"I visited Menya Ichi. I arrived early to avoid the long line that forms, just before the evening opening. I decided on the limited 'Clam Dashi Soba (White)' after receiving the menu from the staff. By the time the shop opened, there was already a huge line, with many foreign tourists waiting as well. Once the shop opened, I was seated and my order was ready in about 3 minutes. The bowl looked vibrant, with plenty of toppings, especially the large clams making an impact. I took a sip of the soup, which was sweet and elegant with a strong clam flavor, making it delicious. The noodles were also good, and the toppings, like the bamboo shoots, added a nice taste and texture. The chashu and seaweed were tasty as well. The thick clams paired well with the soup. I finished it in no time and was completely satisfied. When I left the shop, there were more than 30 people waiting in line. Amazing. Thank you for the meal!"
