I had a bowl of mixed miso ramen. It contained chashu, bamboo shoots, green onions, bean sprouts, egg, and ground meat. Having an egg in it always makes me excited. The soup was a bit different from my preference, but the noodles and especially the chashu were delicious. During lunchtime, they offer a small bowl of rice as a service.

The combination miso ramen with half a boiled egg and tender braised pork is delicious. It's been a while since I've had it, but it's so good. The slightly sweet miso ramen is perfect for hot summer days when you want to eat something hearty. Oh, and I also got a popular takeout yakisoba.

Visit on June 12, 2023! Combined miso for 900 yen with a small rice lunchtime service. It's been about 3 years since my last visit. The soup is very rich and flavorful, and the chashu is so tender that it melts in your mouth. The noodles are delicious as they are, but personally, I prefer slightly thicker curly noodles. I will definitely come back here more often.

- Taste... The chashu in the dipping sauce melted in my mouth. - Price... The total for dipping noodles and gyoza was under 1500 yen, so I think it's cheap. - Atmosphere... The retro atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and inviting. - Service... The staff were extremely friendly. - Other ===========

Sometimes I really crave for sour and spicy tantanmen, but it's hard to find a place where I can easily eat it. My favorite noodle ranking is the incredibly beautiful visual sour and spicy tantanmen from Kojiya. Although I also love the sour and spicy tantanmen from the Yangzhou merchants in Kanto, I don't have any plans to go to Tokyo for a while. So, I wanted to explore other options and ended up at Takekura after searching online. As for the actual meal, the sour and spicy tantanmen looks quite ordinary, but doesn't seem very spicy. It's actually a very refreshing and mild version of sour and spicy tantanmen. The soup is really delicious! The ingredients include the essential egg for tantanmen, as well as bamboo shoots, chashu, and green onions, which are typical ramen toppings. So, it's more like ramen with sour and spicy flavor, but it's delicious. The chashu is tender and tasty! But honestly, chashu may not really go with sour and spicy tantanmen... However, the chashu itself is delicious, so it's still good. The noodles are the same curly noodles from Sagamiya as in ramen. Personally, I prefer the thick flat noodles like the ones from Yangzhou merchants, but I can't expect that here. Nevertheless, it's still delicious. It used to be a limited-time menu a few years ago, but now it's a regular menu item. Overall, the sour and spicy tantanmen here was delicious, so I will definitely come back. And as rumored, the customer service is really great. The mother's smile is very soothing. Thank you for the meal. Noodles: Sagamiya Seimen

Nango 18-chome is synonymous with Takekura. Their soy sauce flavored paitan ramen is amazing, with the soup and noodles complementing each other perfectly. The noodles slide smoothly into your mouth. The chashu pork is slightly fatty and tender, falling apart easily. Adding garlic and a bit of vinegar to the spoon and gradually mixing it in is also fantastic. Don't miss the chashu pork! #ramen #Nango18chome #Takekura #paitanramen #menma #shinachiku #chikuwashinachikuchikuwa #garlic #thickchashu #gatherdreams #chashu #yakibuta #yakibutachahanomusubi #Satsumakochi #defense #BanditKeith #ramen #delicious

Visited Takezo with my son after about 10 years. Ordered the curry tsukemen because it caught my eye. It was served in about 10 minutes. While waiting, I heard that the yakisoba is recommended and now I'm really curious about it. I decided to try it next time and enjoyed the dish I ordered. The curry flavor goes well with the tsukemen! Maybe a different type of noodles would be better...but considering this place didn't originally serve tsukemen, I'm grateful that they cater to their customers' needs. I'll come back soon to try the yakisoba. Thank you for the meal!

The weather is snowy! Even though it's best to stay close by when going out in this weather, I decided to drive to Kiyota and made it to "Takezo"! The road conditions were not too bad, and the snow was not falling heavily, so I thought I could make it there. I arrived earlier than the opening time, so I waited in the parking lot until the owner signaled the opening at 11:30. It seems that there was a price change last year, and I found some changes in the prices this time as well, so I will attach the menu for reference. I ordered the "Spicy Abura Soba with Mayonnaise (¥930)". The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles, with plenty of char siu, sliced bamboo shoots, and lettuce, all topped with mayonnaise. The noodles had a smooth texture typical of abura soba, but they were quite thick and had a good chewiness. The spiciness was toned down by the mayonnaise, giving it a nice kick. Although I was hoping for a soft-boiled egg, it was hard-boiled, which was a bit disappointing. The noodles were delicious, with a good balance of spiciness and richness. For those who find the spiciness too much, there are condiments on the table to adjust the heat level, making it suitable for a wide range of customers. The lettuce added a nice crunch without being just a filler, which I really liked. The char siu was tender and easily fell apart with chopsticks, yet had a slight chewiness when bitten, which was a nice touch. It was a bit oily, but I enjoy rich flavors, so I couldn't stop eating it! By the time I finished, I felt fuller and more satisfied than I expected. Abura soba may look less filling than ramen due to the lack of soup, but with its generous toppings, it actually fills you up quite well. Plus, the mayonnaise adds a touch of indulgence and probably some calories too, but it was so delicious, so it's all good! Next time I go, I'll try the ramen! Thank you for the meal.

I had the miso ramen with set fried rice. I visited in the evening and the restaurant was almost full, but they warmly welcomed me and the atmosphere was great. The soup was deliciously salty the more I drank it. The medium-thin curly noodles were smooth and tasty. The chashu was tender and tasty. The mini chashu rice bowl was cheap, tasty, and filling. Under the tender chashu, there was stir-fried onions, which added a nice touch.

As soon as I entered the store, I felt welcomed. The service was very good. It was my first time visiting this restaurant, but I really liked it. This kind of place pays attention to every detail, which is why the staff can communicate well with each other and not miss a beat. I chose the miso ramen. It arrived within 4-5 minutes after ordering. Look, it's delicious. The flavor is robust but not overpowering. There were plenty of vegetables, and it was just the taste I like. Thank you for the meal.

This is a shop located on the first floor of an apartment building. The interior is covered with corrugated iron sheets, giving it a retro Showa era vibe. However, it feels spacious and clean. The most popular item is the mixed miso ramen, which has a rich soup. It looks simple with just egg, bamboo shoots, and green onions, but it also has well-distributed chashu pork slices. There is only one type of soy sauce mentioned, but you can choose between clear and rich broth.

I visited for the first time and had salt ramen with mini fried rice. I was torn between choosing mixed miso or sticking with my usual salt, but ended up going with my basic salt. The taste was hard to describe, but it was satisfying. The ramen had salt flavor with minced meat in it. The fried rice was also delicious. Both dishes were served piping hot. Next time, I want to try the mixed miso.

This is a miso ramen that I wanted to eat. It's a classic Sapporo miso, but the oil is moderate and on the refreshing side. Personally, I think this aspect is important lately, haha. It comes with stir-fried vegetables and ground meat. For some reason, when ground meat is included, I feel at ease and open up. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, and I was able to enjoy the meal until the end. I entered the restaurant almost as soon as it opened, but it quickly became full and there was a waiting list. It was a good decision to go early to anticipate the parking lot getting full. There were also other menu items that caught my eye, such as curry ramen, tantanmen, abura soba, and fried rice. (⊃^-^)⊃

I arrived right at the opening time on Sunday at 11:30 am. I was the first customer, with two more groups arriving later. It had been almost half a year since my last visit. There were three staff members besides the owner. As the weather was getting colder, I was craving a rich and bold miso ramen. I ordered the "Awase Miso" (820 yen). It arrived in about 3 minutes. The soup was not as bold as before, which was disappointing. The taste was still good, but it felt lighter. The noodles were firm, which I liked. The chashu was very tender and fell apart easily. The half boiled seasoned egg was also a bit hard. Although the richness of the miso flavor was not as strong as before, it was still tasty. The garlic added a nice touch, but I did notice a slight salty aftertaste on my tongue. Despite the decrease in flavor intensity, I appreciate the good service and hospitality from the owner and staff, so I decided to give them a higher rating in the "service" aspect. I plan to try the "Sesame Tan Tan Men" next time.

After finishing work in Kiyota, I decided to have dinner before heading home. I found a ramen shop that I had been wanting to try, so I went there right away. When I arrived, there were a few customers already inside. The staff greeted me warmly and I sat down at a table to check the menu. I decided to order their signature miso ramen. The miso ramen came with a generous amount of soup, made with animal broth and fragrant vegetables, a classic Sapporo miso ramen. The miso flavor was rich and savory, with a nice balance of sweetness and depth. The soup was not too heavy, so I didn't get tired of it even though there was a lot of it. The noodles were medium-thin and slightly chewy, cooked just right. The chashu was thick and tender, falling apart easily. Other toppings included a boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and green onions. I don't usually eat miso ramen, but I really enjoyed the miso ramen at this place. I would like to try a different menu item next time. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant was already packed before noon. After waiting for 5 minutes, I was led to a small table for two, almost like an extra. A bit disappointed (๑¯³¯๑). Customers kept coming in one after another, showing how popular this place is. I decided to order the mixed miso ramen for 830 yen. I hesitated about getting the free rice during lunchtime, but ended up ordering it anyway ٩(•̀•́๑). I should have had the willpower to refuse. The soup was delicious after taking a few sips. The slightly thin, curly yellow noodles were really good, I liked them. And the soft, melt-in-your-mouth chashu was so tasty (о´∀`о)ﾉ The ramen was so good that I ended up eating a lot of rice too. As a result, I felt like, "Oh, I'm so full...". This place not only has great food but also the owners' humility and excellent customer service. That's probably why they have a constant flow of customers. It's quite charming.

I wanted to have fried rice for lunch after my golf game on Monday, so I went exploring for a ramen shop and came across Taketora, a popular spot in Nango. I ordered the ramen with miso flavor without hesitation and also got a mini fried rice. The noodles were egg noodles and the soup had a blended miso taste that was a bit blurry to me. The fried rice had a slightly fishy smell, but it was covered up by the pickled ginger and soup. While looking around the shop, I noticed a recommendation on the blackboard for Sura-tan noodles, which I think might be made from the same miso base as the ramen I had. Next time, I'll definitely try the Sura-tan noodles. The friendly service from the owner's mother makes me want to come back again.

I visit this shop regularly and always order the same thing: tantanmen! You can choose the level of spiciness, up to 2 times for free. 3 times spiciness costs an extra ¥100. I always go for the 3 times spiciness, although it may vary depending on the day. The sesame tantanmen (3 times spiciness) costs ¥880 plus ¥100 for a small bowl of rice. Apparently, they offer a free small bowl of rice during weekday lunches. First, they bring a small mortar with sesame seeds, which you grind while waiting for the tantanmen. When the tantanmen arrives, you take a bite without adding the sesame. It tastes like a thick and flavorful spicy miso ramen (although there may not be miso in it). It's already delicious at this stage. Then, you mix in the spicy miso in the center for an extra kick. Finally, you add the ground sesame seeds. Ah, this is tantanmen, you think as you are enveloped in the fragrance of sesame. The noodles are thin and curly, not typically used in tantanmen, but they add to the uniqueness of Takedokura's tantanmen. The pork belly chashu is melt-in-your-mouth tender, which complements the dish perfectly. Lastly, you pour the remaining soup over the rice. It's just so delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived right at the opening on Sunday at 11:30 am. I was the first customer, with two more groups arriving later. It had been 3 and a half years since my last visit. The place is run by what seems to be a couple. They have raised their prices by 20-30 yen due to the tax increase. This time, I ordered the "Curry Ramen" (860 yen). It arrived in about 4 minutes. The soup was spicy with a hint of tomato acidity, very delicious! I was expecting a richer taste like "Awase Miso", but it was not that heavy, more refreshing. The thin curly noodles were cooked just right, with a nice firmness. The two slices of chashu were tender and delicious as always! Unfortunately, the flavored egg was hard boiled this time. Overall, I was satisfied with the delicious taste. But I think I prefer the "Awase Miso" flavor. I would rate the food taste this time as 4.0 stars. Next time, I will try the "Sesame Tan Tan Men".

Hello everyone! After a night out at a nearby izakaya, we decided to end the night at "Ramen Takekura," a local ramen shop that has been in business for a long time. We sat at a table and my friend ordered the Assari Miso Ramen for 820 yen, while I got the Curry Ramen for 860 yen, and we shared a bowl of rice for 160 yen. The Curry Ramen had a soup that leaned more towards curry flavor, like as if curry had been diluted with soup. Personally, I prefer curry ramen where spices are added directly to the ramen soup, so this wasn't exactly to my liking. However, the yellow curly noodles were really delicious! They were cooked just right, not too soft and had a nice chewy texture. We tried putting rice into the leftover soup, and it was undeniably curry-flavored. Since we were coming back from an izakaya, we decided not to finish the soup completely. Thanks for the meal!
