In this area, there are places like Manpuku for Chinese noodles and here at Funamizaka, so you won't have any trouble finding delicious ramen to eat. In addition to ramen, there are also many other tasty options available, making this a favorite place of mine. So, this time, I visited Funamizaka and tried their salt ramen. - Shrimp Wonton Noodles (1050 yen) You order using a ticket machine, and you can use electronic money like Pasmo or Suica. Going off on a tangent a bit, while the Jeff Gourmet Card (nationwide meal ticket) is said to be accepted on the website, I wonder how it works now that they have a ticket machine (I haven't confirmed this yet, so I might ask next time). Back to the ramen review. The soup is made from scallops and kelp from Hokkaido, as well as animal-based ingredients, with a salt base that is refreshing yet full of umami, making it very satisfying. They promote it as Hakodate ramen, but personally, I felt that the soup was even more delicious than what you would find in Hakodate! The toppings include naruto, chashu, menma, nori, spinach, and plenty of shrimp wontons. I was amazed by the shrimp wontons. They use sweet shrimp, and the shrimp flavor is very strong, with shrimp oil drizzled on top, making it irresistible for shrimp lovers. The noodles are thin and firm, just the way I like them. You can get a free extra-large portion, but even the regular size is quite filling. This shop has been in Ginza for over 20 years, and in a place where restaurants come and go frequently, the fact that they have remained means their ramen is truly delicious. This is a place I want to visit regularly.

I visited in between work. The salt ramen is light, but has a high salt concentration. The noodles are smooth and easy to eat. The chashu is tender and delicious, and the boiled egg is soft and easy to eat. It's a great point that you get half rice for free when you have it for lunch.

After leaving the office past 9 p.m. on a regular weekday, I planned to grab some Dan Dan noodles at Hashigo, but to my surprise, the shutter was down... It was unexpectedly closed for some reason, leaving me a dinner refugee at this hour. I wandered around the East Ginza area and was tempted by the hand-pulled noodles across the street, but tonight I decided to dine at Hanamizaka, a Hakodate ramen shop. To avoid feeling too heavy at this late hour, I ordered a simple Ajitama Shio Ramen. The restaurant quickly filled up after I entered, confirming its popularity. In about 7 minutes, the usual huge bowl arrived. The ramen looked beautiful with its vibrant green spinach and egg yolk. The slightly chewy noodles paired well with the flavorful clam-like soup. I appreciated the generous amount of toppings. The noodles were filling, even with a regular portion. However, the smooth and flavorful golden soup really warmed my tired body. I had soba for lunch, so I went easy on the soup, but deep down, I wanted to slurp it all up. Satisfied, I made my way home.

On September 17, 2023, during my visit to Tsukiji Ramen shops, I found that there were few options available, so I decided to extend my journey to Ginza. I ordered the ramen with seasoned egg as it had high ratings. The default flavor seemed to be salt. Within 10 minutes, the ramen was served. The soup had a slightly salty taste, with a noticeable presence of seafood broth like clams and kelp. The saltiness was just right, allowing the broth to stand out. The seasoned egg was soft-boiled with a slightly firm yolk. It had flavor but was overall just okay. The chashu had a delicious fatty part with strong umami, but the lean part was a bit dry, which was disappointing. The green onions and spinach were generously included as toppings. The salty taste of the broth may linger in your stomach after drinking it, fitting well with the upscale location of Ginza (even though it was night time). Overall, it was a decent meal. Thank you for the feast~

Miso ramen! Gyoza! I happened to come across this place in Kyobashi around noon for training, so it was my first visit. I read reviews saying that the miso ramen was delicious, but to be honest, it was just average. There was nothing particularly outstanding about it, and it tasted like your typical miso ramen you can find at any other place. Even when slurping the noodles, I couldn't really taste the miso flavor. I love miso ramen, so maybe I'm a bit picky or particular about it (´･ω･`;) It's a matter of personal preference, but I couldn't find any good points at all, it just felt very ordinary and disappointing. This is just my personal opinion, but I can't trust restaurants in Ginza that have relatively high ratings like 3.5 to 3.6 on Tabelog, because I couldn't find anything that I thought was delicious. Maybe the high ratings are because it's located in Ginza, but that's just my speculation. If this place was in Chiba or Saitama, it would probably have a rating of around 3.1 (;ﾟ;ж;ﾟ;)ﾌﾞｯ The gyoza also seemed to be homemade, but they were just average and I didn't find them tasty. Everything was so ordinary that it was disappointing in every aspect. I probably won't visit again.

I went to a ramen shop in Ginza. It was around 3 PM and it was just the right time to stop by as it was not crowded. I ordered the shrimp wonton ramen for about 1,100 yen. It was very delicious. The wontons were great, and the soup had a shrimp flavor that I really liked, I wanted to drink it all up. The firmness of the noodles was just right for my taste. The moist seaweed was also excellent. I want to go there again.

I had some errands in Ginza and was looking for a ramen shop where I could eat quickly. I wanted to eat a refreshing salt ramen, so I came to this shop. The ramen was delicious, but it didn't have any particularly unique features, so I'm not sure why it received such high ratings. I would like to come back and try a different menu item next time.

A ramen shop in Higashi-Ginza. I stopped by on my way back from a location scout. It's still hot in September, so I decided to go with ramen instead of tsukemen. I was tempted by the miso butter, but I opted for the shrimp wonton since I wanted something refreshing. The ramen was delicious and piping hot, but it made me even hotter. In that sense, maybe I should have gone with the tsukemen. However, the miso butter that the person next to me ordered looked really delicious, so I'll have to try it in winter.

It was hot so I had cold noodles. They were a bit sweet for my taste. We also ordered dumplings, which were incredibly delicious. They were so good that I would come back just for the dumplings! The person I was with had warm ramen, which had a tasty broth with a hint of sweetness. The staff at the restaurant were all very kind and I will definitely be going back!

I arrived at the restaurant around 2 pm, with about 5 groups of customers already there. I ordered my usual miso ramen, but today I got the large serving (for free). It arrived in about 5 minutes and looked beautiful. The best part was the piping hot soup. They prepare the miso soup while stir-frying bean sprouts in a frying pan, then pour it over the noodles. It was delicious. The large serving filled me up, making it hard to focus on my afternoon work. I enjoyed my meal today as well. Thank you, I will definitely come back again.

On the way back from Banpaku, I came across a very interesting looking restaurant that I decided to research. It seemed nice, so I came back the next day for lunch. There were two foreigners lined up before the opening. I ordered the shrimp wonton noodles with seasoned egg and ikura bowl. I was also curious about the dumplings, but I prefer shumai over dumplings so I skipped them. I spent nearly 2000 yen, but I found another restaurant that I want to visit again. It's also nice that they are open on Sundays. I had delicious salt ramen after a long time. The chashu is thickly sliced and comes with naruto and bamboo shoots.

Everything looks delicious! I had salt ramen and my companion had miso ramen. Both were tasty, so I'm convinced that this place serves delicious food no matter what you order. It was a bit hot inside during the summer, but the food was great!! The miso ramen was piping hot until the last bite!

Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, 3 minutes walk from Higashi-Ginza Station, near the company. I usually like thin noodles and order the salt ramen with flavored egg, but this time I ordered miso butter corn. I sweated a lot eating miso ramen in the middle of summer. The rich miso and sweet corn flavor was delicious. The curly noodles mixed well with the soup. I enjoyed picking up the corn while eating.

I ordered salt ramen. It's a very orthodox salt ramen, perfect for the summer with its strong salty flavor. The portion is generous, so I was satisfied with just one bowl. I recommend adding pepper for a change in taste.

I visited Hakodate Ramen Funamizaka in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Upon entering the restaurant, I purchased a meal ticket from the machine. There are counter seats and table seats available. I tried the Ajitama Shio Ramen. The soup was light, easy to drink, and deliciously rich. The thin and chewy noodles paired perfectly with the soup. The topping of spinach was a unique touch. Adding pepper from the table made it even more delicious. The seasoned egg was perfectly runny. I enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

[Overall Impression] As a restaurant specializing in Hakodate salt ramen, the ramen here has a refreshing salt-based broth. The wontons had a firm texture with a good bite. The interior of the restaurant had a lively izakaya atmosphere, with the door wide open and a fan blowing. It was quite hot inside, and despite eating salt ramen, I ended up sweating by the time I finished. [Basic Information] Visit Date: August 12, 2023 (Saturday) 20:58 Queue upon arrival: 0 people (80% full inside) Purchasing method: Bought a food ticket upon entering the restaurant. Order/Price: Shrimp wonton ramen + half order of gyoza ¥1,050 + ¥250 [Soup] The broth was a light salt-based soup with a pleasant aroma of shrimp oil. It lacked heaviness and had a refreshing aftertaste. It was easy to slurp down, but it did feel a bit monotonous and I started to get tired of it as I ate. [Noodles] The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles, typical for salt ramen. They had a nice chewy texture and provided a satisfying bite. The portion was generous, which was great. [Ingredients] The shrimp wontons had a quite firm skin, almost sticking together. Personally, I didn't prefer this texture. The chashu was also tough, leaving me with mixed feelings. [Side Menu] The gyoza was crispy and delicious. [Service] I received a paper apron when I asked for it. There were hooks under the counter for bags, but it felt like there was limited space for other belongings. Various services such as Hot Pepper coupons and free upsizing seemed to be available. [Atmosphere] The interior had an izakaya-like atmosphere. It was lively, with customers possibly visiting after drinking. You could see the kitchen clearly from the counter, witnessing the skilled operation of the owner. However, it was uncomfortably hot inside. *Thank you for always reading! I would be happy if you could give it a like and save it (≧∀≦)

I visited Funamizaka in Ginza Higashi. On this day, I arrived with 3 people just before 2 am. There were a few customers already there, so we bought our food tickets and sat at the counter. First, we had a bottle of Sapporo beer (650 yen), which was nicely chilled and delicious. We also had some ikura (330 yen) as a snack before quickly diving into the ramen. I ordered the special salt ramen (1,050 yen). The noodles were quite chewy and the soup had a clear yet flavorful taste. Overall, it was delicious! However, tastes for ramen can vary among individuals, so it's a bit tricky to rate. Thank you for the meal.【Dishes Ordered】- Ikura (330 yen)- Special salt ramen (1,050 yen)【Drinks Ordered】- Bottle of beer (650 yen) x 2 Price: 4 Taste: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Cleanliness: 3 Seating space: 3 Speed of service: 4 Service: 4 Hospitality: 4 Variety of menu: 3 Date-friendly: 3 /5 points full Time spent: 1 hour 00 minutes (3 people) *Price per person: 2,000 yen

I easily finished the ramen and even drank up the soup. The noodles were straight and curly, perfect for the light soup. The broth was clear but had a strong flavor. The salt ramen used thin noodles. The bamboo shoots and spinach on the side were also great. The service was okay, but I feel like the taste has declined compared to before.

After several years, I visited this place again. This time I ordered the large serving of shrimp wonton noodles with extra pork topping. The fact that the large serving is free is much appreciated. The shrimp inside the wontons were firm and delicious. The thick slices of pork provided a satisfying texture. The water wasn't cold and the air conditioning wasn't very effective, so I ended up sweating a lot while eating.

Visited at 11:15 on a weekday, there was a seat available for miso ramen for ¥850 with free upsizing. Toppings included seasoned green onions and hot peppers for free with a coupon. Upon sitting down, I greeted them with "long time no see". Despite having visited over 30 times, this was the first time they initiated a conversation with me. There are a few chefs working there, and they are all a bit reserved but friendly when spoken to. It seems I am the only one who specifies "seasoned green onions" as a topping, as they immediately recognized my order. I really like this way of cutting long onions. There are many popular ramen shops in this area, so I worry about them losing customers. In the intense heat of the day, the two famous shops had lines of about 20 people each. Well done to everyone waiting in line.

To Mr. Funamizaka: It's not common to walk around Ginza at 2 am during the time of COVID, so we took a taxi from the tree-lined street to Higashi-Ginza for a change of pace. We had a reservation for one, but we occupied a table for five. I tried the clam ramen that I had been wanting to eat...the aroma of the broth was irresistible. I couldn't help but drool. The noodles were on the softer side and had no particular flavor, but the saltiness was strong, probably to go well with alcohol. I want to try other ramen dishes and it's rare to find places open late at night, so I will definitely go back!
