A branch of Honmarutei has opened in Shinbashi, and I visited around 13:30 on a weekday. It has been four years since I last had their ramen at the main store in Yokohama. There were two customers before me. The ticket machine is a touch panel type for cashless payments only. It seems like more and more shops are becoming cashless these days. This time, I tried the Ume Tori (plum chicken) ramen. I sipped on self-service water while waiting for about 5 minutes before my ramen arrived. The toppings included chicken chashu, chicken soboro, wonton, pickled plums, shiso, crispy plum, seaweed, white negi, and green onion. I took a sip of the soup. It had a strong chicken broth flavor and was delicious. It seemed to have aromatic vegetables and grilled jaw in it, giving it plenty of umami. The noodles were medium-thick and slightly curly, with a chewy texture. The chicken chashu was moist and tender. When I mixed in the pickled plums, the soup had a subtle acidity that added a nice touch. Combined with the seaweed, it felt like a chicken broth plum tea. I also ordered a side menu of ochazuke (tea poured over rice), which was incredibly delicious. Towards the end, the crispy plum and chicken soboro became more prominent, keeping the dish enjoyable until the last bite. While their standard salt ramen is delicious, the Ume Tori ramen was well thought out and left me completely satisfied. I finished every last drop. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The noodles were chewy and springy. The large, thick slices of chashu were delicious. There was one whole boiled egg and one meat wonton. The soup had a gentle chicken salt flavor. When feeling a bit unsatisfied, the Yuzu pepper on the table was a nice touch. Most of all, the combination of the springy greens and the salty soup was excellent. It was a unique and memorable taste. Thank you for the meal.

Located just a few minutes from Shinbashi Station Uchimaru Exit in Minato-ku, Tokyo, this salt ramen specialty shop has its headquarters in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. I visited around 1pm and the interior was already full, so I had to wait about 10 minutes to get a seat. They mainly accept cashless payments, keeping up with the times. Their signature dish, "Honmaru Salt Ramen" priced at 950 yen, features a light and clear salt soup made with carefully processed pork bones and chicken bones. The homemade flat hand-kneaded noodles are chewy and have a firm texture that nicely absorbs the soup. The toppings include chashu pork, wonton, and chrysanthemum greens. The chashu pork, especially, is incredibly tender and delicious. Pairing this with some alcohol would definitely be a great combination. Try adding some yuzu pepper from the table condiments to the noodles halfway through, and you'll experience a whole new level of deliciousness. Don't miss out on the tasty salt ramen and exquisite chashu pork!

"Honmaru Tei Shinbashi Store @ Shinbashi Honmaru Salt Tsukemen ¥1150 It's been 2 months since my last visit. This triple soup combines chicken, pork, and seafood flavors with a refreshing salt sauce. The medium-thick hand-kneaded noodles have a smooth and chewy texture, and the char siu pork is full of meaty goodness. The meat wonton is also excellently made. Unfortunately, today they didn't have shungiku (edible chrysanthemum) and used mizuna (Japanese mustard greens) instead. #Shinbashi #ShinbashiLunch #KanagawaLight #SaltRamen #HonmaruSaltTsukemen #HonmaruTei #HomemadeNoodles #RamenDB #Tabelog #RamenDatabank #RamenDatabase"

I ordered the Honmaru Shio Ramen (950 yen) and a canned beer (350 yen) on a weekday night. After drinking in Shinbashi, we decided to finish off with ramen, and ended up at this place that happened to be available. Despite the name having Yokohama in it, I was surprised to find out that they specialize in salt ramen! Having salt ramen after drinking was just the right amount of light and satisfying. I bought a ticket from the vending machine, handed it to the staff, and took a seat. The restaurant was quite lively at times, and then quiet, with a diverse range of customers. The canned beer arrived first, so we raised our glasses again. It's funny that we came here for the finishing touch, but ended up drinking more. While chatting with my companion, the ramen was served in about 4 minutes. The appearance was beautiful with a clear salt soup. The noodles were medium thick and curly. The chashu was very tender. There was something that looked like a wonton on the left side. It tasted similar to the noodles. It was refreshing and suitable for a finishing touch, and it was simply delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I resisted various temptations and came to this shop. I entered and chose the salt ramen at the ticket machine on the right. It cost 950 yen. I was guided to a counter seat and given a cold paper towel, which was much appreciated as it was hot outside. After waiting for about 5 minutes, my ramen arrived. It looked beautiful. First, I took a sip of the soup. Oh, it's delicious. I could drink it all day. I had to stop myself from drinking too much and started slurping the noodles. I really like these noodles. They go perfectly with the soup. The chashu was tender. Spring greens were included by default, and I was surprised to see them in ramen, but they actually go well together. I was very satisfied. I would like to go back again. Thank you for the meal.

In the past, there was a restaurant called Honmarutei in Kawasaki. I was completely hooked on their amazing salt ramen. However, the Kawasaki branch closed down. I knew there was a shop in Yokohama, but I never had the chance to visit. Recently, I stumbled upon Honmarutei in Shinbashi! When I found it, I had just finished eating, so I had to postpone my visit. But one night, when I had work in Tamachi, I finally had the opportunity to go. I ordered the salt ramen, of course. The ramen that arrived was as clear and beautiful as I remembered. It was topped with a large slice of chashu, a wonton, and spring greens. The spring greens were a distinctive feature, just as I remembered. The clear soup had a deep flavor that contradicted its appearance. The curly noodles paired well with the salty soup. The chashu was big, tender, and quite fatty, but the freshness and aroma of the spring greens quickly balanced out any heaviness. I remembered how well spring greens complement ramen. Maybe there's some nostalgia at play, but after not having it for years, Honmarutei lived up to its reputation. The salt ramen was surprisingly complex.

Located a little down a side street from Ueno exit of Shinbashi Station. The interior has only about 8 counter seats. Orders are placed using a cashless ticket machine. It was early afternoon and there were only two groups in the restaurant. The specialty here seems to be the salt ramen, so I ordered the Char Siu Salt Ramen. The ramen had the unusual addition of chrysanthemum greens. There were various toppings available, and you could add more on the spot with cash. The chrysanthemum greens went well with the salt ramen. Next time, I'll add them as a topping. The soup had a gentle flavor, with a hint of chicken oil floating on the surface. It looked really delicious. Additionally, there were wontons included. What I particularly liked was the Char Siu. It was tender but had a bit of a chew, and the seasoning wasn't too strong, so it didn't overpower the salt ramen's flavor. The noodles, soup, Char Siu, and chrysanthemum greens collaborated well and tasted great. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. Be careful when standing up from your seat, you might bump your head, haha.

I used to think that salt ramen was a difficult field, but this restaurant was surprisingly delicious. I was a bit tipsy, so I'll come back when I'm sober to confirm. Salt ramen is really difficult, isn't it?

#Yokohama Honmarutei Shinbashi Branch @Shinbashi Honmaru Salt Tsukemen ¥1150 A triple soup of chicken, pork, and seafood combined with a sharp salt sauce, paired with homemade hand-kneaded flat medium noodles for a chewy texture. The dipping broth contains minced chicken meat and thick slices of tender pork belly. The flavor of the spring chrysanthemum is also nice. #Shinbashi #ShinbashiLunch #KanagawaLight #SaltRamen #HonmaruSaltTsukemen #Honmarutei #HomemadeNoodles #RamenDB #Tabelog #RamenDatabank #RamenDatabase

Arrived at the restaurant at 1:54 pm on a regular day, with no customers before and one customer after. I had just returned from a business trip abroad and hadn't had ramen yet, so I was unsure where to go. I stumbled upon a restaurant I hadn't checked before, which seemed to have been open for about a year. It was a cashless-only store. I purchased my meal ticket from the latest ticket machine and received my bowl of ramen in just 4 minutes. The clear soup with flat noodles was delicious. The topping of rare chrysanthemum soaked in the hot soup added a nice touch, along with two thick slices of char siu and a meat wonton. I ordered a large portion, but it disappeared before I knew it. I also finished the soup, which felt more like savoring the broth than just salt soup. It was a great feeling to discover another excellent restaurant in the competitive area of Shinbashi. Thank you for the meal, I will definitely visit again when I'm hungry.

Salt Ramen "Shio Ra-men" in Shinbashi, a popular restaurant with long lines in Yokohama. Whenever I visit Yokohama, I always make sure to stop by this beloved restaurant. About a year ago, they opened a new branch in Shinbashi, so I went to say hello. The main store is in Yokohama, but the original main store in Hon-Atsugi seems to be under different management now. They also have branches in Motomachi, Yokohama Bayside, and Kawagoe, but as of now, this is their only location in Tokyo. Being in Shinbashi, they are closed on Sundays. However, they stay open until 2 am on weekdays and until 5 am on Fridays and Saturdays. They have a break time, so be sure to check their hours. The ticket machine is cashless only, so if you pay with cash, you can do so with the staff. I visited on a weekday evening when it was less crowded. While the main store in Yokohama is always busy, this location had no wait. A hidden gem. You order through the ticket machine, and the staff double-checks your order before printing the ticket with the owner. They even provided a basket for my belongings. Exceptional service. Just like the Yokohama branch, you can add toppings with cash after you are seated. Unfortunately, they did not have the gyoza that I always ordered at the Yokohama branch. I ordered the "Honmaru Shio Ra-men" (900 yen) with a salted boiled egg (120 yen). The beautiful presentation with the green spring chrysanthemum leaves. The homemade flat noodles were chewy and had a delightful texture. The clear and flavorful soup had a strong saltiness, which was delicious, but as I've aged, I found it a bit too salty to finish completely like I used to in the past. The thick and tender chashu was as tasty as ever. I prefer it over the trendy low-temperature cooked chashu found in many places in Tokyo. The flavored egg was also reasonably priced. One of the unique features of this restaurant is the spring chrysanthemum. When dipped in the hot soup, it emits a delightful aroma. I heard it was inspired by the first owner's favorite ramen shop in Osaka, the Kozue River Ramen. Overall, the Honmaru Shio Ra-men was delicious. I might visit the main store in Yokohama after a long time. This is definitely a recommended spot for a satisfying meal after a night of drinking in Shinbashi!

I entered the restaurant around 9:50 PM on Saturday. It was 30% full. It's great that this place stays open late. There are only counter seats, so it's safe for solo diners. They use a ticket machine system, and you can only pay with Suica or similar cards, not cash. I ordered the shrimp wonton salt ramen. They have salt and spicy ramen options. The salt ramen was not too light and had a good umami flavor. The wontons were deliciously smooth. I want to try the spicy ramen next time!

☆First visit (weekday afternoon in June 2022)☆ I arrived around 14:50 and was able to sit without waiting! This time, I ordered the salt ramen with shrimp wonton (1350 yen), with extra noodles (150 yen) and a seasoned boiled egg (150 yen). #Yokohama Honmarutei Shimbashi Store #Honmarutei #Ramen #RamenShop #RamenLover #RamenPatrol #RamenInstagram #ConnectWithRamenLovers #RamenAddict #RamenLunch #RamenDatabase #TokyoRamen #ShimbashiGourmet #ShimbashiLunch #YamanoteLineGourmet #GinzaLineGourmet #ShiodomeGourmet #OedoLineGourmet #TokyoRamen #Tabelog #RatingAbove3.5

The noodles had a nice firm texture, and the plum flavor was refreshing and invigorating. The pork chashu visible from the counter looked delicious, making me want to try it. It's a shop I'd like to drop by. There were a variety of toppings available, including spring greens.

Today's Poteran-chi→【First】Just being kind is not enough to be popular, including ramen, no repeat ☔️, the mini manma don is devilishly delicious and worth repeating. A ramen shop famous in Yokohama has opened in Shinbashi and I was curious about it, so I visited. The interior of the shop is clean and looks like a salt ramen shop, but among the various options, I ordered the "Ume Chicken Salt Ramen." I also ordered the "Mini Manma Don" recommended by the shop. The visual of the ramen is colorful and beautiful with pickled plums, but when I tasted it, it was delicious as a light salt ramen, but nothing extraordinary. I didn't feel any distinctive feature unique to this shop that I expected to feel with pickled plums, crispy pickled plums, shiso, and aosa. The chicken chashu was tender and tasty, and although there was chicken soboro and wonton in it, they didn't have much presence. The mini manma don was incredibly delicious with finely chopped pork chashu and kimchi, the combination was excellent. The rice was also topped with a special sauce, enhancing the flavor. Indeed, it seems worth going just for this. There was a note in the paper napkin holder saying "Watch your head," and I wondered what it meant, but I hit my head twice when trying to sit down after going to the restroom and refilling the water. There was not many customers, and even though it was famous in Yokohama, it might be tough to compete in Shinbashi considering cost performance.

It was a weekday lunchtime visit, but I was able to enter smoothly without much wait. I purchased a ticket for the Honmaru Salt Tsukemen ¥1100 at the ticket machine at the entrance, and sat at the counter seat. The thick, flat, medium-thick noodles had a chewy texture. The dipping sauce was a triple soup of chicken broth, pork bone, and fish broth with a sharp edge of salt sauce for a refreshing taste. The flavor of the spring cabbage was also good, and the thick-sliced pork belly chashu was voluminous. The amount of noodles, which is 1.5 times that of ramen, is plentiful and satisfying, but I finished it all and ended with a soup refill. Thank you for the meal. #Shinbashi #ShinbashiLunch #KanagawaLight #SaltRamen #HonmaruSaltTsukemen #HonmaruTei #HomemadeNoodles #RamenDB #Tabelog #RamenDatabank #RamenDatabase

I wasn't really hungry, but I wanted to go to a place with high ratings, so I ended up going in. The taste was refreshing and delicious! The owner's service was also good and pleasant.

In a fiercely competitive area known for rich and hearty ramen, this place stands out with its authentic salt ramen. It's a bit tricky to find as it's not directly on the main street, but tucked away in a side alley. The noodles are medium thickness and slightly flat in shape, with a satisfying amount in each bowl. The salt ramen still manages to be filling. The standout feature is the chashu, with a high-quality meat that gives a strong impression of well-marbled red meat.

Head to Honmarutei Shinbashi store in Yokohama. I ordered the Honmaru Salt Ramen with seasoned egg for 1050 yen. The light and flavorful soup made with chicken and seafood is rich and has a sharp saltiness, with a gentle flavor that seeps in, enhanced by the umami of kelp, grilled jaw, and dried shiitake mushrooms. It's rare to see spring greens as a topping on ramen, and there was a note on the counter's sign saying, "Please soak in the soup while it's hot. You can enjoy it even more deliciously." Following this advice, soaking it softened the greens, balancing out the bitterness and enhancing the aroma. The roasted pork belly chashu is fragrant and well-seasoned, while the wontons are delightfully chewy. The medium-thick wavy noodles with a higher water content are firm with a smooth and slippery texture. The slight sweetness of the wheat is subtly present and pairs well with the salt soup. Next time, I'll try the Akamaru Salt Ramen.
