dish.

A shop located in a shopping street near Keikyu Kamata Station. The eye-catching exterior caught my attention, so I decided to have dinner there. The small shop has only counter seats. First, you purchase a meal ticket from the ticket machine. The menu only offers "Kamatama Chuka Soba," with various options for toppings and sizes. This time, I chose the "Rich & Spicy Negi Kamatama (Large) for 950 yen." It was ready in about 8 minutes. The hot noodles were mixed well with egg yolk and spicy negi, giving it a taste closer to abura soba than kamatama. The thick and chewy noodles paired well with the spicy negi, and the generous chashu and flavorful menma were delicious. I opted for the large size, so it was quite filling. If you want to truly savor kamatama chuka soba, I recommend trying it without the spicy negi. I would like to try the default kamatama when I have the chance.

I tried Kama-tama in Kamata. This place also has a branch at the west exit, where I have eaten before. Today, I was feeling fancy so I went for the small size of the rich Kama-tama. When it arrived, I noticed it was different from the rich one at the west exit. I remember the rich one had shredded chashu, but this one didn't. The menma also had a completely different color. It seems like the toppings can vary between different branches. I prefer the shredded chashu because it's easier to mix in. The menma here has a stronger flavor which I like. I added wood ear mushrooms, fried green onions, and spicy oil to customize my bowl. Overall, it was delicious as always. The small size was satisfying enough.

On a regular day, two people were waiting to be seated at 12:15. They ordered the spicy negi ramen with extra negi using a LINE coupon. Inside the restaurant, there were two men and one woman. They started with the negi ramen, mixing it well. As they continued to slurp, they found it to be delicious. However, the sauce splattered and stained their shirt. They added bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, and garlic to enhance the flavor. The replacement noodles were soaked in a flavorful broth. They finished by dipping the noodles in the soup and slurping it all up. In the end, they enjoyed the meal.

On my fourth visit, I enjoyed mixing raw egg, hot fresh noodles, and free toppings together and eating them all at once. It was delicious. Even the small size had a good amount of food. I wonder why the chefs are always different? Has the cleanliness and taste declined? The interior of the restaurant is hot.

I visited the restaurant on a weekday afternoon around 11:30. There were two customers before me and three customers after me. I ordered the Rich Tan Tan Men in small size with extra green onions through the LINE service. It was definitely something new, different from both soupless ramen and oil noodles. The soup was surprisingly plentiful and sweet soy sauce-based, and the thick curly noodles were easy to slurp. The spicy green onions paired well with the dish. I enjoyed it until the last bite. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Today's choice for the final stop of our Kamata drinking tour is a specialty shop for mixed noodles called "Kamatama Chuka Soba." Since it's the end of the night, I opted for a small size, and because it was a hot day, I decided to try their limited edition cold noodles. I ordered the Spicy Negi Kamatama (small) for 550 yen including tax, and added the option to have it cold for an extra 100 yen including tax. One thing to note is the variety of condiments available on the table, with over 10 different options for flavor customization. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes. Visually, it looks similar to regular Kamatama noodles. I changed the Negi topping to spicy Negi, but I'm not sure if it was worth the extra 60 yen. Upon tasting, the noodles were wide and chewy, with a soy sauce-based sauce that had a hint of acidity, giving it a cold noodle salad-like flavor. Topped with egg yolk, spicy Negi, sesame seeds, and crunchy soy sauce condiments. Hmm, it's kind of... mediocre. It doesn't quite hit the mark as a cold mixed noodles or a cold noodle salad. I tried using the condiments on the table, and found that the "Bakanira" seasoning worked well, but the rest didn't quite come together to elevate the dish. It's a simple suggestion, but adding mayonnaise might have made it slightly richer and more interesting. Overall, it was an okay meal. If I were to visit again, I would opt for the regular warm noodles next time. *Visit Rating: 3.50

On a Saturday afternoon, I got off at Keikyu Kamata on my way back from the airport and decided to stroll around the shopping street as it was lunchtime. I came across a sign for "Kamatama Chuka Soba," a new genre of noodles. The noodles were thick like Jiro-style, so I nervously ordered a large serving, but the portion was reasonable. The noodles had a smooth texture and went down easily, and I enjoyed using the various condiments to change up the flavor. Before I knew it, I had finished the meal. While it didn't have as much impact as it looked, I found it delicious until the end.

I went around 22:30 on a weekday and it was almost full. By default, as shown in the photo, it comes with noodles, egg, and green onions. They also have toppings like wood ear mushrooms, spicy garlic chives, and fried onions on the table, so you can customize your dish and never get tired of it. It's cheap, delicious, and I want to come back again.

Last time, I happened to go to "Napoleon-tei". I couldn't forget the taste, so every time I passed by the store, there was a long line and I couldn't get in. But today, there was no line, so I decided to give it another try. I ordered the Kama-tama small with an egg. The noodles were flat and the soup was creamy like Kama-tama udon, but it tasted more like ramen than udon. It felt similar to abura soba. It's delicious on its own, but when you add various toppings, the taste completely changes. Each seasoning alters the taste, making it milder, spicier, or more flavorful. This taste is addictive. It's a junky flavor, but with a high repeat rate. There were quite a few female customers as well. If you like abura soba or junky flavors, I recommend trying this place.

I happened to be wandering around the shopping street in Keikyu Kamata and came across a place called "Napoleonken" that I had saved on Tabelog. I saw that they were ranked first in the new store category of the TRY Ramen Grand Prix (not the main store but a branch). I felt like trying it after watching a YouTube video, so I decided to go. I ordered the small size of the Kamatama ramen (with chashu and menma) with an extra egg. The creaminess of the egg that I remember from when I had Kamatama udon was just as I imagined, but the taste of the ramen was different. It was similar to abura soba. The noodles were flat and mixed well with the soup. It was delicious as it was, but there were a variety of toppings available, such as garlic, kombu vinegar, and ginger, allowing you to change the flavor. You could also add unlimited amounts of wood ear mushrooms and fried green onions. As I tried different toppings, the taste transformed into something spicy and junky enough to make me sweat. Even though I knew it wasn't good for my body, I ended up finishing the soup. It might be a taste that gets you hooked. I thought there would be a lot of repeat customers.
