A few days ago, I visited and ate at Omoteura Black, which I really liked, so I decided to revisit to try all the discounted items. We arrived around 8 pm, with about 5-6 customers before us and 3-4 customers after us. We ordered tantanmen, Omoteura Black, yakisoba, and added Mega Karaage. The tantanmen and Omoteura Black were served in less than 10 minutes, and while we were eating, the Mega Karaage and yakisoba were also served. The tantanmen had a rich sesame-based soup with spiciness and a numbing effect from the sansho pepper, very tasty. The Omoteura Black was delicious as always. The yakisoba was a bit sweet with a nice oyster sauce flavor. The Mega Karaage was a flat fried chicken. It seemed a bit bland, maybe because my taste buds were numb from the soup or it was lightly seasoned. I tried dipping it in the tantanmen and Black soup, and it tasted even better. They offer 3 types of thin noodles, all good, but personally, I still prefer the Omoteura Black. (December 2022)

I found a shop that specializes in spicy ramen. Inside the shop, there were signatures of various famous people, and they also offer extra-large portions. I tried the Antarctic Ramen (with half-fried chicken topping), and it was incredibly spicy. It is a hearty ramen in the style of a family recipe. I have tried many spicy ramen dishes before, but this one surpassed them all.

I felt hungry and wanted to eat ramen late at night, but it was still before 10 pm and there weren't many open restaurants. I racked my brain to find a place that was open until late, and ended up at this place. I remembered they used to serve cold noodles around this time, but unfortunately they were sold out. So, I decided to try their seasonal cold tantan noodles instead. It was lighter in volume compared to regular ramen, and perfect for hot weather with its refreshing taste. I thought it could have been a bit spicier, so I added some chili pepper on my own from the table. Overall, it was delicious and I enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal!

First visit. I saw a competitive eater on YouTube eating Stamina Soba with meatballs and it looked delicious, so I ordered it. It seems to be a limited menu item, so I'm glad I came before it ended. The combination with white rice was excellent as it looks. The soup had a hint of yakiniku sauce. The topping of fried chicken was very delicious, so I plan to add more toppings next time I come. I also want to try the regular ramen menu.

Lunch on 08/16 (Wednesday) ... Umakara Ramen Omoteura Takadanobaba store ... Stamina Soba 1,000 yen ... Cash payment ... Good speed of service, delicious taste, good portion size, even though it was past 11 o'clock, there were still 5 customers, quite popular ... It came with rice, so the theory of zero calories by dividing carbohydrates by carbohydrates was valid ... It had plenty of pork belly which gave it a satisfying taste ... I also wanted to try the fried rice.

DX Half Size for 700 yen. Last month, I had the best dining experience at Takanotsume in Gyotoku, but I found a similar restaurant nearby and decided to try it out. It was empty since Obon. I ordered the Half Size with the same spiciness level as Takanotsume, including garlic. The portion was a bit small for me. The taste was almost the same as the Gyotoku restaurant, delicious, but it didn't evoke the same level of excitement as before.

You can sit without waiting around 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. There were too many candidate restaurants near Takadanobaba Station that I was interested in, and I finally visited one for the first time. This time, I ordered Stamina Soba. The curly noodles had a thin-looking soup, but the flavor was strong. The pork belly had a generous amount and provided a satisfying meal. The white rice was definitely necessary, as it added a strong punch. I thought, "This is dangerously good! It's so delicious that it might become addictive." I believe many people would want to come back, so I highly recommend it.

It was a bit challenging to dive in without any prior research. By chance, I entered a shop recommended by a previous customer, and to my surprise, it was a Jiro-style ramen! I thought I couldn't handle such a huge portion. I struggled with the ticket machine, as I'm not a fan of spicy food. Following the "top left" rule, my order was served in just 3 minutes. The soup had a strong soy sauce flavor that didn't overpower the sweetness of the meat. The amount of pepper was quite bold, maybe a bit too much. The rice was a perfect addition. I noticed some interesting toppings like a single piece of fried chicken. I'll study more and visit again.

Just had Chinese noodles at 表裏 @babahyouri in Takadanobaba, Tokyo! It was delicious and reasonably priced. #UmakaraRamenHyouri #UmakaraRamenHyouriTakadanobaba #ramenlover #noodlestagram #ramen #noodles #japanesenoodle

Visited at 2:30 pm with one person first and three people later. I was torn between "Ankake DX" and "Umakara Miso Ramen DX". I couldn't quite tell the difference at first glance, so I asked the staff. "Ankake DX" is a pork bone-based dish with fried eggplant on top. "Umakara Miso Ramen DX" is a miso-based dish with ground meat on top. I decided to go with Ankake DX this time. The fried chicken on top is freshly fried each time an order is placed and then served. It was juicy and hearty, perfect with rice. There was also a good amount of bean sprouts. As for the "spiciness," I visited for the spicy food, but it turned out to be almost zero spice level. I chose the spiciness level of "Takanotsume," but it seemed not spicy at all. Maybe they forgot to add the chili peppers? Or perhaps Ankake DX is just not meant to be spicy? The soup lacked richness and was a bit unsatisfying. The noodles were thick and had a good texture. The restaurant offers a time service from 3 pm to 6 pm on weekdays. I will definitely try the miso option next time without hesitation!

I have been wanting to go here since my college days, and it's been about 7 years now. The noodles were surprisingly thin, but easy to eat and I finished them in seconds. It's great that they have created a hub for high-calorie ramen that is different from the Jiro-style (another one being Staman soba). The only place where you can dip your fried chicken in the soup.

It seems like a battlefield? Many athletic boys come here to challenge themselves, making it a sacred place for them. Among the ramen shops, this one is known for its sweet and spicy flavor, but it has gradually become known for its super spicy dishes. This is especially true for their limited-time menu items, which feature dangerously spicy options.

Curry Ramen Deluxe (1,300 yen, 1,200 yen until the end of June!) The crispy surface with hot, juicy broth is topped with amazing fried chicken. The curry-flavored soup has a hint of spices but is not too spicy, lacking impact compared to other spicy restaurants. However, it is a soup that is easy to drink and has a good balance of flavors that would appeal to many people. During June, the curry ramen and tsukemen are both 100 yen off. I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the meal!

I think it was Anka DX that I saw on Tabelog and it looked delicious, so I decided to go. When I arrived at the storefront, I found out that Curry DX and Curry Tsukemen were back. It was my first time at this restaurant, but I wanted to try the Curry Tsukemen. I ordered the medium size with normal vegetables. After trying it, I thought it was very delicious. They managed to make the Curry Pork Noodles, which I didn't find tasty at another restaurant in Daimon before, taste delicious. The dipping sauce was hot, and personally, I prefer a stronger curry flavor, but the balance was good and this taste was also delicious. The dipping sauce was so hot that I felt like I needed water when I left the noodles in it. This dipping sauce also goes well with fried chicken. The crispy outside and tender inside fried chicken paired well with the curry-flavored dipping sauce, and when eaten with the noodles, the crispy texture of the fried chicken added to the taste. The bean sprouts also helped to refresh the palate, balancing out the overall heaviness of the dish. It seems like it's a limited time revival, so even though I didn't try the regular menu this time, I thought it was so delicious that I might try this and the Curry DX before it's gone. I was so focused on eating that I missed the mahjong game in the background.

I visited the restaurant after a long time and it was cleaner than before. It still operates on a ticket system, but now you can't choose the level of spiciness. Instead, there is hot mustard on the table for self-service. I ordered the Anka DX. The portion size remains the same. I also added an egg topping. By the time I reached the noodles, I was already full from the bean sprouts, haha.

I went to Takadanobaba to try the Umakara Ramen Omoteura's Ankake DX, which I had been curious about for a while. When I arrived at the restaurant around 8 PM on a weekday, it was not crowded. I purchased a meal ticket first and ordered their popular menu item, Ankake DX. The interior of the restaurant was simple with only a counter and tables. There were condiments like red pepper on the counter. The ramen was served in about 7 minutes. It came with a large piece of fried chicken, bean sprouts, garlic, and eggplant. The soup looked very spicy with the use of red pepper and chili oil. I tried the soup first, and it was delicious with a strong spiciness from the red pepper. It was a flavorful umami-spicy soup made with animal broth and red pepper. The thick noodles were well coated in the flavorful soup. The generous portion of noodles was satisfying. When I soaked the bean sprouts in the soup, I could taste the flavor of the soup even more. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and went well with the flavorful and spicy soup. The large piece of fried chicken added to the satisfying meal. Dissolving the garlic on top of the bean sprouts in the soup enhanced the richness of the soup. It was a very satisfying ramen with a generous portion.

This is a review of a ramen restaurant called "Umakara Ramen Hyouri" located in Takadanobaba, Tokyo. The restaurant is part of the Kouji Group and is the only remaining branch from the original establishment in 2010. The restaurant is a 5-minute walk from JR Takadanobaba Station, Waseda Exit. The interior is narrow with a long layout, seating 7 at the counter and 2 at tables. The menu includes their signature "Chukasoba" and "Ankake DX" as well as other options like "Tanshi Chuka Men" and "Oyako DX". The reviewer tried the Ankake DX, which was on discount, along with extra noodles and a Jjajangmyeon rice bowl. The dish arrived with a large piece of fried chicken on top of a mountain of vegetables in a spicy broth. The soup had a rich umami flavor with a sharp spiciness from the chili. The vegetables were crunchy and the noodles had a firm texture. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, perfect for dipping in the soup. The reviewer enjoyed the addictive combination of spiciness and umami in the ramen.

I finally tried the spicy ramen at Uraomote in Takadanobaba that I've been wanting to visit for a while! I ordered the Spicy Ramen Ankake DX with extra vegetables. It was incredibly flavorful. I was worried if I could handle the spiciness, but it was just right. The crispy fried chicken was delicious too. The vegetables were a nice touch. I was really full afterwards, but completely satisfied! The portion was generous and I definitely want to visit this restaurant again!

Umakara Ramen Uraomote Takadanobaba Other posts → @ramen_ossanjyoshi Lady's set + karaage ¥500 + ¥280 ★★☆ I wanted to eat spicy noodles so badly, so I came here looking for it! Wednesdays are ladies' day, and I was delighted to have a bowl plus a soft drink for only 500 yen with oolong tea. Thank you so much! Thank you so much! I ordered a regular size with less vegetables, spiciness level of "takanotsume," and normal garlic. You select everything at the ticket machine. I thought I could handle more spiciness, so I added extra chili peppers midway through. The karaage was incredibly delicious! I want to go back again. Also, the coffee shop diagonally across is also amazing. #Takadanobaba #Nishiwaseda #NishiwasedaGourmet #TakadanobabaGourmet #UmakaraRamenUraomote #RamenLunch #Uraomote #JiroStyle #OneBowlSomeday #Ramen #RamenGirls #RamenLovers #ConnectWithRamenLovers #RamenClub #Noodlestagram #Noodlegrammer #RamenPatrol #ConnectWithGourmetLovers #ConnectWithSpicyFoodLovers #Noodles #ramen #JapaneseGourmet #RamenTokyo #Takadanobaba #Nishiwaseda

I stopped by Omoteura while in Takadanobaba for errands. I ordered the Ankake DX (1300 yen), which had a generous portion and great value. The garlic-infused soup coated the noodles nicely and was delicious. The chicken thigh tempura was okay, but the other items were tasty, so overall I left satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

I had been wanting to visit Omoteuribiyori for a while. I had been to the Ichigaya branch before, but it had already moved... I finally had the opportunity to visit this time, and I ordered the most popular dish with extra vegetables. It looked like a ramen dish from the Jiro style, very appetizing. First, I tried the delicious-looking fried chicken, which was juicy and large in size. The batter itself wasn't heavily seasoned, but it was delicious on its own. I wanted to eat the vegetables (boiled bean sprouts) with the soup, but there were so many toppings that I ended up eating them with the fried chicken. Along the way, I drizzled some sauce from the table onto the dish. Eventually, I reached the noodles and soup. Surprisingly, the noodles were not the usual thick noodles but round noodles. The soup, despite its appearance, was not very spicy, with no numbing sensation. I lifted the noodles from the bottom, mixed them well with the soup, and took a bite. It wasn't as strong as I had imagined, but it had a deliciously spicy flavor. Despite its appearance, I finished it all in no time. Personally, I prefer stronger flavors, but this was good.
