I'm starting to get used to the ramen shop with ticket-style ordering. I always think, can you decide as soon as you enter the shop? The trick is to go with the top menu item. That way, even if people line up behind you, you won't feel rushed. I've also gotten a bit used to shops where they ask you a lot of questions. It's probably part of their service, but I think it's best to just go with what the shop recommends. I think that's the way to go. Firm noodles. Even though I'm buying the noodles blindly with a ticket, can I choose the firmness? I like thin Hakata noodles, like wire, but if it's medium-thick noodles, I prefer them on the firmer side. Even after sitting down, there are still things to choose from that I don't understand, so I guess I'll have to do some research or visit a few times to figure it out. So, I ordered medium-thick noodles, firm, light soup, normal oil. I don't know what kind of soup base I chose, like salt or soy sauce. But it doesn't make a big difference. I randomly chose and the taste was okay. One thing I can't stand the most is the shop's loud and seemingly self-indulgent calls. Since the first time I went to a shop with a yellow sign originating from Shiga Prefecture, and it was so noisy that I haven't been back since, that's how bad it was. It's fine to be lively, but if you're going to shout at the top of your lungs, I'd like you to wear a mask. Now, as for the taste, adding raw onions and ginger gave a refreshing accent to the soup. The noodles were just right for me, medium-thick and the soup was light, so that was the right choice. The taste itself wasn't bad. I rarely ordered a flavored egg, but it came with a whole half piece of nori. At first, I was a little unsure how to break it, but even though I make smoked eggs myself, I can't make a perfectly half-cooked egg like this. Another good thing was that there were three sheets of nori, so dipping them little by little into the soup and eating them was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to indulge in a hearty bowl of ramen by myself on a regular day, so I went to Machida Shouten, probably for the fourth time. I ordered the soy sauce tonkotsu ramen, firm noodles, rich flavor, and normal oil level. The soup was rich and flavorful, which I liked. I'm not a big fan of the noodles, but I don't dislike them either. The fried chicken was average. The fried rice wasn't particularly delicious.

I came here for the first time. I would like to rate the customer service as 5 or above. They confirmed the customers before entering, guided them to their seats, and escorted them to the exit when leaving, even in the rain. This ramen shop is unlike any other I've been to before. The taste is a matter of personal preference. You can choose the firmness of the noodles and the amount of fat. The only downside is that the ramen wasn't piping hot. The parking lot is spacious, making it suitable for families. There are tables, high chairs for children, and coloring sheets available. We arrived at 2:20 pm and were the only customers, but four other groups came in after us.

I went there for the first time. I arrived around 2 pm and the soup was a flavor I personally liked. The noodles were a bit different, so I think I prefer the firm noodles. The staff's customer service was excellent! They were all cheerful and even saw me off politely.

Osaka Sakai "Machida Shouten" - Second generation family ramen. Special fried rice set for 1100 yen. You can choose between salt and soy sauce soup, and I chose soy sauce. The soup is rich, but the soy sauce flavor is mild with a hint of sweetness. The medium-thick noodles were delicious! The quail eggs and seasoned egg toppings went well with the rich soup. The fried rice was light and fluffy, which balanced out the strong flavors of the ramen. If you finish the soup, you get a stamp, and after collecting 10 stamps, you get a free bowl of ramen!

The ramen shop I used to frequent, I haven't been there in a while. The other day, my child suddenly said they wanted to go to Machida Shoten, so we went. Yes, it's a ramen shop that captures children's hearts. I had the soy sauce ramen for 720 yen. My child had the kids' ramen for 350 yen. Nowadays, ramen can cost around 1000 yen, so this place offers a reasonable price. The ramen here has a rich and creamy taste, and it's delicious when eaten occasionally. The portion of noodles is quite generous, so you'll leave with a full stomach and I've never tried the side menu. The kids' ramen has a choice of light or rich soup. Even if you choose rich, they make it a bit lighter for children. Spinach is replaced with corn. The kids' meal also comes with jelly and juice, which is a bonus! If you ask for a separate bowl to share, they will give you seaweed and quail eggs as a service. Coloring sheets are provided on the table, so you won't get bored while waiting. But they serve the kids' meal first, so you hardly have to wait. And lastly, children can play with Smart Ball. Depending on the score, they can get snacks or toys, which is one of the attractions. With so many things that make children happy, it's a popular spot for families and easy to take kids to.

I had ramen and fried chicken at Machida Shoten Nakamozu store. The ramen had a typical house style look and taste. It had a rich soup, medium thick noodles, 2 slices of chashu, quail egg, seaweed, and spinach. While drinking the soup, I regretted not ordering rice. The fried chicken was just average.

Yesterday's lunch and dinner \(//∇//) I'm slow to prevent, but they're open until 0:00^o^ ● Ajitama Ramen 820 yen ● Noodle extra serving 100 yen Ordered with firm noodles, strong flavor, and normal oil. It's a ramen that makes you want rice. Thank you for the meal~~ A precious ramen shop that's open even at 21:00. Kakei Ramen Machida Shoten Namba Store 072-256-4234 3-164 Momozotori-ryonancho, Sakai City, Osaka https://tabelog.com/osaka/A2705/A270501/27112889/

There is a ramen shop along the Tokiwa Line that was still open around 9 pm despite the pandemic. Some people may have different opinions, but many found it convenient that it was open at this time. I ordered ramen and rice. Yokohama-style ramen is definitely better with rice. I wish they would offer rice instead of fried rice in their set menu. It's a chain restaurant, but the food is delicious. I would like to eat here regularly.

"Maruta Shouten" is a ramen shop I frequent. It's the only place nearby that serves home-style ramen. Today, my friend and I both had soy sauce ramen. The kids had children's fried rice. They also got to enjoy juice, jelly, coloring books, toys, and snacks. They really love this place. We buy meal tickets first, then choose the firmness of the noodles, richness of the flavor, and amount of oil. We usually go for the standard options. Today, however, the noodles were firmer than usual and the soup seemed richer. Oh well, I guess that happens sometimes. If it were my first visit, would I have kept coming back?

Here we are again. As usual, I ordered ramen (soy sauce). The noodles are too much for me, and the flavor is rich and strong, but I love it. My daughter had the kids' fried rice. They even provided an extra bowl for sharing the ramen. The kids' fried rice came with quail egg and seaweed, along with apple juice and jelly. She must be delighted. They also provided coloring paper and colored pencils to pass the time while waiting. Kids' meals always come out first. And on the way out, they give out candy or toys with a Smart Ball. Today, I got an extra treat and received one candy and one toy each. I'm so happy♪ This place is incredibly child-friendly. What I realized today is that every staff member provides soft and kind customer service. Such a great restaurant~.

At some point, I became a big fan of this ramen restaurant. I come here quite often. My usual order is the soy sauce ramen. Lately, my daughter has been eating quite a bit too, so today I tried the kids' fried rice for her. They also have kids' ramen in rich or light flavors to choose from. The kids' meal comes with fried rice, two jellies, and a juice. And on the way out, my child got a smart ball and a toy or candy, so she was very satisfied. All of this for only 350 yen, which is cheap. The ramen here is still delicious as always, but I have to be careful not to overeat because of heartburn.

At Machida Shoten, they have a special dipping noodles for 1050 yen and fried rice for 460 yen. The fried rice came out quite a bit ahead of the dipping noodles. The dipping noodles come with four large slices of chashu, cabbage, bean sprouts, seaweed, a boiled egg, finely chopped onions in a seafood soup that is surprisingly light. The ramen is on the richer side though. The soup came out last (completely forgot about it). This place seems to only have ramen as the choice, and the cost performance is not great. Machida Shoten, Nambasasayama branch, Osaka Prefecture, Sakai City, Nambasasayama Ryonancho 3-164.

After a long time, I visited Machida Shouten. Despite the heavy rain, I came because I wanted to eat something rich and delicious. And then, the staff lady came to greet us. I ordered ramen and salt ramen. This place always divides opinions between me and my partner. I prefer the ramen (soy sauce). The noodles are a bit shorter than usual, with a rich flavor. Yes, it suits my taste. There were plenty of condiments on the table. Not only seasonings but also large pieces of chopped ginger and onions were available. The thick noodles made it feel quite filling. Even though I shared with my child, I ended up quite full. Oh, and when you order a child's bowl, they also include seaweed and quail eggs, which is nice. Even though we didn't order a child's menu, we received a toy with the Smart Ball. They were really generous with the extras... It was a super kid-friendly restaurant.

This is a rich house-made ramen with a choice of soy tonkotsu and salt tonkotsu. The salt tonkotsu has a creamy taste that makes you crave rice after just a few bites. I like to add raw onions as a topping to slightly change the flavor as I eat. There are many ways to enjoy the ramen, and the restaurant provides plenty of suggestions. Overall, I think this is a place where you can keep coming back and try different ways of eating.

On a regular weekday just before noon, I was in the mood for ramen today~ I carefully considered ramen shops from Abiko-suji to the Tokiwa Line in Osaka Metro!? I drove from Nakamozu Station on the Nankai Koya Line to a shop nearby, only to be turned away and told to come back at 12 o'clock... (ノ_・,) I ended up going to this place instead where there was a decent parking lot in front, which was a big relief~ (*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ The door was left open!? I went in and bought a food ticket from the vending machine right inside... The menu had ramen options - soy sauce tonkotsu or salt tonkotsu, as well as chuka soba and tsukemen~ There was a variety of toppings to choose from as well d(゜-^*)/˚✧₊⁎⁺˳✧༚ Among the many menu options, maybe due to recent self-restraint vibes, I humbly chose the ramen (soy sauce tonkotsu) for ¥720~ As I handed the food ticket to the smiling and energetic older sister at the counter~ ( ๑´•ω•)۶” I was guided to a nice spot at the end of the counter... You could select the firmness of the noodles, the richness of the flavor, and the amount of oil~ I chose firm, normal, normal please!! While looking at the condiments on the counter~ (´･_･`) I waited for my order... The shop was newly opened and quite clean!? The spacious area had a row of counters and 5 tables for 4 people each, looking good for families maybe~:*+.:+ In less than 5 minutes, the ramen arrived~ ( ⓞ⃘ ⺫ ⓞ⃘۶)۶ ੭ྀ The soy sauce tonkotsu soup had a slightly light color!? It was a bit salty with soy sauce, but within an acceptable range~( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ Later on, the umami of pork, beef, and chicken started to kick in... Next, the in-house medium-thick, flat straight noodles were slurped up~ The noodles had a good chewy texture and were delicious♡ Then, the moderately thick chashu was eaten~ The meat had a nice texture, full of pork fat umami!! It was great to eat the chashu as it is or wrap it around the noodles, NICE.｡.:*☆ Furthermore, the fresh spinach among the other toppings added a fresh touch~ The quail egg and roasted seaweed gave it an accent~(*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ They enhanced the flavor of the ramen◎ As I continued eating, the saltiness intensified, so...･ヾ( ๑´д`๑)~ It might be good for younger folks, but in my case, I prefer a milder flavor... A convenient shop where you can quickly come in and eat~♡ I recommend "Kakei Ramen Machida Shoten Nakamozu Store"⁽⁽ૢ(⁎❝ົཽω❝ົཽ⁎)✧MASA☆彡RU*･.｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

On Friday, work ran late so I stopped by a ramen shop that caught my eye on the way home, called Machida Shoten Nakamozu Store. It wasn't too crowded, maybe because it was a weeknight or due to the impact of the coronavirus. They offer a variety of ramen types like house ramen, salt ramen, soy sauce ramen, and miso ramen, as well as toppings and set meals. I decided on the Pork Juicy Dumplings Set (1000 yen) which came with ramen and gyoza. It felt a bit pricey without rice, so I skipped it this time. When ordering, they asked about noodle firmness, soup richness, and oil level, but I went with the standard for everything. They also had chopped onions, ginger, garlic, and vinegar on the counter for adjusting the flavor. The ramen and gyoza arrived almost simultaneously, which was a nice touch. The ramen had toppings like chashu, spinach, seaweed, and quail egg, which was quite luxurious for a regular ramen. The gyoza was decent for the price. The noodles were medium thickness and paired well with the rich soup. Overall, the chain restaurant exceeded my expectations in terms of taste. It's been almost 20 years since the house ramen trend started when I was a student, and I'm starting to feel my age with little reminders like this.

Tamada Shouten's ramen shop in Sakai Naka-Momozono! I love this chain! You can add as much ginger and onions as you want! Be careful not to add too much, as it may make the soup too watery! I especially love the normal tonkotsu shoyu. The staff at the Naka-Momozono shop are friendly and they have a parking lot, so definitely check it out! They seem to have started serving tantanmen too, so I'll have to go try it out again soon!

On this day, I was in Nakayamadera and felt like having ramen, so I went to Machida Shoten. It was past lunchtime so there weren't many customers. I bought a regular ramen from the ticket machine and sat down. They asked me about the firmness of the noodles, the richness of the soup, and the amount of pork fat, but I wasn't sure, so I just said normal. The noodles were thick and the flavor was modern and tasty, appealing to everyone. When I was about to leave, I had finished all the broth, so they tried to give me a stamp, but I said it was okay. That was only at this restaurant. The staff was kind. Thank you for the meal.

In Kansai, there is a Yokohama-style ramen restaurant called "Machida Shoten" that is opening one after another. This "Naka Momozono Branch" in Sakai City is their third store. I have visited the other two stores and recently had dinner at this one. The store is very bright and lively, which is a characteristic of this branch. The ramen is a typical Yokohama-style ramen, perfect for those who like rich and hearty flavors! Since it is a suburban store, there are table seats available, and they cater well to families with children by providing toys. However, the most disappointing thing about Machida Shoten is that rice is not free. I understand that the original Yokohama-style ramen restaurants charge for rice, but as a chain store, they don't have to follow that. It would be great if they could at least offer free rice during lunchtime. I wonder if it's only the suburban stores that charge for rice? Other branches of the same chain (in the city) offer free rice during lunchtime. It's a shame because I know rice goes well with ramen. Overall, thank you for the meal!
