I had the opportunity to visit the Koenji area on a business trip. I originally wanted to revisit the Kichijoji store, which holds a special place in my heart, but the timing coincided with the store's break time, so I visited this branch instead. The Higashi Koenji store seems to be open all day, although there was a sign outside saying "Closed on Wednesdays for the time being", so be aware of that. I visited around 5 pm on a weekday and there were 2 other customers inside. The atmosphere was welcoming with both counter and table seating available. I purchased my meal ticket from the ticket machine on the right as I entered. This time, I ordered the Veggie Potage Tsukemen with flavored egg (950 yen) and extra noodles (50 yen). I handed my ticket to the kitchen staff at the counter and when asked about the type of noodles, I went with the signature germinal noodles. I also requested it to be served hot. The dish was served in about 5-6 minutes. It had been years since I last had Veggie Potage Tsukemen. The germinal noodles had a unique black appearance and firm texture. The thick and rich dipping sauce contained diced chashu, bamboo shoots, and watercress, with a refreshing touch of yuzu. The flavored egg was perfectly cooked. It was indeed a consistently delicious tsukemen. Thank you for the meal.

Vegetable Potage Tsukemen for 890 yen, with an extra-large portion for 50 yen. At Menya Enji in Higashi-Koenji Minami, Suginami-ku. I revisited around 12 o'clock to try their noodles again. Ordered the embryo germ noodles in a large portion. After about 15 minutes, the dish arrived. I added a little habanero. The rich soup was delicious, especially when mixed with the soup wari. #Tsukemen #DippingNoodles #VegetablePotage #Ramen #ChukaSoba #NoodleAdventures #Noodlestagram #Koenji #MinamiKoenji #SuginamiWard #Tokyo

I arrived at the restaurant at 2:00 PM and it was crowded. I ordered a large serving of Chinese soba with thick noodles for 790 yen plus an additional 50 yen. I added some extra soup to the broth and enjoyed changing the flavor with bonito flakes, chili peppers, and habanero on the table. The thick noodles were very filling.

This is my visit number ___ to this restaurant. I chose the vegetable pot-au-feu dipping noodles with egg and chashu, and opted for the sprout noodles! The thick and firm noodles mix well with the dipping sauce. The sauce, filled with plenty of vegetables, is like a potage - rich yet light, making it a healthy dipping noodles option.

Delicious vegetable-based tsukemen that may appeal to Tenkaippin fans. The dipping sauce is rich and creamy, with a hint of yuzu fragrance and a slight spicy kick. I opted for the healthier option of embryo wheat noodles, which were chewy and tasty. Ordering it hot ensures that the dipping sauce stays warm until the end. With the rising cost of ingredients, tsukemen priced at over 1,000 yen are becoming more common, so at 850 yen, this one is a bargain considering its deliciousness.

Veggie Spicy Potage Tsukemen for 900 yen with extra noodles for 50 yen (0.5 portion). Level of spiciness: 4 (extremely spicy). Restaurant: Enji, located at 1-6-11 Koenji Minami, Suginami-ku, Tokyo. Visited around 12:20 PM. It was a long-awaited revisit to this ramen shop. Opted for the extremely spicy (level 4) spicy tsukemen. The extra 0.5 portion of noodles for 50 yen was a good deal. The noodles were made of germ rice and served cold. After about 10 minutes, the dish arrived. Despite being the spiciest option, the veggie potage dipping sauce added a delicious flavor, creating just the right amount of spiciness. I enjoyed the meal by adding soup and vinegar halfway through, savoring the taste variation until I finished it all. Enji's tsukemen never disappoints, it's always delicious! #tsukemen #dippingsoba #spicy #veggiepotage #veggiepotagetsukemen #spicytsukemen #germrice noodles #ramenstagram #ramenshop #Koenji #KoenjiMinami #Suginami-ku #Tokyo

I missed lunchtime, but thank you for being open!! Ajitama Veggie Potage Tsukemen ¥950 with extra noodles ¥50. You can choose between sprout noodles and chewy noodles. I went with the chewy noodles. When I tried the soup alone, I found it quite salty? But once mixed with the toppings, it was delicious. It makes sense haha. I could taste the vegetable flavor and sweetness within the animal-based broth, and the yuzu accent was very nice. I enjoyed it non-stop! The chewy noodles had a smooth and satisfying texture, which I personally liked. There were various condiments on the table, so next time I'll enjoy experimenting with different flavors. I'll definitely come back!

They only accept cash, so be aware. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. This time, I ordered the Veggie-Potato Shrimp Tsukemen in a regular size. The soup was rich in shrimp flavor but not overpowering, just the right balance. The noodles were slightly curly and had a good chew to them, unique to Menya Enji. You can choose between whole grain noodles or chewy noodles for regular tsukemen. You can also add broth to the remaining dipping sauce at the end. It was a satisfying and delicious meal until the last bite. Thank you for the meal! [Summary] - Original Veggie-Potato Tsukemen! - Delicious Shrimp Tsukemen! - Great customer service!

Visited the restaurant around 12:30 on Saturday. Managed to get a table for two right away as there was an opening. Ordered the spicy tsukemen. You can choose from four levels of spiciness, and I chose medium, but it was pretty spicy! I ended up sweating a lot, so next time I might go for the mildly spicy option haha.

When it comes to tsukemen, the key to its deliciousness lies in the dipping sauce. Enji's tsukemen had a firm grip on that key! The noodles had a chewy texture, and the dipping sauce had a hint of yuzu flavor that made me smile with every bite. Furthermore, when I added the bonito-flavored dipping sauce to the remaining sauce, it was truly a match made in heaven! I enjoyed it until the very end. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was cozy, and the staff members were friendly with lovely smiles.

I have been to Kichijoji and Nakano before, but this was my first visit to Koenji. Yeah, the vegetable potage dipping broth is the best, and the sprouted grain noodles are delicious too! There was a difference between the main store in Kichijoji and the one in Nakano, but the Koenji store was almost the same as the main store, right? The fact that you can get a large serving for an extra 50 yen makes you not feel guilty and that's also good. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant on a regular night. The restaurant I was planning to go to was closed after 9 pm, so I decided to stop by here to satisfy my hunger. It was late at night, so there were few customers and I was seated right away. I ordered the Chinese ramen for 790 yen with extra noodles for 50 yen. They asked me if I wanted thick or thin noodles, and I chose thick noodles. The soup for the ramen tasted like they had mixed in the broth from dipping noodles. The noodles had a chewy texture. As I left, I couldn't help but think that ordering the dipping noodles would have been the better choice at a dipping noodle restaurant!

Tsukemen with extra noodles and egg for 1000 yen. This place really has the best tsukemen around here. Today is cold so I got it hot, but the cold version might actually be better for the texture. As always, the meat is just okay but the noodles are delicious. Being able to add extra soup is a real lifesaver.

Hello, this is SapiO. Today I will introduce "Menya Enji" in Higashi-Koenji, which is a branch of the original vegetable potage tsukemen shop located in Kichijoji. By adding vegetable paste to pork and fish, they create a rich flavor and use germinal noodles to ensure nutritional value. Despite being a rich menu, there is a certain health-consciousness about it, which seems to appeal to women as well. This chain seemed to dominate the ramen industry towards the end of the 2000s. I visited during lunchtime on a weekday, right at opening time. There was one person waiting in line when they opened, and more customers started coming in afterwards. The line inside the restaurant grew to one person waiting. There was only one female customer, but it seems that this is more of a meal for men. I ordered the default tsukemen from the ticket machine. The regular portion comes with 200g of noodles. I wanted to upgrade to the special portion (400g) or the mega portion (500g) for an additional cost, but the price jump from special to mega was quite high. It seems like they increase the price to limit the number of orders due to noodle boiling logistics. When I handed over the ticket, they asked me about the type of noodles (germinal noodles or chewy noodles) and whether I wanted it cold or hot. I chose germinal noodles and cold. The serving was done efficiently with the noodles neatly lined up. The noodle bowl was large and had a powerful presentation. The noodles, made from domestic wheat with germinal incorporation, had a strong and chewy elasticity. They were enjoyable to chew on. The tsukemen dipping sauce was a blend of pork bone, fish, and a unique vegetable paste. It had a thick and creamy texture, with solid lard added for impact. Despite the high fat content, the aftertaste was light, likely due to the vegetable paste. This was quite an innovative creation. The dipping sauce contained various types of fish, such as bonito, mackerel, sardines, shrimp, and others. There were chopped chashu pieces in the sauce. They were slightly dry, but added a classical touch to the dish. At the bottom of the noodles, there was a strainer. I finished by adding the soup provided on the table to the remaining dipping sauce, trying to avoid eating too much of the solid lard, and eventually finished the meal. It had been a while since I visited Menya Enji, but it was still delicious. I look forward to trying the chewy noodles next time. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this place again after it was closed last time. It was open this time. There are counter seats and table seats, and it gives the impression of being a relatively large space. The staff are energetic. Despite the cold weather, I decided to try the vegetable potage dipping noodles. The noodles were Enji's special sprouted grain noodles. They are quite thick, so I had to wait a bit before the dish arrived in front of me over the counter. Oh, and the dipping sauce here is thick and creamy, which is what makes it a vegetable potage. The serving was large, but at the bottom, there was a strainer, so it was actually a big portion. Nevertheless, it was very satisfying and filling. Ever since I tried Hanamizuki in Nogata, I had been wanting to come here, so I am very happy. Next time, I want to try the second location near Nakano Station North Exit. Thank you for the meal.

Tsukemen, extra noodles, 950 yen. The thick soup and thick germ noodles are amazing. It can be served hot, but I recommend it cold. The soup is thick and doesn't cool down easily, so you can keep the noodles warm until the end. Plus, they will add more soup if you run out, so you can get more hot soup. By default, there is not a lot of toppings, so it's best to focus on the noodles. They also drain the excess water, which is nice. The portion may not be as big as it looks at first, but they will add more for you.

Visited Menya Enji in Koenji, Suginami-ku and ordered the Vegi-Pota Spicy Tsukemen with half portion extra noodles for 950 yen. Arrived at 11:25 and there was one person ahead of me. The restaurant opened at 11:30 and I entered. Waited for the ticket machine to turn on, then ordered the spicy tsukemen with extra noodles. Sat at the counter and when asked about the level of spiciness, I chose the highest level, which is level 3 out of 4. The noodles were warm and had a nice aroma. The spiciness of the soup was quite intense at level 3. Overall, the tsukemen at this restaurant is delicious! ^ - ^

Tsukemen, 790 yen for regular size, extra noodles for 100 yen, a famous shop for vegetable-based dipping noodles. I have been to Ikebukuro a few times, but I also saw this shop and decided to try it. I purchased a meal ticket and handed it to the counter. You can choose the type of noodles when you hand in the meal ticket. Of course, I chose the germinal noodles. I usually order a regular size (with extra noodles) but this time I went for the extra noodles. As expected, the extra noodles had a significant volume. The thick and gentle dipping sauce paired perfectly with the fragrant and flavorful germinal noodles. The dipping sauce was plentiful and piping hot, so it stayed warm until the end. I felt that the noodles were a little too wet, but overall, it was very delicious. However, the extra noodles were a bit too much for me as an old man. Still, I managed to finish all the soup (laughs).

It had been a while since I visited this restaurant. Last time I had ramen, but this time I decided to try tsukemen for the first time. I chose the cold noodles with sprouted grains. The thick soup coated the noodles well and it was delicious, just to my liking. The combination of cold noodles and hot soup was at the perfect temperature for enjoyment. I think I'm hooked on tsukemen now. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

There is a shop in the shopping street of Higashi-Koenji. I went there on a Sunday just before closing time at 9:30 pm. I ordered the Veggie Potage Tsukemen with flavored egg for ¥890. You can choose between "chewy noodles" and "germ noodles" made with wheat germ. It was my first time, so I chose the germ noodles which have wheat germ mixed in them. When ordering, they asked me if I wanted the noodles hot or cold, and I opted for cold as usual. Since it was not crowded, it arrived in about 7 minutes. The noodles were thick and had a good texture, with a strong wheat flavor. The soup is made from fish and pork bones simmered with vegetables, but the vegetables were so tender that you could only taste their sweetness. Overall, the taste was quite traditional and comforting. It reminded me of the first time I had fish and pork bone broth 15 years ago in Higashi-Koenji. The "extra spicy habanero" condiment was indeed very spicy! Be careful not to put too much! It definitely adds a kick to the flavor. People who can't handle habanero should avoid it at all costs!
