This was my first time exploring Asagaya Station. I decided to come here based on reviews. When I entered the shop, the staff kindly asked me to purchase a meal ticket. I chose the regular pork ramen, sat at the counter, and the staff showed me a paper to confirm my ramen preferences. I requested garlic, extra pork fat, and vegetables as standard toppings. After about 10 minutes, the person who made the ramen personally brought it to my seat instead of just placing it on the counter. The pork was tender and very juicy! Delicious. The soup was also tasty, but it was a bit strong, so I ended up leaving half of it, especially since it was a hot day.

I visited Yamamoto for dried Chinese noodles and tantanmen, but they were closed for the day. So, I wandered around Asagaya Station and ended up at a Jiro-inspired ramen shop out of frustration. I ordered a draft beer for 300 yen, a pork ramen for 980 yen, and a set of gyoza for 350 yen from the ticket machine. The back tables seemed to be for nighttime use as only the counter seats were in use during the day. There were no other customers when I arrived, but four more came in later. The ramen was served in about 10 minutes. The vegetable portion was decent with only bean sprouts added. The noodles were medium-thick and straight, easy to eat. The soup lacked a strong flavor of animal broth and punch. The char siu was decently sized pork loin. The gyoza was delicious, and the cheap beer made it seem more like an izakaya. Overall, it might be better suited for drinking rather than just for dining. Thank you for the meal!

Today, even though it has been warm recently, it was chilly so I felt like eating something warm. I came to eat ramen. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen at "Man" in Asagaya, regular size with 250g of noodles for ¥980. The noodles were thick with a good chew, and the char siu was thick and satisfying. There was also a lot of bean sprouts, I couldn't finish it all. Next time, I'll go for the mini size with 125g of noodles. The taste was pretty good.

Tonkotsu Ramen for 880 yen Asagaya Ramen Sakaba Man Visited for the first time around 11:10 am. Used the ticket machine to order the Yoshio's special Tonkotsu Ramen. Sat at the counter and gave detailed instructions to the staff. Ordered regular noodles (250g), extra garlic (2 tablespoons), standard vegetables (300g), a little back fat, and standard flavor. They also offer extra noodle refills. The portion size is quite generous. The chashu slices were large but lacked juiciness and had a slightly tough texture, which was a bit disappointing considering their appearance. The noodles were thick, not extremely thick, with some chewiness but lacking firmness. The soup was very dark and distinctive for a Jiro-inspired ramen, with good flavor but lacking a punch. It would have been nice to have some ichimi togarashi (Japanese red pepper) on the table. Surprisingly, the garlic was not very spicy for a tonkotsu ramen. It had a slight kick, but overall not overpowering. Overall, it was a filling meal.

Hello, this is Sappio. On this busy day, I found a ramen restaurant in Asagaya that is open for lunch after 3 pm. Since they have all-day service, I decided to stop by. It's located near Asagaya station south exit, on the same street as Hopeken and Gengen. The place was empty when I arrived, probably because it was an odd time. I ordered the "soupless ramen" which is a Jiro-style ramen with a slightly higher price tag. The portion seemed a bit small for the price. You can customize your order with garlic, pork fat, and vegetables, so I added extra garlic. The staff was efficient and the food was served promptly. The ramen had a good amount of bean sprouts and a side of sliced pork. The noodles were thick and firm, coated in a flavorful soy sauce base. The garlic added a nice kick to the dish. My only complaint would be the lack of toppings and condiments for the price. Overall, it was a decent meal, especially if you're looking for a Jiro-style ramen as a late-night snack after drinking. Finished it quickly. Thank you for the meal.

The place I visited on this day was "Asagaya Ramen Sakaba Man (Yorozu)", which opened in Asagaya on January 26, 2022. I had just visited "Men Dokoro Ryugu" which had a pre-opening in Asagaya near the north exit of the station the day before, but there seems to be a new store rush around Asagaya station recently. The location is a 3-minute walk from the south exit of the station. It is located on a corner lot on Asagaya Ichibangai, just across the pedestrian crossing on Nakasugi Street. This place used to be the site of "Tonkotsu Ramen Sakaki Asagaya Ekimae Store (formerly known as Menya Takujirou)" with its main store in Ikebukuro. By looking at the storefront signboards, it seems that the menu and content of this new store are quite similar to the "Sakaki" brand. From what I can gather, the previous "Menya Takujirou" operated as a delivery and takeout-only ramen shop since that time, and it seems like they are continuing this service even at the new store, maybe as a renewal? Although it's just speculation, the fact that you can enjoy a drink at a ramen shop and order delivery and takeout, with a menu that includes not only ramen but also side dishes such as gyoza, karaage, and potato salad, gives a sense of "Yorozu" meaning "we do everything! we have everything!" in a way, which may explain the reason for the change in the store name. The business hours are from 11:00 to 20:00 (during the pandemic), and I arrived at the store around 11:20. Inside the store, there are 6 counter seats surrounding the kitchen and table seats in the back. Compared to the relatively relaxed number of customers dining in, there were many orders for takeout and delivery, which made me feel like this is the new style of ramen shop in the "WITH Corona" era. Now, looking at the ticket vending machine inside the store, the signature menu is "Tonkotsu Ramen" with three sizes: mini (2 slices of pork: 125g of noodles) for ¥780, regular (2 slices of pork: 250g of noodles) for ¥880, and large (2 slices of pork: 375g of noodles) for ¥980. You can also add extra noodles and extra chashu. Other noodle menu items include "Light! Shoyu Ramen", "Soupless Ramen", "Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen", "Soupless Ramen", a limited quantity of "Miso Tonkotsu Ramen", and a store-exclusive "Tonkotsu Tsukemen". Additionally, as a unique menu item not found in other stores, they offer a "Shime Ramen (soy sauce flavor)" for a coin to customers who order alcohol. I purchased the "Tonkotsu Ramen (regular size)" and requested to change it to tsukemen. When I sat at the counter seat, a staff member brought something like an order form and first asked me to choose the noodle size from regular, medium, and large, but since I didn't know the noodle size, I asked, and they said it was 200g for regular, 300g for medium, and 400g for large. I chose medium because regular seemed insufficient. Next, they asked if I wanted "vegetables" or not, and I answered "yes", "no" for garlic, and "standard" for back fat. There was a lemon water pot and glass on the table, and the water was self-service. The table condiments included GABAN black pepper ground, soy sauce, chili oil, and vinegar. The chopsticks were disposable. After a short wait, the staff brought the tsukemen. The noodle bowl was filled with plenty of bean sprouts and a cabbage leaf. It was voluminous, equivalent to 300g of noodles. The dipping sauce was a non-emulsified tonkotsu soy sauce with back fat floating on top. There were only vegetables as toppings, and no visible meat, but I found shredded pork at the bottom of the dipping sauce. After finishing the noodles, I put the remaining bean sprouts into the dipping sauce, and when I lifted them up, the shredded pork came along, making me feel like I was fishing for meat with the bean sprouts, which was amusing. Now, I tried the noodles alone first, and they were thick noodles with a strong chewy texture, giving a satisfying bite and a direct taste of wheat. The noodle surface was smooth, easy to eat, and had a good throat feel. These noodles are homemade using only top-grade wheat. There was a time when it was operated as "Jikasei Jukusei Men Yoshioka-Sakaki Ichimon" in the past, and the homemade...

I visited a ramen shop near Asagaya Station on a regular weekday afternoon. It was about a 3-minute walk from the station's south exit, just before entering the Pearl Center shopping street towards Koenji. I remembered there used to be a different ramen shop here, but it had changed since then. I purchased a regular size ramen ticket for 880 yen from the ticket machine on the left. You could customize your order, so I chose standard garlic, light vegetables, fatty broth, and medium spiciness. It seemed to be a type of Jiro-style ramen. The noodles were quite dry, and I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it all. Overall, it was a bit too much for me. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch ramen cycling took me to "Asagaya Ramen Sakaba Man" in Asagaya. They opened on January 26th. Originally, I had planned to go to "Niboshi Ramen and Tantanmen Yamamoto" and was all set to eat, but on the morning of the day, I found out that "Yamamoto" is only open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And guess what, this Tuesday was their regular holiday (^^; Since my mind was set on Asagaya, I looked up recently opened restaurants in Asagaya and found "Ramen Sakaba Man". I took it as fate and decided to visit. I arrived a few minutes past their 11 am opening time. This place seems to have a high turnover of tenants and doesn't seem to stick. I was the first customer, followed by three others. I ordered the "Tonkotsu Ramen Regular Size for 880 yen" from the ticket machine. While waiting, they received quite a few delivery orders, so they seemed quite busy. I asked for extra vegetables, garlic, and lard. The voluminous G-style ramen arrived, and I was delighted (^^). It was much lighter and easier to eat than it looked. The salt content was also moderate. Surprisingly, it might be good for the body (laughs). The garlic in the soup was strong, stimulating my appetite. Slurping the medium-thick noodles and biting into the thick chashu made me feel happy and full, both in my heart and stomach. It was delicious, thank you for the meal. I'll leisurely ride back on my cross bike.

I found a new ramen shop in this area! I can't resist going there! The ramen is not as rich as it looks, so it's easy to eat! You can adjust the richness to your liking, and they also have refreshing ramen. They call themselves a sake bar, so they have alcohol and snacks too. And it's so cheap!!! I think I'll become a regular customer from now on!

On January 26, 2022, Asagaya Ramen Sakaba "Yorozu" opened near Asagaya Station. For lunch today, I visited this "Yorozu" restaurant. The location is a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Asagaya Station, just 100m along the side street next to McDonald's towards Koenji (along the viaduct). It is the former location of Jiro-style ramen "Sakaki". The restaurant advertises itself as serving "hearty ramen" with appetizers starting at 100 yen, making it a place where you can enjoy ramen and drinks. Upon entering the restaurant, I used the ticket vending machine to order their main menu item, the "Light Soy Sauce Ramen" for 750 yen, with an additional topping of "Flavored Egg" for 100 yen. During the meal, I also added an extra serving of noodles for 100 yen in cash. The noodles in the "Light Soy Sauce Ramen" were medium-thick and chewy, complementing the soup well. The standout feature was the "thick and incredibly delicious pork slices". I look forward to trying their signature dish, the "Pork Ramen", next time. Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend Yorozu to fans of Jiro-style ramen and pork lovers, especially those looking for a place to enjoy ramen with drinks. The "Light Soy Sauce Ramen" I had was really delicious. Thank you for the meal. Congratulations on the opening. [Store Information] Name: Asagaya Ramen Sakaba "Yorozu". Genre: Ramen.

This is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink before indulging in a not-so-healthy meal to finish off. If you're craving meat, you can easily order extra portions. It's a casual and laid-back restaurant.

I had a regular-sized pork ramen. The soup was light and had a gentle flavor, making it easy to eat. The pork was tender and very delicious. You can customize your order in detail, so it seems like everyone can enjoy it. Thank you for the meal.

I had soy sauce ramen. It was very much to my liking. I will definitely go back.
