I went to Shinfuku Saikan Akihabara branch. It's a bit far from the station, but there's always a line during lunchtime. It was around 1 pm, but I was able to enter without waiting. I ordered a ramen and fried rice set. Most people around me also ordered sets. The appearance and taste had a big gap. The soup was delicious and had a addictive taste, the pork slices were thin, and there were plenty of bean sprouts and green onions on top of the noodles, which matched well. The noodles had a unique texture that I haven't had much before. The fried rice might have been pre-made due to bad timing, but it was still delicious. Thank you for the meal.

About a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station, located on the east side of the Shuto Expressway. It's on a corner but the area has narrow winding streets so it might be a bit hard to find. The shop operates with ticket vending machines. I visited on a Saturday around 6pm and the seats were quite full. I ordered the small size of the Chinese soba. Similar to the one in Hamamatsucho, it was filled with ingredients. The soup definitely goes well with the table pepper. The chashu had a nice thickness and texture. The only downside was that the noodles were a bit sparse, but the amount of ingredients was the same as the regular size. I had a late lunch so I ordered the small size, but I should have gone for the regular size.

Today, while transferring trains, I stopped by Akihabara. It was a day when the heat had subsided, so I decided to visit this place without hesitation. There were 5 customers in line in front of the store, so I joined the line. I looked at the menu at the storefront and struggled to decide which set to choose. Should I go for the regular-small, regular-regular, or another set? When it was my turn, I purchased the regular-regular set for 1,200 yen at the ticket machine. Before even sitting down, my order arrived, and I was served in about 5 minutes. I started with the fried rice, then moved on to the ramen. After the photo, I will sprinkle some black pepper and enjoy. The black appearance is as striking as ever. I ate it in a balanced way and finished it all. It has an addictive quality that makes me crave it occasionally. I haven't been there for a while, but I would like to visit the main store again. I found out the day before that they also have a branch in Hamamatsucho. Thank you for the meal.

I stumbled upon this Chinese ramen place in Kyoto. It's located to the left of Akihabara Central Exit, and the ramen here is delicious! The soy sauce-based ramen is rich in flavor, and the generous portion of fried rice is a great deal for 1200 yen. The customers were quietly enjoying their meal when I visited. I also ordered a beer today.

I spent my student days in Kyoto and had the Chinese soba at Masani. I ordered the regular Chinese soba and fried rice, and the portion was amazing. My stomach and chest were full, so I decided to skip dinner. The taste was stable and delicious, as always. Even though it was Sunday and the office district was quiet, the restaurant was constantly filled with customers. It has a nostalgic and exquisite taste, right?

This is my second visit, and the fried rice is still delicious. If you order the regular set, you can definitely leave with a full stomach. Personally, the ramen is okay but the fried rice is delicious, which is why I keep coming back. It's great that they accept PayPay. Oh, the dumplings were also delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I visited on Saturday afternoon. I ordered a ramen and fried rice set. The ramen came out pretty quickly, but they seemed to have forgotten the fried rice and paper apron, which arrived later. There was no apology for the oversight. The taste was the usual flavor that I sometimes crave.

I visited before 1 pm on a weekday during the Obon holiday. I was able to get a table right when it got full, so there was no wait. The biggest problem was that the air conditioning was not working well, so it was too hot to focus on the meal. The taste was okay. Some say the fried rice is better than the ramen, but personally, I don't really like the fried rice here.

Shinfuku Saikan Akihabara Store Grilled Rice - Large 880 yen The visually striking Kyoto-style fried rice at Shinfuku Saikan is beautifully spherical and jet black in appearance. Unlike other fried rice dishes, this one has a dark, soy sauce-based flavor that is rich and satisfying, with each grain of rice perfectly distinct. The grilled rice comes with a side of soup, which has a strong flavor that complements the fried rice perfectly. The portion size is decent, so even the regular size should be satisfying. Located a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station in Tokyo. #ShinfukuSaikan #ShinfukuSaikanAkihabaraStore #GrilledRice #FriedRice #Akihabara #AkihabaraGourmet #AkihabaraLunch #TokyoGourmet #LunchCrawl #TokyoLunch #ChineseSetMeal #Chinese #Tabelog #Foodstagram #KyotoGourmet

Fried rice is the best at this place! It's addictive and makes you want to come back regularly haha. The dumplings and fried chicken are also delicious. In that sense, it's a good old-fashioned local Chinese restaurant that is easy to like. If it's nearby, it would definitely be a good choice.

I visited the restaurant after several years. The black ramen was surprisingly light and had a sweet soup that was delicious. It had toppings like green onions and about 5 thin slices of chashu. The fried rice, which looked like a solid black mass, was actually fluffy and tasty. It was a feast, thank you.

Visited for the second time last month. It's always busy but not as crowded as having a long line, which is nice. Today, I ordered a half ramen, half fried rice, and some dumplings. I wish they had a half menu set, but unfortunately they don't. I wanted to have some dumplings, so I chose this combination. The dumplings are small but delicious. I wonder what I'll order next time I go.

Arrived at 10:18 PM on Sunday. There were 2 groups of customers already there. I used to frequent this restaurant when I lived in Kyoto and would often ride my bike there. When I returned to Yokohama, I wanted to taste that flavor again, but the restaurant in Kannai had closed a while ago. Feeling nostalgic, I decided to go to Akihabara. The restaurant looked familiar for a moment, but I stayed true to my original plan. I ordered a small ramen and a regular fried rice. The food arrived in about 5 minutes. Even though the ramen was small, it had plenty of bean sprouts and green onions, which somehow made me feel less guilty. The fried rice had a unique black color, but it wasn't overly flavorful and had a delicious hint of lard. The staff, mainly continental women, were very attentive and made the dining experience very pleasant.

I visited during the weekend around lunchtime. I had the fried rice, which I had tried at the main branch in Kyoto and found delicious. The fried rice here was also tasty, with a strong pepper flavor. I would like to visit the main branch again in the future.

A busy restaurant with solo diners. Both dishes were served in 3 minutes, as promised. The ramen wasn't as rich as it looked, with plenty of green onions, bean sprouts, and a generous amount of chashu. Delicious! There was so much chashu that it felt like chashu noodles. The fried rice had a satisfying portion size, maybe even too much. Both dishes were easy to eat and disappeared quickly. I'm interested in trying other menu items, so I'll definitely come back!

I visited the restaurant around 8:30 pm on Saturday. The place was almost full but I was seated quickly. Although the ramen is famous, the yakimeshi fried with black soy sauce is also very popular. I ordered the large portion on this day. It arrived in about 5-6 minutes, with soup that matched the color of the ramen. The dish had a perfect balance of egg (a small amount), green onions, and a little bit of char siu. I love the crispy rice with a strong flavor, and it was just as good as the one I had at the Isezaki store in Yokohama, which unfortunately closed down. This time, I had the yakimeshi on the second floor of the Azabu-Juban store for a private party, and I enjoyed it so much that time flew by. Adding a little grated garlic to the soup enhances the flavor and pairs well with the fried rice, so I recommend trying it when you visit. Thank you for the meal.

□Friday 13:20 arrival, 7 people waiting, entered at 13:30□Note: "Pitch black soup" with a mountain of green onions is the distinctive feature□Ordered: Regular-sized Chinese ramen + small fried rice for 1,100 yen・Soup: A rich soy sauce base with a clear taste of chicken bones, with a refreshing finish・Noodles: Medium thick straight noodles・Chashu: Extremely thin slices with a good chewy texture・Toppings: Lots of Kujo green onions, adds a nice aroma・Fried rice: Spicy with a strong soy sauce flavor

The order was "Chinese soba (regular) + fried rice (small)" and a draft beer. The Chinese soba had a rich soy sauce flavor but was refreshing, with plenty of thinly sliced roast pork and green onions. The noodles were not thin, but rather medium thickness straight noodles. The fried rice was also flavorful with a strong soy sauce taste, and was served in a generous portion, but it was not moist, more on the dry side. Both dishes were delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a popular restaurant in Kyoto with a long line after a long time. Personally, I prefer this place over the other famous one in Kyoto. I ordered a set of ramen and half fried rice. The ramen was delicious with tasty soup, chashu, and noodles. The black fried rice was also amazing with the umami of soy sauce. I want to go back again soon.

Today's heat in the Kanto region was intense. It was dangerously hot, almost to the point of feeling life-threatening. And it's not even after the rainy season yet. This summer is going to be tough. It's important to stay hydrated, but also replenish salt. Today, I decided to go for a hearty meal to boost my stamina. There were a few options, but considering work as well, I settled on Shinpukusenkan for their amazing Chinese noodles. The black soy sauce fried rice also hit the spot. My appetite and salt levels were fully satisfied. I managed to get through the afternoon thanks to that meal. Thank you for the feast. One of a kind.
