Today's lunch was at "Kaneda" in September 2022. I wasn't sure what to order at the ticket machine, but I decided to go with the Plus option. I handed over the food ticket to the staff and read about Kaneda's commitment to providing unlimited toppings on the table. The ramen looked good when it arrived, and the soup had a refreshing bonito flavor that I really enjoyed. The soy sauce and dashi blended perfectly, creating a delightful combination. The noodles were also excellent, with a lovely wheat aroma that complemented the soup well. The slightly firm boiled egg was a bit disappointing, but the standout was the chashu. It had a great texture and a wonderful ginger aroma. Overall, I found the ramen addictively delicious. The menma was also tasty. I only used the unlimited seaweed topping, skipping the egg, which I felt wasn't necessary for this ramen. Thank you for the meal.

I often come to Tokyo Station, but I rarely have the opportunity to go towards Marunouchi instead of Yaesu, and it was almost lunchtime so I decided to explore for ramen. I remembered a colleague mentioning that there were ramen shops lined up in the basement of KITTE, so I decided to visit for the first time. It was around 11:30 and only "Matsudo Tomita Menkizuna" had a long line of more than 10 people, while the other shops had almost no wait to get in. I didn't have time to hesitate, so I felt a slight pressure on myself as it started to get crowded while I was wandering around. I went with my gut feeling and chose the KANEA Men, named after the shop. It turned out to be a great choice. The reason being, as soon as I sat down and saw the free layout of nori, leeks, and egg, I immediately realized that this was related to my favorite "Dame na Rinjin (Shinjuku)" shop. The soy sauce and broth were perfectly blended in the soup, leaving a lingering deliciousness. I remembered ordering thick noodles and extra noodles for Shinjuku, and regretted choosing thin noodles today, but I switched my mindset to enjoy this coincidence and finished the meal with gusto. The chashu was cooked perfectly, and the flavor variation with nori and leeks left me very satisfied. Next time, I want to try the flat zaru soba that the woman next to me was eating, as it looked delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Flat Zaru Soba - ¥1200 KANEDA Noodles - ¥1250 I had been curious about flat noodles for a while, so I decided to visit this place. The flat noodles were similar to himekawa udon, chewy and springy. They had a nice texture that I really enjoyed! The noodles were thick, making it a bit challenging to slurp in one go, but they were chewy and satisfying. The toppings included a large piece of chashu pork, menma (bamboo shoots), and green onions, all generously portioned. The chashu pork was thinly sliced, tender, and delicious. There was also a piece of chashu in the soup. The noodles were tasty, but the soup was disappointing. It had a strong and overly thick soy sauce-based flavor with a lot of oil, which didn't sit well with me. It was too heavy and didn't cling well to the noodles. It might be the least favorite tsukemen I've had so far. KANEDA Noodles is a regular ramen dish with the same toppings as the tsukemen, plus a seasoned soft-boiled egg. You could choose between thick or thin noodles, and I went with the thick ones this time. The soup had a soy sauce base with a subtle bonito flavor, familiar and reliably delicious. The highlight of this place is that you can have unlimited seaweed and eggs. Each person had a box of seaweed to use, adding a nice flavor boost to the ramen. I didn't try the egg this time, but many people were ordering rice and putting the egg on top to enjoy. Cash only.

For some reason, I always wanted to try the side menu's Wagyu beef rice, so I finally visited the restaurant (lol). I arrived around 6 pm and there were already 4 or 5 people in line. I was lucky that it wasn't even more crowded during dinner time. I ordered the "KANEDA noodles and Wagyu beef rice set," which cost 1800 yen. It seemed quite expensive. The table had unlimited eggs and seaweed. When I topped the rice with the egg, the egg white overflowed and spilled onto the table. I'm sorry for making a mess, staff... The ramen was light with a bonito base. I chose thick noodles, but they weren't as thick as I expected, more like medium thickness. Overall, it was a well-balanced, good student-like ramen. The Wagyu beef rice had a subtly sweet seasoning. The meat was tender and didn't disappoint. Although it's a bit pricey, this restaurant might be a good choice when you want to treat yourself a little.

I visited the restaurant around 2 pm on a public holiday. There were about 5 groups waiting in line, and I was seated after about 20 minutes. It was a system where you order at a ticket machine in advance, so my food arrived quickly after I sat down. I ordered flat soba noodles with a boiled egg. There were raw eggs, seaweed, and condiments on the table that you could add as you liked. The dipping sauce was soy sauce-based with meat in it, and I tried dipping the noodles in the sauce, wrapping them in seaweed, and eating them with the egg mixed in. It was delicious and satisfying. If you're really hungry, I recommend getting a larger portion or ordering the black wagyu beef rice as well.

Instagram Post: @_currynyann_ Visit Date: - September 2023, holiday, 6:00 PM - No reservations required - About 3 groups waiting in line Interior: - Counter seats, also tables available Order: - Hira-uchi zaru soba (cold soba noodles) - Kuroki Wagyu rice - KANEDA noodles Impressions: - Hira-uchi zaru soba is refreshing and perfect for summer, with a seemingly light but actually rich soup. Great for those who like a rich flavor. - KANEDA noodles are perfect for those who prefer a lighter taste! The firmness of the seasoned egg is just right. - Eggs and nori (seaweed) are all-you-can-eat!! It's amazing to have all-you-can-eat eggs, especially when the price of eggs is rising. The more nori, the happier you are.

Visit date: September 15, 2023 (Friday) Today's lunch was at "Kaneda," which opened on March 22 last year in "Ramen Gekisenku" on the first basement floor of "KITTE Marunouchi," directly connected to Tokyo Station! Operated by "ZOT Co., Ltd.," which runs "Dame na Rinjin" in Tokyo's Ningyocho and Shinjuku Kabukicho, "Kaneda" is a new brand with a different concept from "Dame na Rinjin." While "Dame na Rinjin" is a stylish and cool restaurant that doesn't feel like a ramen shop, "Kaneda" has a traditional Japanese restaurant-like interior. They serve ramen made with a blend of five types of dried fish such as Setouchi sardines, boiled sardines, bonito flakes, and muroaji dried fish, combined with authentic dark soy sauce and flavored oil made from dried fish and chicken fat. I had heard about the opening of "Kaneda" but hadn't felt particularly motivated to go. However, when I visited "Dame na Rinjin" in Ningyocho this Tuesday to try the collaboration dish "Combined Kombu Water Dipping Noodles" with the affiliated soba restaurant "BASO Omotesando," I saw a repost of "Kaneda" on "Dame na Rinjin's" feed. The image of the "Hirauchi Zaru Soba" caught my attention, with noodles similar to the "Ittan Men" at "Sugoi Niboshi Ramen Nagi" or the specialty "Kounosu Kawahaba Udon" from Konosu City, Saitama, served in a wooden bucket. I was captivated by the visual and decided I had to go try it. So, I arrived at Tokyo Station today! I admired the station building next to foreign tourists and then entered the commercial facility "KITTE Marunouchi," which preserves the historical landscape of the former Tokyo Central Post Office, from the main entrance on the first floor. I went down the escalator to the "Ramen Gekisenku" area and saw "Kaneda" without a signboard or noren, lined up with "Chuka Soba Fukumi," "Matsudo Tomita Menkizuna," "Do Miso," and "Sichuan Tantanmen Aun." Despite it being around 12:30, there was a line of 14 people, just like at "Matsudo Tomita Menkizuna." It seems to be quite popular. After joining the line, I observed that customers were buying their meal tickets first before lining up, as a customer who had just left the store came back to stand behind me. It seems that this is the system at this restaurant. I noticed a sign at the menu stand on the way out that said, "Please purchase a meal ticket at the ticket machine first." If that's the case, they should place the sign near the noren of the "Ramen Gekisenku" area or somewhere visible, as first-time visitors may not know. Inside the restaurant, there were two main menu items: "Kaneda Men" and "Cold Soup Hirauchi Zaru Soba," as well as a set with "A5 Grade Black Wagyu Rice." There were also buttons for "Niboshi," "Ajitama Niboshi," and "Chashu Niboshi." I assumed that "Kaneda Men" would be the "Special Niboshi" or perhaps "Ajitama Chashu Niboshi." I entered the restaurant, and in front of the ticket machine, I saw a large button for "KANEDA Men" and "Cold Soup Hirauchi Zaru Soba," along with a set with "A5 Grade Black Wagyu Rice." Additionally, there were small buttons for "Niboshi," "Ajitama Niboshi," and "Chashu Niboshi." I thought that "KANEDA Men" would be the "Special Niboshi" or maybe "Ajitama Chashu Niboshi." Overall, it was a unique ramen experience, and I was excited to try something different.

I came here around 11 o'clock while on the move to grab a quick bite. There were some shops with long lines, but this place had a moderate amount of people and seemed like I could find a seat. I ordered the unique wide flat noodles with dipping noodles and Wagyu beef rice. The noodles had a nice firm texture. The problem was the soup. It was too salty and greasy, with a kind of overpowering oiliness. I thought if I added soup it would make me thirsty! I quickly finished eating and left. I won't be coming back.

I visited on a regular night. It was before 9pm, so I was able to enter without waiting. I was curious about the beef, but it was too late to have both beef and ramen, so I reluctantly chose just the ramen. The clear soup and the char siu on top looked beautiful. The flavor was stronger than I expected. The richness of the broth hit me hard, different from what I had imagined! However, the beef rice that people around me were eating looked delicious, so I definitely want to try it next time.

This might be my third time visiting. The store opens at 11 am, and I arrived around 3 minutes before opening on a weekday to find a line of about 20 people. As the clock struck 11, we proceeded to buy tickets and enter the store in order. Unfortunately, just before my turn, the store reached full capacity. I finally entered around 11:20. I ordered the soy sauce ramen with a seasoned egg topping and the Wagyu beef rice. Both dishes were incredibly delicious.

Today's dinner was at KANEDA in Tokyo Station during my business trip to Kanto. I ordered the recommended KANEDA noodles and clay pot rice. I topped it with as much egg and seaweed as I liked, and enjoyed it as egg over rice. The broth had a strong flavor of dried fish, and the chashu was moist. The soy sauce was also flavorful, surprisingly rich. It was delicious, thank you for the meal. #Tokyo #TokyoStation #KITTE #Ramen #KANEDA

I arrived around 1:10 PM on a regular day and there were 3 people lined up ahead of me. I bought the tickets first and we were able to enter the restaurant quite quickly. It took less than 10 minutes to receive my dish. I ordered the Hirauchi Zaru Soba for 1200 yen and added extra chashu. It was my first time trying Hirauchi noodles and they were a bit harder to eat than I had expected, haha.

I visited the restaurant for the first time at 8 p.m. on Sunday. The place was full and there was a line of 4 people waiting. I chose the KANEDA ramen, which allows you to choose between thin noodles and thick noodles, and I chose the thick noodles with soy sauce broth. The soup was light and easy to eat. The flat zaru soba had noodles similar to Himokawa udon with cold soy sauce soup. It was a bit chewy, and I felt like I might get tired of it if I ate it all by myself. The nori and raw egg are all-you-can-eat, so adding raw egg to the cold soup might make it more mellow and enjoyable. The A5 rank black wagyu beef rice was delicious, but it was a mini size for 550 yen, so I thought it was a bit expensive.

I went on a Friday night and surprisingly there was no line, so I was able to get in easily. The price was high, but I considered it a treat. I wish they provided more recommendations on how to eat it. The tsukemen noodles were thick, so the broth was a bit strong, it might be better if it was a bit lighter. Adding an egg made it a bit milder. The rumored beef rice was delicious. I wonder if it's worth considering the price.

Arrived around 11:45 on a regular Thursday. There were about 5-6 people already in line. I'm glad I came on a weekday because it gets really crowded during lunch on weekends. The style is to buy a meal ticket first and then line up. I bought meal tickets for two people, including KANEDA noodles, flat cold soba, and one serving of Wagyu beef rice to share. The staff quickly collected our meal tickets. You can choose between thick or thin noodles for the KANEDA noodles, so I went with thick noodles. After a 10-15 minute wait, we were seated inside. The seating consists of only a counter and two table seats, which is probably fewer than other ramen shops in the area, so the turnover seems slow. The KANEDA noodles were delicious! I really liked them. The soy sauce broth had a subtle hint of dried fish, which I usually don't like, but this was natural and tasty. The noodles were thick but not extremely so, and since I'm not picky, I might try thin noodles next time. The addition of yuzu peel gave it a refreshing touch. The chashu was thin but large, with a rare and tender texture that was delicious! The flavored egg was also good, although I couldn't taste it much as I shared it. We added plenty of seaweed and enjoyed it together. The flat cold soba was okay, but I had already eaten the KANEDA noodles, so it didn't stand out much. The noodles were flat and quite thin, not particularly chewy, and didn't have a strong wheat flavor. It seemed like whole wheat noodles with some brown bits in them! The dipping sauce was on the saltier side, with toppings like green onions, menma, chashu, and yuzu peel served separately. I dipped them in the sauce and wrapped them with the noodles to eat. The green onions absorbed too much sauce, making it too strong for my taste compared to the KANEDA noodles. It was still good though! The Wagyu beef rice was a bowl of rice topped with a couple of pieces of well-cooked beef in a sukiyaki-style sauce. I only ordered one, but I ended up ordering another as it was so delicious! I bought the meal ticket and handed it to the staff, adding a raw egg on top! Needless to say, it was delicious - the sauce also seeped slightly into the rice. Ordering the Wagyu beef rice along with other items can get quite expensive, but I would like to come back on a weekday or around 3-4 pm when it's less crowded.

I casually walked into a ramen shop and was enticed by the aroma of soy sauce and dried sardines. The soup had a rich flavor from 5 types of dried sardines and dark soy sauce. I chose thick noodles to fully enjoy the combination of noodles and soup. The low-temperature cooked pork shoulder, finely chopped menma, plenty of green onions, and refreshing yuzu peel added a nice touch. A pinch of leeks and chili pepper at the end gave the soup a spicy kick. The bowl also included A5 wagyu beef and rice cooked in an earthen pot. Topping the dish with an egg, mixing the meat and egg, and wrapping it in rice was pure bliss. Ah, it was delicious! Thank you for the blissful moment! I bow my head and say, "Thank you for the meal." Ebisu Shime.

"KANEDA Men, cold soup flat soba, clay pot rice" at "Kaneda" in Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Known for their dried fish ramen and flat soba noodles. Also offering clay pot rice and unlimited seaweed. A popular spot in the competitive ramen scene of Tokyo Station area."

When I went to Matsudo Tomita Menkizuna before, I noticed a shop that had a bit of a line. This time, there was a line of about 10 people, so I waited for about 20 minutes to get in. I ordered the flat zaru soba that had caught my eye. On the table, there were free raw eggs and seaweed. The noodles were indeed visually impactful, being wide noodles made with whole wheat flour. To prevent the noodles from sticking together, they were soaked in a small amount of water. Since the noodles were wide, they had a good chewy texture, but they didn't quite cling well to the soy sauce-based dipping sauce. I tried adding raw egg, seaweed, and various condiments halfway through to change the flavor, but personally, I felt that the noodles didn't quite mix well with the dipping sauce, which was a bit disappointing.

Tsukemen is also popular, but KANEDA noodles with clear soup and thin noodles were great! You can eat plenty of seaweed and be satisfied. Raw eggs are also all-you-can-eat! It goes well with rice dishes. It was a bit tough to wait in line, but I managed because it's inside a building. It was a stylish restaurant!

After 11 o'clock, I was invited by a kind boss to have lunch at Kane-san in KITTE basement. I bought the cold soup with flat noodles for 1200 yen and added a flavored egg for 150 yen from the vending machine. There were empty seats, so I entered immediately. They had unlimited raw eggs and Yamamoto seaweed. I wonder if I should have ordered rice as well. I regretted it a bit. I ate a lot of seaweed, and after about 5 minutes, the noodles were served. The flat noodles were delicious, and the cold soup was tasty at first, but it got a bit salty and I got tired of it. The portion of noodles was quite large, and my stomach was full. I want to try eating flat noodles with regular ramen soup next time (laughs). I'm full now. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this place because I wanted to eat Hiyashi Chuka noodles. Despite being cold, the flavor is strong and delicious. It's great that the table toppings are free. However, the chicken oil used in the broth is too greasy and overpowering. The large oil droplets are not suitable for the cold sauce. A vegetable-based aromatic oil would be better.
