A specialty shop in Shinjuku that serves sea bream salt ramen. Located near Akebonobashi Station. The station has some surprisingly good shops, so our expectations were high. The shop is counter-only, where you purchase meal tickets. We ordered one sea bream salt ramen and one tsukemen for two people. The visual presentation of the dishes was like a work of art. And when we tasted them, they were even more impressive. The salt flavor was not too strong, with a nice balance of richness and lightness. The noodles were also perfect. The toppings were carefully prepared and of high quality. Personally, I also highly recommend the boiled dumplings.

I arrived at the restaurant at 3:05 pm on a holiday with no other customers. I purchased a ticket for the Taisho Soba for 910 yen at the ticket machine and sat at the counter seat. It used to be a famous shop, so I'm looking forward to it. The ramen was served in just 4 minutes, and it looked beautiful! I tasted the soup, and it was incredibly delicious! The clear broth had a light taste of sea bream with a rich umami flavor. The addition of yuzu peel enhanced the aroma, making it irresistible! I already decided to drink it all up. The noodles were straight and thin, with a good bite that paired well with the soup. They were shiny and beautiful. The pork had a firm texture and a strong umami flavor. The bamboo shoots were subtly flavored and delicious. The bowl had a wonderful harmony. With a generous amount of noodles, I was able to enjoy a satisfying meal. Even after finishing the soup, the aftertaste was refreshing. I visited at a good time. Two more customers arrived later, but I was able to relax and enjoy my meal. I was surprised by the high quality of the Taisho Soba. Thank you for the meal!

It was a purely authentic Japanese meal. This was my second visit. This time, I ordered the seasonal limited menu item "Cold Sea Bream Salt Soba" for 1080 yen. Despite the long line outside, I was lucky to find only two seats available at the counter when I entered. Within minutes, a refreshing presentation arrived. The emphasis on the deliciousness of the noodles and broth was evident in every bite. The sea bream sashimi, steamed meat, kaiware, chrysanthemum, menma, sesame, grated daikon - each element added a different flavor to enhance the deliciousness of the sea bream broth. Truly a refined taste. Personally, it was my first meal after recovering from an illness, and it was the most satisfying and flawless feast. The quiet farewell from the owner also reflected the heartfelt nature of this restaurant.

I visited a restaurant that I had been curious about, after struggling with the many tempting ramen shops nearby. I ordered a set of ramen and sea bream tea pickles. The interior of the restaurant was clean and calming, which was a relief from the hot weather outside. The ramen arrived first, with beautifully arranged noodles in a clear soup that looked appetizing. The thin noodles easily separated and were enjoyable to eat. The soup was not only light as it appeared, but also had a delightful aroma that made me want to keep sipping. The sea bream in the tea pickles had a firm texture and the sesame sauce was delicious. It was tasty even as sashimi, and when mixed with the soup for the tea pickles, it was satisfying to have various ways to enjoy the meal.

On Sunday, I went to the main branch of "Tairamen Teka Honten" in Arashio-bashi, Yotsuya-sanchome to have a meal before heading to Jingu Stadium for a live event. This area used to be where Fuji TV was located, and I used to pass by there every day, but I stopped going there after Fuji TV moved to Odaiba. "Tairamen Teka" opened in 2015 in that same area, and in 2019, it was selected as one of the top 100 ramen shops in Tokyo. When I visited around 4:30 pm on Sunday, there was only one other customer. I ordered the Tairamen with a side of Tairacha-zuke (pickled tea-flavored sea bream) and a lemon sour. The Tairamen had a clean and tasty broth with a subtle sea bream flavor. The noodles were straight and thin, complementing the broth well. The toppings included green onions, bamboo shoots, rare chashu, wheat gluten, and yuzu peel, which didn't overpower the broth. After finishing the noodles, I enjoyed the Tairacha-zuke, which was a delightful combination of rice topped with sesame-marinated sea bream, crunchy rice crackers, and the remaining broth from the Tairamen. It was a delicious meal, and I look forward to visiting their other branches in the future.

This is my first visit. I ordered the Ayu Salt Ramen with a flavored egg. I arrived at 3 pm, so there were no other customers and the ramen came out quickly. The soup was clear as expected, light but with a nice flavor from the ayu. It was very delicious.

The golden shining soup is said to be made with carefully selected Uwajima-produced red snapper broth, finished luxuriously. The noodles are made with Shinshu-produced wheat, providing a firm yet supple thin noodle. The toppings include tender roasted pork, refreshing green onions, crunchy bamboo shoots, and colorful plum gluten. However, despite the claim that you can only taste the luxurious flavor and richness of Uwajima-produced red snapper at this restaurant, the staff is mostly foreigners. Honestly, I think it's a bit different.

I dropped in for dinner and ordered a set of tsukemen and ochazuke. The light and tasty salt ramen was delicious, and creating tai-chazuke by pouring the soup over rice was a unique experience. The ochazuke was also very tasty, and I was completely satisfied with the meal.

I visited the popular ramen shop Taio Shio Soba Toka Honten near Yotsuya and Akebonobashi. I have been to the Yotsuya branch before, but this was my first time at the main store. I ordered the sea bream salt ramen with an egg topping, and the soup was clear and light, yet delicious. They also accept PayPay.

It's been a while since I tried a new ramen place. I finally visited Hotaru, a place I've been curious about for a while, to try their refreshing sea bream salt ramen. I arrived around 3 PM, a bit later than usual for lunch, so there were no other customers at the time. I sat at the seat furthest back at the counter. This sea bream salt ramen was perfect for a solo dining experience like in the manga "The Solitary Gourmet." The broth was light and I ended up finishing it all in no time. The flavor of the sea bream was also strong and very delicious. Next time, I'll try the special version of the ramen.

The sea bream ramen has a strong sea bream broth. The restaurant is small, with a stylish and quiet atmosphere where you can enjoy your ramen. I ordered tsukemen and ochazuke. Ochazuke is where you pour the leftover dipping sauce over sea bream rice, add toppings, and eat. It's better to order ochazuke instead of getting extra noodles.

【Order】Sea Bream Salt Ramen 910 yen 【Review】I don't usually eat salt ramen, but on this day it was over 37°C. I wanted something refreshing, so I visited here. With only around 500kcal per bowl, it's quite healthy. Sea bream-based ramen often has a strong sea bream aroma, but this one has a subtle elegance and a good balance with the saltiness. The medium-thin straight noodles pair well with it, and when slurped with yuzu, you can enjoy the fragrance that lingers in your nose. It's light, but has a solid richness and umami, so light doesn't mean thin. My personal favorite was the chashu. Some people may not like its meaty taste, but it added a nice touch to the light salt ramen.

During the year, I tend to eat more miso ramen in the cold winter and salt ramen in the hot summer. However, there are times when I crave a gentle and soothing soup for my tired stomach, especially after consuming too many cold drinks. A good choice for this is a soup made with red snapper broth. Although there are several places that serve delicious red snapper broth, this time I decided to visit "Tomika" which I had never been to before, and specifically the main branch. I visited on a weekday in late July, a few minutes past 11 o'clock. There were no other customers when I arrived, so I sat at the short side of the L-shaped counter. Within 10 minutes, the place was fully occupied except for the corner seats. There is a ticket vending machine on the left as you enter, which I initially missed. I ordered the "Red Snapper Salt Ramen with Red Snapper Tea-Soaked Rice" (1330 yen) with a soft-boiled egg (130 yen) on the side. I was curious to try the red snapper tea-soaked rice as well. The interior of the restaurant is clean and has a sophisticated feel to it. The wooden counter tables and chairs with backrests create a comforting atmosphere. The lone staff member at the restaurant was also very pleasant. The ramen arrived in about 7 minutes. The noodles were neatly folded with slices of chashu and maple-shaped wheat gluten on top. Along the edge of the bowl, there were shreds of shinachiku arranged neatly. The presentation was beautiful and charming. The soup had a refined taste of red snapper, with a well-balanced combination of a rounded salt sauce and red snapper broth. When scooped with the lotus root, the soup looked clear and pure. It felt like a soup that is gentle on the body, without any impurities. The noodles were straight and thin, with a smooth and soft texture, but not overly soft. I ordered them firm, and there was a female customer who ordered them even firmer, but I personally found the default firmness to be a perfect match with the soup. The shinachiku, chashu, and egg were all delicious as well. The tea-soaked rice at the end was also delightful, with the red snapper slices marinated in a tasty miso sauce, sesame, and red snapper broth, creating a depth of flavor with a refreshing taste. Regardless of the season, this is one of the salt ramen dishes that I would want to eat. Thank you for the meal.

❥Visited on a Sunday around 12pm❥Ordered the Sea Bream Salt Ramen and Sea Bream Tea-Soaked Rice Set. First of all, the presentation was beautiful! The soup was gentle and light, yet you could still taste the richness of the sea bream in the well-flavored broth. It was elegant and easy to slurp down. I also tried the Sea Bream Tea-Soaked Rice, but to be honest, I realized it was too heavy for me to handle (laughs). I found that enjoying just the Sea Bream Salt Ramen on its own was more satisfying for me! The restaurant has only counter seating, but it seems to have a quick turnover. It's located around halfway between Akebonobashi and Yotsuya-Sanchome, which might make it a bit hard to find as it's on a slope, but that's exactly what makes it a hidden gem.

After eating at the first place, I felt like having ramen and found this shop. It was close to closing time, so the most popular sea bream tea-soaked rice set was sold out, so I ordered sea bream salt ramen with a boiled egg. The shop seemed to be run by one person, making each bowl of ramen one by one. However, the service was efficient, so I didn't mind the wait at all. The ramen was very clean and had thin straight noodles, which I like. The yuzu flavor was also nice. I could easily drink up the soup, but managed to restrain myself after finishing about a third of it. It only has about 500 calories even if you drink it all. I definitely want to try the one with sea bream tea-soaked rice next time! It was a ramen shop that made me think that.

I received a half set of sea bream salt ramen and sea bream tea pickles. The cute flower-shaped wheat gluten on top is more like roast pork than chashu, with a light peach color. I don't usually eat ramen, but I really like this one! The clear soup and thin noodles are beautiful (although I struggled a bit with the noodles sticking together while eating). The sea bream tea pickles have a sweet sesame sauce that I previously enjoyed in western Japan! (I first tried the sea bream with sesame sauce) The staff told me to pour the soup over it before eating, and it was delicious. There are still partitions (like Ichiran style?) and I had trouble figuring out how to pay with PayPay at the ticket machine, so I ended up using cash. As someone not used to eating ramen, it was fun even before sitting down. I'd like to try their katsudon, tsukemen, and cold noodles too.

This is a restaurant that serves sea bream dashi ramen. I found it on Tabelog and decided to visit. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there were two customers waiting outside. It's a small restaurant with about 7 counter seats, but the turnover is fast so we were able to get inside in less than 5 minutes. It was so hot outside, so I had the cold sea bream dashi ramen! The cold broth was refreshing and delicious, and it really helped to cool down! Next time, I want to come back to try the regular hot ramen!

Surprisingly, the menma topping shined the most. It has a good texture, packed with flavor, and you get plenty of it because it's long. There's no unpleasant smell. Delicious. The clear soup and chewy noodles are of course delicious too. It's also nice that they're open late at night.

I was interested in a ramen restaurant near my workplace. According to my research, it seemed to be a popular and crowded place, so I decided to visit early. It was the right decision! The interior of the restaurant only had counter seats. Although they had cold ramen on the menu during this season, I ended up ordering the standard sea bream salt ramen. I also wanted to try the dipping noodles. I will definitely try all the menu items! The soup was based on salt?! It had a nice aroma and flavor of sea bream, giving it an elegant taste. The soup was clear and the presentation was like a work of art. By the time I finished eating, there was already a line forming. I will definitely be back for more! ♡♡

The area around Yotsuya is a fierce battleground for ramen. However, there seems to be less soy sauce-based ramen and more tonkotsu or shio ramen. My son and I decided to try a new place again. The soup here was surprisingly clear. It had a clean taste that I would describe as refreshing. The soup was very gentle yet had a strong flavor. The perfect balance with the noodles. On a hot day, my body was craving salt, and this hit the spot! I've been avoiding the heaviness of tonkotsu and kotteri ramen lately... I found a really good restaurant!

I visited the restaurant around 5 pm on my way home in the evening feeling a bit hungry. There were no other customers inside, so I took my time choosing the menu from the ticket machine and ordered the sea bream salt ramen. After waiting for about 5-6 minutes, the ramen was served with toppings neatly arranged. The aroma of grilled sea bream came from the bowl. The noodles were well cooked and looked beautiful. The taste was light and easy to eat. It was nice to have fried gluten as a topping for a change.
