The shop owner runs the shop alone, and it is a bit far from Hachioji Station, but it is popular among locals. The prices are cheap, with ramen priced at 600 yen and an extra serving of noodles at 100 yen, which is surprising! In the era of ramen costing 1,000 yen per bowl, this price is cheap, right? They are not open for lunch, but they open around 6 pm in the evening and stay open until around 2 am, so if you get hungry late at night, you can go to Nagahama-ya (lol). You can choose from normal tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, and takana flavors. It is especially recommended for those who like rich tonkotsu soup!

I ordered ramen at a ramen shop in Tenjin-cho, Hachioji City, which is only open at night. The light and smooth soy sauce tonkotsu broth was easy to drink. The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles that mixed well with the soup and tasted delicious. The chashu was thinly sliced pork shoulder loin and was juicy. Thank you for the meal.

Ramen "Nagahamaya" Negi Ramen (changed to green onion)! Consistent taste! Delicious! ^_^

I used to frequent this restaurant a lot during my student days. It's been about 20 years now. There is still no other restaurant that can surpass this one. It's a solid 5-star rating without question.

Today, I decided to go to a ramen shop that only operates at night, as I had to work late and had little opportunity to visit such places. I first headed to "Ichimen," but it didn't seem like it was going to open anytime soon, so I decided to try "Nagahamaya" in Tenjin-cho, which I had never been to before. I heard that the owner used to work at "Nagahama Ramen" in Mancho. There doesn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot, so I used the coin parking lot across the street. When I entered the shop, there were four customers already seated and two customers came in after me. The menu was displayed on the wall, and this time I ordered the "La-men" for 600 yen. You can choose between soy sauce and miso broth. There is a self-service water dispenser next to the entrance. The table condiments available include black pepper, grated garlic, pickled ginger, doubanjiang, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, and white sesame seeds. The owner was friendly and seemed to have a good rapport with regular customers, creating a pleasant atmosphere (despite negative reviews elsewhere). After a short wait, my ramen was served. The toppings included chashu pork, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions. The soup was slightly cloudy and rich in flavor. The chashu pork was small but packed with meaty goodness and lacked excessive fat. The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles from Tamura Seimen, with a crunchy texture and delicious taste. The soup was quite strong, making me hesitate whether to leave some behind, but in the end, I finished every last drop. The ramen was quite tasty, but the downside was that the customers on both sides of me were smoking, and the smoke wafted over, which was disappointing. By the way, both Tabelog and RDB listed the restaurant as closed on Mondays, but it seems to have changed to Sundays. The operating hours have also been adjusted to 8:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.

I visited "Nagahama-ke" in Hachioji. It is located on the west side of Hachioji Station, right near the ramen shop "Aoba". Despite the name, it is not a traditional family-style ramen shop. The owner used to work at Nagahama Ramen along Route 16 nearby, although it has been over ten years since then. The shop is open from night until late night, and when I visited on a Saturday night around 2 am, it was about half full, showing its popularity. I ordered the basic ramen for ¥600 with firm noodles. I remembered how I used to enjoy their highball ramen in the past. The table had grated garlic, pickled ginger, doubanjiang, sesame seeds, ramen sauce, as well as soy sauce, chili oil, and vinegar for gyoza. The preparation process seemed unchanged from before, with the owner looking the same, just a bit more gray-haired. The ramen arrived after a short wait. The pork bone soup was a bit lacking in richness compared to the past. The noodles were slightly thicker than thin, with a slightly lower water content. The wood ear mushrooms were whole, not sliced, as always. The chashu was surprisingly small, but strangely tasty. Overall, I was quite disappointed with the ramen, as it felt like a different experience from the delicious one I remembered from over ten years ago. It made me wonder if my taste buds had evolved or if the quality had changed. It was a disappointing realization, as I reflected on other ramen shops in Hachioji that had also declined in quality. If anyone knows of a good pork bone ramen shop in Hachioji, please let me know.

Around 20:15, I visited the restaurant. They only open at night. There is a strong competitor, "Aoba," nearby. Since there seems to be no parking lot, I parked at the 100% across the street. I stayed for about an hour and it cost me 200 yen. Wasn't there a New Hachi in front of this place before? There were 2 customers when I arrived and 5 customers came in later. The restaurant has only a counter with about 10 seats. I ordered a miso chashu ramen (without green onions, 800 yen) for my friend, and a plate of chashu (400 yen) and a beer (500 yen for a medium bottle) for myself. First, I had the beer, which was served in a chilled glass. Then, the plate of chashu arrived. The chashu was thicker than the ones served with ramen, cut in a unique way, almost like shredded chashu for cold noodles. Underneath the chashu, there was plenty of white leeks mixed with soy sauce dressing. It seemed like it would go well with rice (200 yen). In fact, it was delicious. My friend's miso chashu ramen arrived next. The chef was vigorously stirring the back fat scooped from the pot. The miso base was a bit sweet but slightly salty. There was a generous amount of fat, and the tonkotsu soup itself was light but thick. The balance was good. However, the soup was warm. I also ordered a ramen (600 yen) with extra noodles (50 yen) and half a bowl of rice (150 yen). I also saw the chef vigorously stirring the back fat. The ramen was served in a flat, large bowl, similar to a ramen shop style. The noodles were cooked to a firm texture without me specifying. There was a lot of fat, and the soup had a thick texture, but I wish it had been simmered a bit longer to emulsify. The soup was warm and slightly salty. On the counter, there were garlic, doubanjiang, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and black pepper, but no pickled mustard greens. I gradually added toppings to my ramen. I dipped the half bowl of rice into my friend's miso ramen soup. It may have been rude, but it was delicious. The miso soup was quite good. The half bowl of rice came with pickled mustard greens. I used to go to "Nagahama Ramen" where the owner used to work. There were rumors that the owner and "Nagahama Ramen" had a falling out, but the reason I stopped going to "Nagahama Ramen" was because of the warm soup. Perhaps the owner at that time... The current "Nagahama Ramen" seems to have moved away from the traditional style and evolved or changed into a fish-based tonkotsu ramen. In Hachioji, where there are few authentic tonkotsu ramen shops, this place seems to use 100% tonkotsu broth. Personally, if the soup was a bit hotter, I would give it a 0.5 higher rating. The owner is friendly, and I would like to visit again. By the way, the prices for shoyu, miso, and regular (salt?) ramen are the same, and an extra serving of noodles costs 100 yen.

The taste of Nagahama Ramen from Mancho is nostalgic for those who know the taste before it became seafood-based. It reminds me of the old Nagahama Ramen scene, with the soup being stirred in a large pot with a thick wooden stick. However, the slightly salty taste is a bit of a downside. If they could improve the saltiness, it would be perfect. Also, if they could serve the soup a bit hotter. The owner is always friendly and welcoming whenever I visit. This restaurant is one of my top five ramen shops in Hachioji (Nagahama-ya, Kaitomo, Hakata-ya, En-ya, Ajia-ken).

◆This miso ramen is the best I've ever had, maintaining its delicious taste. I've been coming here since around 2000. I occasionally try their regular ramen as well. I haven't tried the new soy sauce menu yet. ◆I recommend the miso ramen with extra green onions and chashu, along with a half portion of rice (with pickled mustard greens on top). It's amazing. Also, try ordering the gyoza if you're in the mood. ◆The owner is a wonderful person, full of warmth and kindness. They love cats. ◆Opening hours: They usually start serving around 7:30 PM. If you go at 7 PM, they'll probably be getting ready. I believe they are closed on Mondays.

The door of the store is quite difficult to close, so please be careful. I'm not sure where the parking lot is located. I recommend using a coin parking. The location is somewhat inconspicuous. Inside the store, there are figures displayed that help create a pleasant atmosphere while waiting. The recommended dish on this street during the day is the nostalgic peanut specialty store, which has a good reputation. As for the ramen, I tried the tonkotsu ramen. It was delicious! Especially the soup was tasty. The owner is also friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere in the store was lively. They are open until 2 am, so if you suddenly feel like having ramen at night, this place in Hachioji is a great choice.

The restaurant opens from 7 PM, but they don't have boiled eggs just in case. The owner is said to have been in Nagahama along Route 16 when they first opened, but they don't talk much about it. The price is 500 yen for both Nagahama ramen and miso flavor. I usually order either Nagahama or miso ramen with an extra serving of noodles for 600 yen, and I'm always satisfied. The miso flavor is really good, with plenty of ground sesame seeds and a teaspoon of doubanjiang added. I can't stop eating it. They are open until late at night, so some people come after drinking. It can get a bit noisy at times, and there are occasional lines, so I might go elsewhere at those times. But I think it's delicious.

I went there a little while ago. The staff seemed to be a (former) boxer? The shop is called Nagahama, and it's a ramen shop. It's a small shop, and there are customers even late at night. They are not open during the day. The ramen was simple and delicious, but it was a bit too salty for me. It made me thirsty.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk from Hachioji Station. Nagahamaya is located along Route 16, and it's memorable for the energetic old man running the place by himself. As of March 2023, the price for their standard ramen is 700 yen.
