■Date and Time: July 30th (Saturday) from 12:00 to 13:00 ■Scene of Use: Lunch ■Amount: 1,400 yen ■Food: Red king crab and shrimp with mentaiko and nori oil pasta (large serving) ■Impression: I was able to make a reservation for a head spa at Goku no Kimochi, so I headed to Harajuku. Whenever I go to Harajuku, I always choose this restaurant. The oil-based pasta here is really delicious. For this price, the quality is so good that I feel like there's no need to spend more money at an Italian restaurant. Today, I ordered the usual peperoncino. The combination of mentaiko, nori, and garlic is exquisite, and as always, I finished it in no time. This chain restaurant can be found in various locations, so if you see it during lunchtime, please consider visiting.

I went to Goemon Pasta for the first time in a while. After looking for stage costumes at Laforet Harajuku's sale, I found a place where I could have a late lunch with my friend. We arrived around 3:30 PM, but they still had their lunch menu available! It was very convenient for busy people like me who struggle with scheduling. I ordered the Octopus Peperoncino for 1000 yen. It had just the right amount of spiciness and olive oil without being too heavy. The atmosphere inside was calm, allowing us to relax even after finishing our meal.

It is located a little further down from the exit of Takeshita Street in Harajuku, next to the Murasaki Sports shop. The interior of the restaurant consists entirely of table seating. The space is spacious and very comfortable. The menu mainly consists of pasta dishes, with a variety of options to choose from. I ordered the Camembert cheese pasta. The taste was a bit light, but you could clearly taste the flavor of the cheese. The miso soup had just the right amount of seasoning and was very delicious.

I finally tried it because there was always a line, but the taste was bland and disappointing. The pasta lacked elegance as well.

I ordered a pasta with plenty of shrimp and mozzarella cheese in tomato cream sauce. There were a lot of shrimp, and the tomato cream sauce went well with the pasta. It was delicious.

I went to Harajuku to eat pancakes and ended up trying pasta with natto because I got a little hungry. I was curious because you don't see natto pasta often, but surprisingly it went well with the pasta and was easy to eat. Thank you for the meal!

This seafood tomato cream pasta is a taste that I periodically crave for some reason, but it's a bit pricey... With this price, I could have a nice Italian lunch, but personally, I still like it.

I had salmon and ikura soup pasta! I went during lunch on a weekday, and it came out about 10 minutes after ordering. It was delicious, so I highly recommend it! :)

I found this place while walking back from a cafe with my friend, so I decided to visit after a long time! Goeamon has too many attractive menu items, so I always have a hard time deciding (lol). Today, I chose one of the recommended summer dishes! It was salmon and shrimp with mozzarella cheese in mentaiko cream sauce. So luxurious!! It only had things that everyone loves! It had yuzu peel in it, and although it was a creamy sauce, it had a refreshing aroma. The cheese was also plentiful and delicious! I also want to try the cold pasta with pork shabu-shabu and fragrant vegetables from the summer menu if I have the chance. It's unrelated to the food, but on the way back, there was a sudden heavy rain, and I couldn't leave because of the rain, but the staff kindly gave me an umbrellaヽ(；▽；)ノ How wonderful! Thank you very much! It was a delicious meal.

When it comes to dining in Harajuku, as a frequent standing bar izakaya user, I often feel overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the neighborhood. However, when I stumbled upon "Gonpachi," I felt a sense of relief. Their octopus peperoncino is my favorite, with a perfect harmony between the tender octopus and al dente pasta. The power lunch went smoothly, and I'm ready for one more push towards the afternoon.

I found this chain restaurant called "Goemon" near Takeshita Street, just a short walk from Harajuku Station. The restaurant was quite small and narrow, with tables close to each other. It was crowded, but we managed to get a table with my child. We ordered the half & half set (with soup and a drink) which included carbonara and Genovese pasta. The pasta noodles were thick and firm, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. The portions were also generous!

This time I tried pasta at a chain restaurant called Goemon. There are no bad choices here, which is great. I had the summer vegetable pasta, which had a butter soy sauce flavor. The sauce was a bit uneven and there was too much oil, which was disappointing. However, it was nice to have my favorite flavor and get some vegetables in. I also got a dessert set with fruit jelly at the end. The leaves on top were a bit limp, not even good for decoration. Considering the price at a chain restaurant, they should improve on that. Overall, it was a satisfying meal!

When I went shopping in Harajuku, I had dinner at Goemon. It is located underground, just a short walk from the exit of Meiji-Jingumae Station. They offer a variety of pasta dishes, with the option to order them individually or as part of a set menu. The prices are quite affordable, ranging from around 1000 to 1200 yen for a single pasta dish and about 1500 yen for a set menu. I usually go for the dessert set, which includes a salad, soup, choice of pasta, dessert, and a drink. It's a very filling meal! Goemon is a unique restaurant where you eat pasta with chopsticks instead of a fork. If you prefer using a fork, you can ask the staff for one. Overall, it's a fun and affordable dining experience that I recommend trying out!

During my student days, I used to frequent Harajuku. After enjoying shopping to the fullest, I always went to this place to eat. It has a Japanese style, starting with a name inspired by a famous thief, a style of eating with chopsticks, and a clear soup served before the meal. They cook pasta in a sieve like a Yasuki-bushi. The taste is really delicious. Always delicious. I usually stick to the same menu, but I think anything you eat here is good. They also have menus that cater to women. The sets subtly stimulate the tastes of both men and women. When you finish eating and try to take a breath, the staff quickly come and clean up in no time. Is this also the Goemon style!? They swiftly steal the plates. I feel a small sense of urgency to leave quickly. But I keep going back for that taste.

Today, I went to Goemon for some reason. There are two Goemon restaurants in Harajuku, but I went to the one located after passing through Takeshita Street and crossing Meiji Street. It's quite small, isn't it? It's a lot different from the Nishi Shinjuku branch. It's probably about the same size as the old Shibuya branch. I used to go to the Shibuya branch a lot when I was younger. I entered the restaurant at 11:45 and it was about half full. It seems like there's no need to line up like at the Nishi Shinjuku branch. There are cheaper restaurants offering similar flavors on Takeshita Street. Here's the menu. They seem to emphasize the pre-tax price rather than the tax-inclusive price, which doesn't give off a good impression of the chain's attitude. Here's the soup. Even the simplest set used to come with a salad in the past. Are they struggling? At Goemon, it's carbonara. I haven't tried anything else besides that. I don't know what Italians would say after eating it, but it's a basic carbonara. It's not elaborate, but it's probably delicious at the level of a family restaurant. It's not a family restaurant, though. I always think that it's fine to eat with chopsticks, but when you eat with chopsticks, it's hard to slurp the noodles. But pasta is meant to be slurped, so it's a bit... that's why I always find it difficult to eat. Goemon. There's nothing particularly special about it, but it's easy to use because it's safe. === [Order] Charcoal-grilled carbonara 890 yen Large size 100 yen [Overall comment] The taste is the same at any restaurant, but the level of service varies depending on the restaurant or the person. Well, since it's Goemon, I guess you shouldn't worry about things like service. If you could click on the link below, it would be a great encouragement.

Today, I visited this restaurant for the first time to have dinner after work in the afternoon. I went out around 7 pm and saw lightning in the distance, and the sky looked ominous. The restaurant is located near the intersection of Takeshita Street and Meiji Street. The interior of the restaurant is not very spacious, with about 30 seats. It seems to get crowded during lunchtime on Saturdays and Sundays due to its location. Today, during dinner time, the restaurant was empty. As it is a pasta specialty restaurant, the menu is extensive. I ordered the Pork Shabu-Shabu with plenty of vegetables in sesame sauce for 1050 yen. I was attracted to the "plenty of vegetables" as I felt I needed more vegetables, but it only had a small amount of leeks, shiso leaves, and watercress. The taste was average, nothing special, just like the taste of a typical chain restaurant. As I left the restaurant around 7:40 pm, it started drizzling. By around 8 pm, it turned into a heavy downpour, perhaps due to the changing of the seasons...

I went to Goemon for the first time in a while. This time, it was my first time at the Harajuku store, and depending on the time of day, it can get really crowded. As expected, being in a prime location in Harajuku. I purposely avoided the peak lunch hours and quickly went in. I was drawn to the limited-time autumn menu and chose the Iberico pork and seasonal ingredients indulgent spa. I've never been able to say the name of Goemon's menu items properly because they are so long (laughs). With a variety of my favorite ingredients like Iberico pork and seasonal ingredients, I couldn't resist. The soy sauce butter seasoning was exquisite, and it paired perfectly with the onsen tamago. It was a dish that made me want to come back again before it's gone.

I visited the restaurant on a weekday night in early February. The interior of the semi-basement restaurant had a long structure. When we went, there were only a few tables and seats left, so I wondered if it was busy... but it turned out they just weren't rotating customers. We were seated at a table near the entrance, and it was extremely cold. The constant draft from the door and the direct hit of the air conditioning (cooling? blowing?) made it chilly. The people at the next table were also constantly saying "it's cold, it's cold" while eating. (I ended up eating with my coat on too.) The restroom (unisex, only one) was not cold, and because the kitchen was hot, it seemed like they weren't using heating. As for the food, I ordered the new dish "Carbonara with Meat Sauce and Onsen Egg," and my companion ordered a cream pasta with clams (I forgot the name). As usual, soup was served, but... it was so-so? It was bland and lukewarm. It didn't taste like this at other locations. My companion's beer was also lukewarm. At this point, I was quite worried. And as expected, the pasta was lukewarm too. The noodles were cooked just right, but the onsen egg was cold, and maybe due to the air conditioning, the first bite felt "a bit lukewarm?" and by the second bite, it was "cold." Moreover, the sauce had uneven flavors (some parts were strong, some were weak), and the meat sauce was sweet!! The saltiness of the carbonara part was just right, so I didn't feel like mixing it, and ended up leaving the meat sauce part. My companion's dish was just delicious. Was it just the timing? Some customers who were leaving didn't get water, a table for two had a tray for four, and a single customer was given two glasses of water. It seems like the communication was not going smoothly. And about the water, the server realized the mistake and took it to other tables. How is that okay? I wouldn't like that. Even if you hadn't touched it, it was still intended for another table, and being handed water without a tray is surprising. I entered without much thought because it was a chain restaurant, but I have no intention of going to this location again.
