I entered the restaurant around 1:00 on a regular day without having to wait in line. I ordered soy sauce ramen with a seasoned boiled egg topping for 1,050 yen. It seems to be affiliated with TETSU. I could taste the flavor of dried sardines in the soup, but it wasn't overpowering. It lacked a strong flavor or richness, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. The noodles were similar to the egg noodles often found in Sapporo, which I enjoyed. They were curly noodles that clung well to the soup. However, the soup itself lacked a punch. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it left me feeling a bit underwhelmed as I left the restaurant.

At Oyogiya, I was so hungry and spaced out that I ended up ordering the extra-large size without realizing it. I thought I had a big appetite, but when the noodles arrived, I was shocked. It was apparently 400g! And it was the same price as the regular size!! Amazing!! The taste was also incredibly delicious, but next time I'll go for the large size. Lesson learned.

I ate ramen and fried rice set, both were delicious. The ramen had medium thick noodles with a tasty soup made from dried bonito, which paired well. The fried rice was fluffy and delicious. I arrived around 6pm, so it was a bit early. It was raining, so the restaurant was not crowded.

I had the Ume Kaoru Tsukemen (without Ume) in large size at Kimihan main store near Uguisudani Station. They have all-day opening hours, making it great for late lunch or early dinner. The dipping soup has a flavorful dashi base with fish powder, giving it a slightly sweet taste. I personally like a bit more soup to dip the noodles in. The thick, smooth straight noodles pair well with the soup and have a good texture. The toppings include generous slices of seared chashu, menma, naruto, green onions, and minced meat. It's a dish I occasionally crave, especially when it's hot. I enjoyed it today as well.

I was lured in by the photos in the advertisement. Team 102 seems to be deteriorating year by year. My impression is that it's disappointing. There is no punch as much as it looks, and there is nothing outstanding. I have tried the limited edition items here several times, but they are all mediocre. I still prefer the reliable tsukemen and fried rice.

I arrived at the restaurant at 11am on a weekday and there was no wait. I ordered the special soy sauce ramen for 1250 yen at the counter. It arrived in about 5 minutes and the broth was rich and flavorful, with a good balance between rich and light flavors. The soup had a strong taste of dried sardines and bonito, which was delicious. It also had a refreshing hint of yuzu, leaving a clean aftertaste. The toppings included plenty of tender and tasty chashu, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, and wontons, providing a satisfying amount of toppings. The noodles were smooth and had a good texture. Overall, it was a delicious bowl of ramen with a well-balanced combination of soup, noodles, and toppings. Thank you for the meal.

At 12 o'clock, I came to Uguisudani to have lunch at Den-san and Kimihan-san, but both places were surprisingly not crowded. Lucky me! I decided to go to Kimihan-san, which is my favorite tsukemen restaurant. There was one empty seat at the counter, so I immediately went in. I ordered the special tsukemen large size for 1330 yen from the vending machine. It only took about 5 minutes for the food to arrive. The noodles had a hint of plum flavor and were delicious even on their own. The soup made from dried sardines was also tasty. The dish came with 2 wontons, 2 slices of chashu, and a half-boiled egg, so I was worried if I could finish it all. However, it was so delicious that I quickly finished everything and left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

Special plum-flavored dipping noodles special size for 1,330 yen. I chose the special size because it was free, but as always, I regretted it. It was way too much. The taste is not too strong, so even if you're not a fan of plums, you might still enjoy it. The dipping sauce is based on dried sardines. The dipping sauce was extremely hot, so I had a rare experience of the egg in it being very hot. With a wide variety of menu options, you might find a ramen that suits your taste!

I had the Ume Kaoru Tsukemen (without plum) in extra large size at Kimihan Main Store near Uguisudani Station. The store has all-day opening hours, making it perfect for late lunch or early dinner. The dipping soup is made with bonito broth and fish powder, giving it a delicious and slightly sweet flavor. They always give a bit more dipping soup, which I personally find just right. The thick and smooth straight noodles pair well with the soup and have a good texture. You can choose from regular, extra large, or super large portions for the same price. The toppings include large pieces of grilled chashu, menma, naruto, green onions, and minced meat. This dish is perfect for when you crave something comforting during hot weather. I thoroughly enjoyed it today as well.

Edomae niboshi ramen Kimihan main store @ Uguisudani Special dipping noodles Dipping large [¥1330] ■ Visit date July 18, 2023, Tuesday 19:41- ■ Nearest station JR Yamanote Line Uguisudani Station ■ Business hours 11:00-23:00 ■ Regular holiday Closed This time, I visited the main store of Kimihan. I used to occasionally visit when it was under the guard in Gotanda, as they also had morning ramen back then, but this is my first visit to the main store. It is well known that TETSU's Komiyama, who created that dipping noodles, founded it, and now the management has been taken over by another company. When you leave the north exit of Nishinippori and turn right, head towards the hotel district along the railway tracks, turn left at the end, and then turn right after reaching the main street. Turn left at the first corner and you will find it on your left after a short walk. It's about a 7-8 minute walk from the station! I always prefer to visit the main store when there are multiple locations of a restaurant. I arrived at 19:41 and there was no line, so I went straight in. Inside the store, there is a ticket machine on the right and counter seats at the back. This time, I ordered the large size of the dipping noodles. It's a simple dipping noodles, but the noodles have a faint plum scent and were very delicious. The refreshing plum scent goes really well with the fish broth. * This is just my personal impression. # Edomae niboshi ramen # Kimihan # main store # dipping noodles # Uguisudani gourmet # Uguisudani ramen # ramen # ramen # ramenstagram # ramen tour # want to connect with people who love ramen

I couldn't get into the neighboring coffee shop Den because it was full, so I came here instead. I ordered the basic soy sauce ramen. When I took a bite, it tasted like a truly basic Chinese ramen, but with a distinct seafood flavor. The white pepper went really well with the soup. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

After coming back from the sauna, I decided to try Kimihan's ramen that I had been eyeing. I thought maybe their tsukemen is more famous, but since it's not too hot today, I chose the salt-based ramen instead. It was a weekday night, so the place was moderately busy with enough space at the counter for each person. Soon enough, my bowl arrived. Wow, the soup was really dark in color. And the taste... so salty! Is this the soup for the tsukemen instead? Unfortunately, I couldn't finish most of it. The curly noodles were delicious though.

Edomae niboshi ramen (soy sauce) for 1,050 yen. The fried rice is also popular, but I'm not that hungry so I'll pass. It's from the TETSU group, so it has a TETSU-like niboshi flavor, but it's much lighter with fewer niboshi. The soup is not thick and has a light texture. The noodles are not really to my liking - they are slightly thin, soft, and curly. They seem to be dry noodles, so the texture may feel a bit cheap. I arrived on a weekday at 12:54 and there were 5 people waiting inside. The ramen was served at 13:01.

The restaurant was supposed to be open until 23:00, so I visited around 22:00. The ticket machine was confusing, as others have mentioned, but "just look at the picture on top first." I ordered the special soy sauce ramen and half fried rice, totaling 1,740 yen, which some may find expensive. The food arrived in less than 5 minutes. I'm not a fan of strong bonito flavor in ramen, but the soup reminded me of Taketora bonito ramen and I liked it! The curly noodles were great with the soup. I finished the soup to the last drop. The half fried rice was disappointing as it was too oily. Although the restaurant was supposed to be open until 23:00, they told a customer who arrived at 22:10 that they were closing, so it's better to be careful with the opening hours. Recommended for: - Those who like bonito flavor that is not too overpowering - Those who like curly noodles - Those who don't mind the price.

After several years, I visited this place again. The ticket machine was more confusing than before, and my wife and I spent a few minutes trying to figure out which button to press. Finally, we realized that we should look for the button in the area that matches the number on the menu photo above the ticket machine. I ordered the standard "Ume-scented Niboshi Tsukemen (special) ¥900" and my wife ordered the limited "Rich Chicken Tsukemen (regular) ¥980". Phew~ We sat at the counter, which still had many empty seats, but it quickly filled up with customers coming in one after another. The bowls arrived at 11:38. The medium-thin noodles with Ume sauce were delicious on their own. When dipped about halfway into the Niboshi broth, it created a perfect balance. This Ume-flavored noodles is such a great idea... dipping a little gives a refreshing acidity, while dipping a lot allows you to enjoy the rich Niboshi soup. It's fun to change the taste with each bite, especially in the upcoming hot season, being able to eat it all without getting tired of the flavor is great. I unintentionally ordered the extra-large portion because all noodle sizes are the same price, but I managed to finish it smoothly. The soup split was also delicious. There is a reason why this long-standing restaurant has continued to thrive. They are making an effort. Thank you for the meal. (There were waiting customers inside and outside the restaurant on the way back.)

Discovered this place near my workplace through a search on Tabelog. I love fish broth ramen, so I ordered the special extra large portion. First, I tried the soup - delicious. Then I tasted the noodles, they were really good! Firm and just the way I like them. Maybe a bit more chashu and wonton would be perfect!

I wanted to eat dried fish-based ramen and visited the restaurant at 2pm on a holiday. It's located a short walk from Iriya Station towards Uguisudani Station, and easy to find. There were 8 counter seats and a wait of about 10 minutes for 4 people, so I bought a meal ticket and waited. The staff were attentive to the line outside, which was very nice. The signature menu seems to be tsukemen, but I chose soy sauce ramen. The toppings were classic (naruto was nostalgic). The soup had a good balance of dried fish and soy sauce flavors, with no bitterness in the aftertaste, so even those who don't like strong flavors could enjoy it. The noodles were firm and curly, an unusual combination, but they matched well with the soup. They serve the soup and bowl piping hot, which is a nice touch. However, the size of the ladle didn't match the diameter of the bowl, making it difficult to scoop up about 1/3 of the soup, which was a shame. It was delicious, but it might not be very addictive. In Iriya, there is also a noodle restaurant called "Haru," so I will challenge myself to try Haru next time.

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, but the seaweed was small and the taste was not to my liking. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't delicious either. I don't think I will go back again. Maybe it would be better to try their tsukemen instead.

While walking in Uguisudani, I came across a sign for "Edomae Niboshi Chuka Soba" at a restaurant called "Kimihan Main Store." I decided to try their famous niboshi soup, which comes in both soy sauce and salt flavors. As a soy sauce fan, I went for the soy sauce version. They also had a dish called "Ume-scented Niboshi Tsukemen" that caught my eye, but since it was my first visit, I opted for the classic Chuka Soba. I purchased a ticket for the "Special Soy Sauce Chuka Soba for 1,230 yen" from the ticket vending machine. Although they offered a set with half-fried rice, I decided to skip it this time, following the "rule of the top left corner of the ticket vending machine"! (laughs) The menu described the "Edomae Niboshi" soup as made with "a rich broth simmered with katsuobushi, muroaji, and saba flakes combined with niboshi, shiitake mushrooms, and kombu." I wonder how many different types of "flakes" they used in this soup! I also wondered if the "Edomae" in the name meant that they used niboshi caught in the Edomae area. Upon researching, I found out that "Kimihan" is part of the same group as "Tsukemen TETSU," under the company "Create Restaurants Holdings." The soy sauce soup had a slight cloudiness to it, but was rich with the flavor of niboshi. It had a deep and delicious taste. The noodles were glossy and chewy, with a good bounce to them. They were slightly curly. Since it was the "special" version, it came with plenty of toppings, including 5 slices of chashu, 3 sheets of nori, shrimp wontons, a seasoned egg, and other luxurious toppings. It was delicious. A high-quality niboshi Chuka Soba that truly lived up to expectations, thanks to the expertise of the "Tsukemen TETSU" group!

Special Chinese-style soy sauce ramen: Located in a mysterious entertainment district near Ooigaya Station, this ramen shop is tucked away towards the east side. Despite the quiet surroundings, the area still exudes a unique and eerie atmosphere. The special Chinese-style soy sauce ramen is a bowl of broth that is surprisingly rich in umami flavor from the bonito. The soy sauce broth is well-balanced with depth and richness from the animal-based soup. The finely chopped yuzu adds a refreshing touch, enhancing the nostalgic taste reminiscent of old-school Heisei era ramen shops. The noodles, reminiscent of Sapporo ramen, are firm and curly. Despite the unexpected combination, everything comes together deliciously. The slightly smoky rare chashu, sweet and vibrant menma, and shrimp paste-filled wontons all add a lively and memorable touch to the bowl. Overall, it was a reliably delicious and vibrant bowl of ramen.
