Shiotsukushi @ Ebisu (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) Special Salt Ramen ¥1,050 + Large Serving ¥110 Score 4.4/5 ★★★★☆ Overall Impression: I was truly impressed by this salt ramen!! Noodles: Thin noodles with the option to choose firmness – I chose firm. They are quite yellow, resembling egg noodles. Soup: This salt ramen has an old-fashioned style, similar to a wakame seaweed soup. It doesn't have a strong bonito flavor, maybe it's made with kombu? The soup is smooth yet has a strong saltiness to it. As you can see in the photo, it has a good amount of oil, which helps it stay warm and cling well to the noodles. Toppings: The chashu is a block with a cut in the middle, slightly sweet with a hint of saltiness, similar to the pork in fried rice. It has a moderate amount of fat, but it's not dry due to the oil in the soup, making it delicious! The wonton has small shrimp inside. It's decent on its own, but the skin is tasty. It's more about savoring the combination of the skin and soup. The flavored egg is also great, with a strong saltiness. I would add 2-3 more and eat them with rice and seaweed, that's how well-seasoned they are! Other Notes: Around 0:30 on a holiday (Golden Week), there was no line outside, but the restaurant was quite busy inside. There was a slight wait behind me. Except on Sundays, they are open until 4:00 in the morning. In my experience, ramen shops open late at night are usually not as tasty, but among those open at the same time, I think this one was the most delicious. #Shiotsukushi #EbisuRamen #EbisuGourmet

I visited this restaurant after a drinking party as they are open late. They have a terrace, so it was really nice to enjoy ramen in the cool evening. I ordered miso ramen, but my friend's salt ramen had a stronger umami flavor. I want to go back next time to try the salt ramen.

The refreshing salt ramen was delicious. The chashu was tender and the naruto was cute. The interior of the restaurant was clean and stylish. It was a bit difficult to sit with large bags, but there were hooks on the chairs to hang them, which made it convenient. The prices were also reasonable. I ordered the cheapest option, the 770 yen ramen.

I visited the restaurant around 11:45 on a regular day. There were 3 seats available when I arrived, but it was full when I left. I ordered my usual salt ramen. It was served in about 5 minutes. The delicious ramen had thin noodles that I could feel the kelp broth in. You can choose the firmness of the noodles when ordering, and I always choose firm. The soup coats the thin noodles well, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavor. I think it's a delicious salt ramen that you don't often see in Ebisu. Sometimes, the aroma of garlic and minced meat being sautéed by those who order miso drifts through the restaurant, and I would like to try miso ramen someday. Thank you for the meal.

After standing and drinking, we decided to have ramen as a finishing touch, at the request of my colleague. We walked quite a bit to get here... It was late at night, so the restaurant was empty. I ordered the spicy miso ramen (970 yen) from the ticket machine. I asked for the noodles to be firm. It only took about 5 minutes for the ramen to arrive. It came with seaweed, white onions, chashu pork, bamboo shoots, and a lot of bean sprouts. The noodles were curly and thin. However, the soup was not as flavorful as it looked. It wasn't spicy at all (maybe it's just my tolerance), and I realized there was quite a bit of garlic in it by default. It felt like they were trying to cover up something with the garlic. The place is open late, so it could be a good spot to finish the night, but unfortunately, I wasn't satisfied with the taste. It was just one of those days where luck wasn't on my side.

I was drawn to the salt ramen and decided to visit the restaurant! The interior was set up in a style where you purchase a meal ticket and then specify the firmness of the noodles you prefer. I found the soup to be gentle and easy to drink quickly. However, when I tasted the noodles and soup together, I felt that a slightly stronger flavor would be more to my liking (personally). I added an egg as a topping, but it was not a soft-boiled egg. They also had a summer limited cold noodle dish available! I am thinking of trying the miso ramen next time!

Based on a friend's recommendation, I came here for lunch. I drove here, but it's better to take the train as the parking is expensive. I ordered the classic salt ramen. Unlike the unpleasant saltiness of other salt ramen, this one had a good balance between the noodles and soup, making it delicious.

First visit, went to a Hakodate salt ramen shop in Ebisu, but the main shops I wanted to try were either on summer vacation or had long lines. I decided to have Hakodate salt ramen after a long time, so I arrived just before 7 pm. There were a few people at the counter, but I didn't have to wait in line. I ordered a regular salt ramen with an egg, without upgrading to the special version. The menu on the ticket machine had pictures, which made it easy to imagine the dish. I also ordered 3 gyoza instead of the usual 6, which cost 1,160 yen in total. The Hakodate salt ramen was delicious, although it didn't quite hit the spot for me personally. The gyoza was surprisingly big, juicy, and had a chewy skin. Despite being short-staffed, the service was efficient and left a good impression.

Today's Poteranchi → [First] A soup where the taste of salt is directly conveyed, with a rich variety of ingredients and the ability to enjoy three levels of flavor change, making it a recommended point. There is a possibility of repeat visits. The shop is located a little far from Ebisu Station, and due to various circumstances, I often passed by the shop on the street in front and had been curious about this Hakodate salt ramen shop. Although they also have miso ramen, as it was my first time, I ordered the salt ramen in the special version. I thought about ordering the mini bowl as well, but my stomach wasn't feeling great, so I opted for the homemade gyoza with 3 pieces. When I handed the food ticket to the staff, they asked me about the firmness of the noodles. Since it was my first time, I chose normal firmness. The soup had a direct taste of salt, not overly salty, but with a distinct saltiness. The noodles were thin with a firm texture and were on the harder side. I wonder how hard they would have been if I had ordered them firm. The ingredients included menma, spinach, and seaweed, with a rich variety. There were two types of green onions, white and finely chopped, included. The wonton had a chewy texture, not mochi-like, with shrimp inside, which was delicious. Even without chashu and seasoned egg, it was plentiful enough. About halfway through, I added pepper for flavor change, and the combination was so perfect that it felt like it could have been included by default. I also tried adding garlic, which added a punch similar to a tonkotsu ramen, allowing me to enjoy various flavors, which was nice. Personally, pepper alone was the strongest. I almost forgot, but the gyoza was pleasantly ordinary and delicious. The balance of the thickness and texture of the skin was good, and the amount of filling inside was just right. When I added vinegar, it poured out too quickly from the container, making the vinegar a bit too strong, so be careful when adding it.

Hakodate Ramen Shionuki is located about a 10-minute walk from Ebisu Station. It can be quite a distance, especially on hot days. However, as a native of Hakodate, I wanted to check it out. I didn't know there was Hakodate Ramen in Ebisu. In Tokyo, there is also Goryokaku in Ogikubo, but it didn't feel very nostalgic. So, I walked and sweated my way there. The restaurant opens at 10:30, and I arrived at 10:45. The store has a new, elongated design with only one customer inside. There are only 12 seats at the long counter. To the right inside is a food ticket machine. The basic options are salt and miso ramen. They also have tsukemen, asari (clam), and spicy miso. I went with the salt ramen, which costs ¥1050 for the special salt ramen and 3 gyoza for ¥260, totaling ¥1310. It's rare to find gyoza at individual restaurants these days, so I added that too. You can choose the firmness of the noodles, so I ordered them firm, although they are usually soft. It took 4 minutes for the ramen to arrive. The soup was a beautiful golden color with chashu, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, spinach, naruto, green onions, seaweed, and shrimp wonton. Oh, there's no wheat gluten. Personally, I think wheat gluten is important for Hakodate salt ramen, so I was a bit disappointed. But with the contents of this special set, it's a good value for almost ¥1000. The noodles were straight, medium-thin, yellow egg noodles typical of Hakodate. They had a smooth and pleasant texture. The soup had a refined flavor of chicken broth and kelp. It was a nostalgic taste. The ingredients were tasty, but nothing extraordinary. The shrimp wonton was a bit powdery. There was a decent amount of noodles. The gyoza was delicious, but average. It was large but had a small amount of filling. The soup was delicious and nostalgic, and since it wasn't crowded, I could eat slowly. However, it's a bit inconvenient to access.

I had the special salt ramen. The toppings were luxurious as you can see, and I was surprised! I especially liked the sweet chashu. Even though it was salt ramen, the rich soup made it satisfying. The straight thin noodles were chewy and delicious! I visited around 8pm. Google Maps said they closed at 7pm, so I was worried, but they were open. I drove to Ebisu, but there doesn't seem to be a parking lot. (Ebisu's parking fees are too high! lol)

Arrived at 10:55 on Saturday. No customers waiting or in front of me, maybe the first customer of the day? Ordered Asari ramen for 920 yen and an ajitama (flavored egg) for 100 yen at the ticket machine. As soon as I entered, they started warming up the bowl and cooking the noodles after I told them how firm I wanted them. The coordination between the two staff members was super smooth. Thanks to that, my order arrived in about 3 minutes. Fast! Took a sip of the soup. Delicious! As a fan of salt ramen, this ranks pretty high for me. The Asari broth is light yet rich in chicken flavor. The noodles are also typical of Hokkaido ramen, with a strong noodle taste. The ajitama was perfectly firm. It doesn't change the flavor of the soup, which is just right. The white negi (green onions) added a nice flavor when eaten with the soup. There was yuzu kosho (citrus chili paste) on the table, but I didn't need it this time as the dish was already perfect. It was so delicious! I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived a little before noon on a regular day and hurried to enter, so I finished my meal quickly, but it was delicious♡ I want to take my time to savor it, and even the regular ramen looks very tasty!! Many people were ordering the tsukemen, which caught my attention!! The staff had a gentle demeanor, making the atmosphere comfortable.

I visited Shionuki, a Hakodate ramen restaurant in Ebisu, Tokyo. They have counter seats and outdoor table seating. I purchased a meal ticket and chose the firmness of the noodles when handing it over. This time, I had miso ramen with a seasoned egg topping. The noodles were thin and yellow, with a good firmness that paired well with the soup. The soup was rich and delicious, especially when you add garlic from the condiments on the table. The restaurant stays open late, making it a great option for a late-night snack. I enjoyed my meal. Thank you.

I visited this place late at night on a weekday. It was almost full, but I managed to find a seat without waiting. I ordered the miso ramen (870 yen) and it arrived in about 10 minutes. I had tried their salt ramen before and it was delicious, but this time I decided to try something different. In conclusion, I think the gentle flavor of the salt ramen was much better. However, the miso ramen was also of high quality. The vegetables, chashu, and soup were all cooked carefully in a hot wok, which gave the flavors a nice balance. The yellow curly noodles had a good texture and paired well with the soup. It was a delicious meal. Thank you.

Salt ramen, Asari clam ramen, and miso ramen are all Sapporo-style ramen. The salt ramen is light and easy to eat, but adding Asari clams increases the clam flavor. The miso ramen has a rich flavor with a slightly thick soup. It's perfect for those who want a hearty meal. The gyoza are large and a good deal. They stay open late, so it's convenient for incorporating into a drinking party.

Today, I worked a little overtime and wanted to eat something delicious, so I decided to go to "Shionuki" in the light rain. I entered at 22:25 and there were 2 customers already there, with 5 more coming in after me. I left at 22:50. Since I had previously tried the "Hiyashi Chuka (soy sauce)" dish, this time I ordered the "Hiyashi Chuka (sesame flavor)" for 900 yen, along with the "Homemade Gyoza (3 pieces)" for 260 yen and a medium bottle of Ebisu beer for 600 yen from the ticket machine. I started with the gyoza and beer. The gyoza had a good amount of filling and might even be tastier than at a gyoza specialty shop, plus it was only 260 yen. The main dish, the "Hiyashi Chuka," arrived. It consisted of sesame sauce noodles topped with thinly sliced ​​chashu, tomato, shredded egg, seaweed, bean sprouts, and cucumber. I found the sweet sesame sauce and soft noodles to be a bit lacking. Personally, I would recommend the soy sauce flavor. The total bill was 1760 yen. Thank you for the meal.

June 21, 2023 (Wednesday) Work in Ebisu on this day. Lunch. I visited "Shio Nuki" around 10:55. No previous customers. I have been here twice before. The name of the restaurant includes "shio" (salt), so I had ordered the salt ramen both times, but there is always someone who orders miso ramen when I am there. Of course, they must order it because it's on the menu, but it must be delicious for them to keep ordering it when I'm there (laughs). This time, I ordered the "Spicy Miso Ramen (970 yen)" with firm noodles. The ramen arrived around 11:10. The toppings included green onions, bean sprouts, onions, wakame seaweed, and a slice of chashu pork. The soup was different from Sapporo miso ramen. Well, I ordered the spicy miso, so it was slightly salty and spicy. I immediately thought, "Ah, maybe I should have ordered the salt ramen (-｡-;)" even though I rarely order spicy miso ramen (oh dear). The spiciness gradually kicked in. The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles, and since I asked for them firm, they were cooked to my liking. The toppings were mainly vegetables. The chashu pork was just one slice. It felt like I was eating a lot of crunchy vegetables. Let's add some garlic. It's my usual ritual. I added a little extra because it was a bit spicy. Oh? Hey? Thanks to the garlic, the taste dramatically improved! In my personal opinion, what was missing in this soup was garlic! I became addicted to it (laughs). I ended up drinking quite a bit of the soup even after finishing the noodles! If anyone orders this ramen and feels unsure, please try adding garlic! Oh, but still, it's best to start with the salt ramen here! (^O^) Ending music. This time it was "Shio Nuki". "Shio Nuki" → "Nuki" → "Kan" → "Cannibal"… CANNIBAL CORPSE!! Cannibal Corpse - Summoned for Sacrifice (OFFICIAL VIDEO) https://youtu.be/Sh20dk87S4E Thank you for the meal♪

I usually prefer soy sauce-based ramen, but I wanted to try salt ramen so I came here. I ordered the special salt ramen for 1050 yen. It came with seasoned egg, 3 sheets of seaweed, 3 slices of chashu, plenty of green onions, spinach, menma, and 2 shrimp wontons! What a luxurious meal at such an affordable price. The soup had a good balance of seafood and animal flavors, clear and light yet still flavorful. The straight thin noodles paired well with it. There was a generous amount of noodles, and I found the seasoned egg and chashu a bit salty. I ended up leaving one slice of chashu. The green onions in this ramen were cooked until soft, and when mixed with the noodles and soup, it created a delicious combination. I'm not a big fan of green onions, but they played a crucial and delicious role in this ramen. It was a new discovery for me. Hakodate salt ramen is really good! Thank you for the meal!

Shiokan (Shiokan)・Tokyo: About 10 minutes walk from Ebisu Station East Exit・Budget: ¥1,000-¥1,999 After visiting Ebisu Jingisukan Umizuki, I went to Shiokan in Ebisu where you can enjoy authentic Hakodate salt ramen. It's about a 10-minute walk from Ebisu Station East Exit, so it's quite close. I've been to this ramen shop many times, and this time I ordered their most delicious dish, the classic "Asari Ramen" with firm noodles! The golden-colored soup of the Asari Ramen is made by simmering clams, chicken bones, kombu, and various vegetables for 4 hours every day, resulting in a light yet flavorful broth. The aroma of wheat is also prominent, and the firm noodles complement the soup perfectly. I definitely want to try it again next time I'm in Ebisu! Thank you for the meal~ Tabelog rating: 3.61 (at the time of posting) - Asari Ramen (Firm noodles, tax-inclusive ¥1,000) *Noodle firmness options available: firm, regular, soft - Spicy Miso Ramen (for companion, tax-inclusive ¥970)

Today in Tokyo, it's scorching hot like midsummer. Lately, it feels like I've been living on a diet of ramen every day. For lunch on Saturday, I went to a salt ramen shop. Even though it wasn't yet 11 o'clock, they were already open. I couldn't resist and went in. I didn't plan on having ramen today, but I made up my mind. I ordered the special salt ramen with the noodles cooked firm. Surprisingly, the ramen came out quickly. The soup had a clear appearance with a sweet taste, probably from the umami of kelp. The noodles were delicious and the chashu was tender. The wontons were also tasty, and the egg was decent. The soup was light and gentle on the body. It was a delicious salt ramen. Thank you for the meal.
