Today's lunch was decided to be at a restaurant in Ginza before running errands. I was unsure of what to eat, but I decided to try a place I had always wanted to go but never had the chance. Hageten has several locations, but this collaboration store with Rairamen (Ippudo) was a first for me. You pay in advance and get a ticket. Cash only. Foreigners and elderly people seemed to take longer in front of the ticket machine. The seating is only at the counter. The menu offers only tempura rice bowls and ramen. You can also order items separately. I ordered: - Tempura Rice Bowl ¥1,050 (2 shrimp, smelt fish, squid, green pepper, seaweed, miso soup) The rice portion seemed smaller compared to other places, but it was actually just right for me. It was reasonably priced, delicious, and had a crispy finish.

I came to Ginza for lunch. I decided to try a new concept restaurant called Hageten and Ippudo Ramen. After much deliberation, I confidently chose the first button on the ticket machine, which was a combination of tempura rice bowl and ramen. I found it to be a clever combination because you can enjoy both without them clashing with each other. It's a win-win situation!

After getting a haircut, I visited the restaurant for the Tendon Ramen Set. Sometimes I really feel like coming here. The tempura is especially delicious, and the ramen was so filling that I had a little left over. They serve a smaller portion of rice so you can finish it all.笑

Tokyo: Ginza "Tendon and Ramen Hage-Ten" Hage-Ten is famous for its tempura rice bowl, but you can also order ramen as a set. The ramen has a tonkotsu broth with thin noodles. It's simple and relatively light. Surprisingly, the tempura rice bowl and ramen go well together. #TendonandRamenHageTenGinza #HageTen #GinzaRamen #GinzaTempura #GinzaGourmet #GinzaTabelog #TabelogSurfer #Eeeeeats #FoodPhotography #FoodPorn #Foodgasm #Foodie #Delish #FoodLovers #TokyoGourmet #FoodPorn #GourmetSurfer

I love tempura rice bowls, so I had been wanting to try out Tendon Hageten, which was recommended on TV as being both affordable and delicious. Before traveling to Tokyo, I did some research and decided to visit the restaurant. It was a hot day, but luckily a bit cloudy, so there were about 10 people waiting in line when I arrived. I queued up and after about 40 minutes, I was able to enter the restaurant. As soon as I entered, there was a ticket machine on the right, and I chose the tempura rice bowl (upper grade) for 1,300 yen. A staff member guided me to my seat and brought me a glass of water. 15 minutes later, my order arrived. The presentation was very impressive, and it looked absolutely delicious. It came with miso soup with clams, which was very tasty with red miso. The tempura was crispy and perfectly cooked, especially the sand borer tempura was outstanding. The sauce drizzled on top was just right and very delicious. It was truly a classic and delicious tempura rice bowl. Despite the wait, the staff were efficient and I had a great impression of the restaurant. It was really delicious. I will definitely go back to eat there again. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was tempura rice bowl in Ginza, delicious... This was my first time at this restaurant. I heard that it gets crowded on weekends with inbound customers, so I arrived at 11:45 and was the first person in line at the ticket machine. I entered the restaurant quickly and ordered a tempura rice bowl with white rice at the counter. I sat at a corner seat in a C-shape and handed the ticket to the waitress. She looked a bit puzzled when confirming my order of tempura rice bowl and white rice. After a few minutes, she confirmed my order again. In about 10 minutes, the tempura rice bowl was served. The tempura included shrimp, smelt fish, squid, green pepper, sweet potato, and seaweed, all fried to a crispy perfection. The shrimp wasn't as firm as I would like, but it was still good. The miso soup with clams was decent. There was self-serve pickled ginger on the table. The amount of rice in the tempura rice bowl was a bit small, so I recommend ordering it with ramen or getting extra white rice. Overall, it was a very delicious meal. Thank you for the feast.

Today, I tried the vegetable tempura rice bowl and ramen set. It was a hot day, but I was able to cool down inside while waiting, and the hot ramen was delicious. Many elderly women came in, so it seems like an easy place for them to visit. The vegetable tempura rice bowl had shishito peppers, shiitake mushrooms, sweet potatoes, maitake mushrooms, broccoli, and lotus root tempura, and I was surprised by the broccoli tempura as it was my first time trying it. The mini ramen was also delicious, including the soup.

I had a tempura bowl, but because they use oil, it gets hot, and the air conditioning wasn't great, so the restaurant was too hot and I couldn't enjoy my meal comfortably. The tempura bowl itself had shrimp, squid, fish, vegetable tempura, and shishito peppers, so the ingredients were good. However, it was a bit greasy.

- The system involves buying a meal ticket and receiving your tempura rice bowl at the counter within about 5 minutes. - Unlike typical chain restaurants, the tempura has a traditional crispy texture rather than an overly fried taste. - Despite the name "Hage-Ten," there is no particularly polite customer service; it operates more like a fast-food establishment. - Due to its location, there are many foreign tourists who visit the restaurant.

Vegetable tempura rice bowl for 920 yen. The atmosphere and cost performance are good. The food comes out quickly, the service is polite, and the seating is comfortable with only counter seats available. The sauce amount and thickness are just right (the bottom rice doesn't get soggy with sauce). It's a great place to quickly enjoy a delicious meal during work breaks. Next time, I want to try the ramen and tempura rice bowl set.

After being renovated from a small balding shop, the restaurant is now called "Hage Ten Ginza" and this was my first visit since the renovation. I visited on a Sunday around 1 PM and there were already 3 groups of 6 foreigners waiting outside. After waiting for about 15 minutes, we finally entered. The restaurant was crowded with foreigners. I ordered the tempura bowl (1,050 yen) and the mixed tempura bowl (1,150 yen) from the ticket machine. Due to the bird flu, the half-cooked egg tempura was replaced with squid tempura. The taste was great, especially for the price. Best value for money!

"Noodle activity ♥ After a long time, I had the crispy "Tempura bowl (large)" and the "Ramen with sesame-flavored pork bone broth" set from "Hage Ten" ♥ It came with 2 shrimp tempura, "Kisu Ten", "Maitake mushroom", and "Shishito pepper". Due to the high price of chicken eggs these days, they substituted the half-cooked egg tempura with "Squid tempura" (large), which added a unique touch to the tempura bowl ♥ The tempura was perfectly fried and paired well with the sauce and rice ♥ The cloudy soup of the ramen was rich in pork bone flavor with a hint of sesame that spread in the mouth with each sip, creating a delicious combination with the tempura bowl soup ♥ The noodles were ultra-thin curly noodles, which I personally prefer. The tempura toppings could be customized based on the price, so I added "Pickled ginger" for an extra kick. I really enjoyed the spiciness and the texture of the tempura batter. It was a delightful meal ♥"

When I passed by the restaurant, I was attracted by the delicious smell and decided to go in. It was lunchtime so there was a bit of a line, but the turnover was fast so I didn't have to wait long. I didn't hesitate and ordered the tempura bowl. I chose the vegetable tempura bowl (green pepper, shiitake mushroom, shimeji mushroom, lotus root, sweet potato, broccoli) and the mixed tempura bowl (2 shrimp, whiting fish, assorted tempura, green pepper, shiitake mushroom). Both had a nice aroma of sesame oil and the sauce was also elegant. Among all the ingredients, the broccoli was the most delicious. However, the shrimp, whiting fish, and assorted tempura were honestly not good quality. Perhaps because it's located in a prime area in Ginza, they may have to sacrifice something to offer this volume for just over a thousand yen. So, if I were to go again, I would choose the vegetable tempura bowl.

I visited for the first time. There were ropes for lining up in front of the store, so I thought it would be a crowded place, but luckily I was able to enter without waiting. It's a shop where you order with a meal ticket. The price is reasonable for tempura in Ginza. I ordered a tempura bowl. The sauce is a thick, sweet type, typical of tempura. There are 2 shrimp. They were not prawns like black tiger prawns, lacking the richness and flavor typical of shrimp, which was disappointing.

After finishing shopping in Ginza, I entered the restaurant recommended by a friend. Around 7:30 pm, there were two groups ahead of us, but we were seated in just 5 minutes because the turnover was quick. I couldn't believe that I could eat to my heart's content for only 1500 yen in Ginza, so I gave it a high rating. Of course, the taste was also excellent. Unfortunately, the floor was a bit sticky.

I had the "Kakiage Don" at "Hage Ten" in Ginza. It was topped with plenty of small shrimp tempura that was fluffy and crispy, along with two shishito peppers tempura. The tempura was light and delicious. However, I felt that there was not enough sauce in the bowl, so I asked for extra sauce to pour over it. I had a pleasant meal chatting with a woman from Singapore who was on a business trip sitting next to me.

I had some errands in Ginza on the first day of the new year! It's so crowded here, which is to be expected, but I didn't think lunch would be this busy at such an early hour due to the pandemic. I decided to line up at this place which had the least people. I ordered the "Joten-don" (mixed seafood rice bowl). The staff were efficient and my order came out quickly. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

On this day, I went to Ginza 1-chome for the first day of a course. However, before that, I wanted to try a restaurant called "Hachidaime Gihei" that I had been curious about for a while for lunch. Unfortunately, even though it was just past 11 o'clock, I was told that I could only enter after 12:40, so I had to give up. So, I went to another restaurant that I had not visited before. When I arrived, there were four people waiting in line in front of the store, and I became the fifth person in line. It seemed that the four people waiting were foreigners from Southeast Asian countries based on their language and atmosphere. After about 15 minutes, I was guided inside and purchased a ramen and tempura bowl set from the ticket machine before taking a seat. The restaurant had about 20 seats at the counter. The age range of customers was quite diverse, and foreign visitors were also noticeable. In just over 10 minutes, the ramen and tempura bowl set arrived. The ramen appeared to be based on tonkotsu broth. As expected, I tried the soup a few times. It felt slightly lacking for a Hakata-style ramen, but the addition of kelp and other dashi made it quite tasty. The noodles were thin and closer to flat noodles, lacking in firmness but had a good texture, although it definitely felt different from Hakata-style ramen. It should be considered as a separate type of tonkotsu ramen. The tempura bowl consisted of 3 prawns, fish, squid, shishito pepper, sweet potato, and instead of squid, it should have come with an egg tempura, but due to recent high egg prices, it seemed to have been replaced. The freshness of the ingredients was good, and the oil was also of good quality, resulting in an elegant finish, but the tempura lacked a bit of crispiness, so it would be better to eat the tempura on its own rather than in a bowl. The combination of tempura bowl and ramen was interesting, but both felt a little lacking. Thank you for the meal.

Ramen and tempura rice bowl make an interesting combination haha. I only ordered the tempura rice bowl, but it seems like a combination that would appeal to foreigners. The taste was delicious with sweet sauce and crispy tempura. Around noon on Saturdays, there was a line of about 20 people. Since there are many foreign visitors, the turnover is a bit slow.

The portion size was good, the tempura was delicious, and the noodles were tasty as well. Overall, it was a good meal. It was crowded during lunchtime, and after waiting for a while to be seated, I noticed that the table had not been wiped down. The hygiene situation needs to be improved.
