Suddenly, the scorching heat of summer has arrived. Tama River Ramen is offering their cold ramen once again this year. I decided to go for the large size after a night of drinking. The unique curly noodles are boiled and then rinsed in cold soup, topped with various ingredients. The cold soup, with a strong flavor of dried fish, is very refreshing. The noodles have a nice chewy texture and the large portion was satisfying. Slices of vinegar citrus add a refreshing touch to the soup. A small amount of light oil is also added, giving the soup a rounded flavor. The toppings, such as chashu and menma, complement the cold soup well. The finely chopped onions add a nice crunch to the dish. It felt like a good way to start the day with a cold bowl of ramen in the middle of summer. Summer is for cold dishes.

I went to the Fuchu Market on Saturday, September 23rd, a national holiday, and decided to try the Hachioji Ramen because it was on sale. The ramen cost 650 yen instead of 740 yen, and I also added extra noodles for 110 yen. There were three customers before me, but the seating area was spacious with the option to take out. The ramen arrived in about 5-6 minutes, and it came with two slices of chashu which was nice. The soup was surprisingly light and gentle, maybe a bit too light for my taste. Overall, it was a gentle and light ramen, so it might be more suitable for those who like a mild flavor. It's just a matter of personal preference. I recommend it for those who enjoy a light and gentle ramen.

I went to Tamagawa Fish Market to buy fish and had morning ramen. The Chinese noodles were thick and chewy, and the soup was made with dried sardines, which was delicious. The menu is diverse, so I would like to try different dishes next time. It was my first time visiting the market, and there were many interesting shops. Let's go again sometime. Thank you for the meal.

Morning ramen for 500 yen is just right for a hangover. The noodles are delicious. They are thin and just right. It makes you feel like morning ramen is the best. I noticed people around me eating thick noodles ramen and decided to try it next time. Today I decided to try thick noodles ramen.

Today I went to the Ohtokyo Sogo Oroshi Ichiba market in Fuchu. You can easily come by car because there is a large parking lot that is free. I was unsure which shop to choose when I entered. There were tonkatsu, seafood, udon, soba, ramen, and Chinese restaurants. Today, I decided on ramen and went to Tamagawa for their Chinese soba. All the shops open early in the morning, so around 2 pm, there were not many customers and it was quiet. I ordered the large serving of boiled fish Chinese soba from the ticket machine and ate it at the counter. The soup was light with a good fish flavor. At first, I thought it was light, but as I ate more, it had depth and was delicious. The noodles were medium-thin and straight, which paired well with the soup. Thank you for the meal.

This ramen shop is located inside a market in Fuchu, making it difficult to access on foot. They open early in the morning to cater to the market crowd, so it might be a good option for those who enjoy having ramen for breakfast. They serve a classic ramen with a clear broth that has a seafood flavor. While their noodles are not particularly unique or outstanding, the overall balance of flavors may appeal to those who like to eat there regularly. Access by car is essential, so it's a good spot for people who want to enjoy a bowl of ramen while doing some shopping.

I came to Fuchu market to have breakfast. I had a fish broth morning ramen for just one coin. The background music of AM radio creates a market-like mood. For just one coin, it was more than enough, and the light taste was lighter than standing soba, maybe similar to ochazuke?

Hachioji Ramen for 650 yen with an additional flavored egg for 100 yen, available for 4 days only on weekdays starting at 12:30. Two of us visited the restaurant, and our order arrived in about 10 minutes. The soup had the familiar delicious aroma of seafood and lard that Hachioji Ramen is known for. The thin noodles made by Mikawa-ya were excellent, perfectly blending with the soup. The toppings included two slices of rare pork shoulder chashu, flavored egg, thick menma bamboo shoots, seaweed, and plenty of finely chopped onions. It was a delicious meal! We actually planned to have cold ramen this time, but we couldn't resist the temptation of the limited-time Hachioji Ramen once again. (laughs)

【Recommended Restaurant★】【Child-friendly★】Went shopping at Fuchu Market after a long time.

May 23, 2023 (Tuesday) 5th visit! Today, I had air conditioning work scheduled in the afternoon, so it seemed like I wouldn't have time to go eat ramen. However, on my day off, I really wanted to have ramen! I thought, "I can have ramen for breakfast at Chuka Soba Tamagawa!" It had been about a year and a half since my last visit. I arrived at 8:34, with one customer already there and no one behind me. I bought a ticket for the Niboshi Chuka Ramen for ¥790 at the ticket machine on the left side after entering. The interior of the restaurant had an L-shaped counter with only six seats, and the owner managed everything by himself. The kitchen, cleverly arranged in a small space, was impressive. I received my bowl in about 5 minutes. First, I tried the soup. It had a gentle flavor of dried baby sardines, without any bitterness or fishy smell, making it a soup that would be enjoyed by everyone. The noodles, which seemed to be from Sanawayamen, were thin and straight with a slightly firm texture due to a low water content. They were neither outstanding nor disappointing. The toppings included crunchy and chewy thick menma, onions, kaiware radish sprouts, flavorful seaweed, and the highlight was the large slices of pork shoulder chashu, which provided a substantial bite. This restaurant is a rare find where you can have ramen for breakfast. Thank you for the meal!

Chukasoba Tamagawa @ Fuchu City, Tokyo @ Ramen I love this ramen shop and the owner's personality, so I visit quite frequently. This review is from my visit in the afternoon on January 2, 2023, which is 4 months since my last visit. I also visited on February 25, 2023, but this time, it has been 2 and a half months since my last visit. Located next to the Suntory beer factory along the Chuo Expressway, in the Odawara Tokyo Comprehensive Wholesale Center, this shop not only serves amazing Chukasoba but also has a charming owner, Mr. Ota. On the last day of Golden Week, when most other shops were closed, only three shops were open in the quiet Odawara Tokyo Comprehensive Wholesale Center, and this was one of them. This wholesale center has a large parking lot with 800 spaces, making it convenient. It is located in the middle of the first aisle where restaurants are lined up. The shop has only 6 seats surrounding the kitchen. There is also a shared dining space in the aisle. The counter seats are separated by transparent acrylic boards. Depending on the time, you can also eat on the opposite side of the aisle in the shared dining area. The menu includes Chukasoba for 740 yen, Hachioji Ramen for 740 yen, Fish Broth Morning Ramen for 500 yen, and mixed noodles. Toppings include flavored eggs and bamboo shoots. There is also a Negi-Charge Don and rice. The fish broth morning ramen for 500 yen, suitable for mornings, is a light ramen. Orders are placed through a ticket machine. The friendly and pleasant owner, Mr. Ota, runs the shop alone. Despite having no prior experience in running a ramen shop before opening this one, Mr. Ota's skills are excellent, and he always comes up with innovative ideas, resulting in very delicious ramen. The noodles are made by Mikawa-ya Seimen in Higashi-Kurume, with straight thin noodles for Hachioji Ramen and curly medium noodles for Chukasoba. My preference is for the medium noodles, but the refreshing taste of Hachioji Ramen is also addictive. The tonkotsu, seafood, and kombu dashi with soy sauce soup are heated in a pot for each bowl, and the two types of low-temperature cooked chashu are sliced with a slicer for each serving, showing the meticulous cooking. Today, the two of us had the limited edition Ebi (shrimp) Ramen for Golden Week (which will continue until mid-June). - Ebi Shio Ramen 840 yen - Ebi Miso Ramen 900 yen The bowls come with green onions, bamboo shoots, kaiware, chashu, and seaweed, topped with plenty of dried small shrimp. The Shio Ramen uses the usual thin noodles, while the Miso Ramen uses medium curly noodles. The soup contains a shrimp extract similar to American sauce, spreading a rich shrimp flavor in the mouth, making it a delicious ramen. Personally, I felt that the Miso Ramen had a better overall balance. Since it is within the market, the shop's operating hours are until 2:00 pm (sometimes 3:00 pm depending on the day), but it is a shop that I still want to visit frequently. Highly recommended. ★★★★★ Parking available. Free parking for 800 cars at the wholesale center. Visit date: May 7, 2023, for lunch Business hours: Open, Takeout available (to the shared dining area) Closed on Sundays, public holidays, and Wednesdays, as well as on the market's days off (although they are often open on these days, it is advisable to check online or by phone) Business hours: <Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat> 7:00-10:00 / 11:00-14:00 (Last order 15 minutes before closing) Smoking: Completely non-smoking Credit cards: Not accepted Electronic money: Not accepted Point cards: None Free WiFi: Available, with TownWiFi connectivity Power outlets at seats: Not available Possibility of repeat visits: Already a repeat customer Phone: 042-364-8211 Note: http://fuchu-ichiba.tokyo/shop/tamagawa/ https://foodplace.jp/tamagawa/ https://m.facebook.com/ramentamagawa/

On Saturday at 1:00 PM, maybe because of the rain, I was able to get in without waiting. The simple and gentle Japanese-style Chinese soba (with dried fish) was really good. The hand-made noodles were chewy and all the ingredients were delicious. Personally, I prefer the green onions to be sliced in rings if possible. It had a gentle taste, probably because they serve morning ramen. It's also a plus that you can use the market's parking lot.

Today I went shopping at the market. For lunch, we decided to each choose a restaurant to eat at. I had a large bowl of Chinese noodles with a seasoned soft-boiled egg and extra noodles. First, I tried the soup... It had a gentle soy sauce flavor without being too heavy or salty. The rich taste of the broth and seasoning was satisfying. The noodles were thick, curly, and flat. Personally, I think I would like to try thinner noodles next time. The taste was very soothing and satisfying. (*´▽｀*)

This is a ramen shop located inside the Ohtokyo Wholesale Market in Fuchu. It is situated in a corner where various restaurants in the center are gathered. There are counter seats inside the shop where you can eat, but you can also enjoy your meal at the outdoor seating area with tables and chairs. I had my meal outside this time, and when dining outside, you need to carry the ramen to your seat after receiving it from the shop. I ordered the Chuka Soba (Chinese-style ramen) in regular size for 740 yen. The thick curly noodles were well coated with a light soy sauce soup, and it was very delicious.

Hachioji Ramen. I loved the firm, thin noodles and light soy sauce soup with a refreshing texture. I ordered a large portion, so the noodles were a bit clumped together, which was a little disappointing. It would be great if they offered extra noodles as an option.

I tried the fish broth morning ramen at Chuka Soba Tamagawa. I couldn't really taste the fish broth... maybe my taste buds are not very sensitive. It felt a bit lacking for me. They have other menu options, so I recommend trying those instead. It might be good for those looking for a gentle flavor.

Located inside the Ota Wholesale Market in Greater Tokyo, this day was particularly crowded due to a visit from a certain mood music group. The restaurant I was aiming for was closed, so I was contemplating where to eat when I happened to spot this place. Do not underestimate it, the Hachioji Ramen here features a clear soy sauce-based broth with thin noodles and slightly rare chashu. They offer a thoughtful touch by serving the noodles slightly thinner than usual for their regular Chinese soba. Despite being a one-man operation, the efficiency in serving customers was impressive. Thank you for the meal.

Tamagawa Ramen at Fuchu City, Tokyo. To start off the new year, I visited my favorite ramen spot, Tamagawa. Located next to the Suntory beer factory by the Chuo Expressway, this shop not only serves amazing ramen but is also run by the charming owner, Mr. Ota. It is the only shop open in the bustling Dai Tokyo Comprehensive Wholesale Center, where all other stores are still closed. I visit quite frequently, but this review is the first in 3 months since my visit on September 29, 2022. Despite the quiet market, Tamagawa is bustling with familiar customers coming in one after another, exchanging New Year's greetings with the owner. The center has a large parking lot with 800 spaces, making it convenient for visitors. The shop is located in the middle of the first aisle where various eateries are lined up. The shop has only 6 seats surrounding the kitchen, with a shared dining space in the aisle. The menu includes Chuka Soba for 740 yen, Hachioji Ramen for 740 yen, Fish-based Morning Ramen for 500 yen, and more. Toppings include flavored egg and bamboo shoots, with options for extra toppings and rice bowls. The shop also offers a morning-friendly fish-based ramen for 500 yen. Orders are placed through a ticket machine. The friendly owner, Mr. Ota, handles everything alone, and the shop is always busy with a large number of customers. Despite having no prior experience in ramen shops, Mr. Ota's skills are excellent, and his creative ideas result in delicious ramen. The noodles are from Mikawa Somen in Higashi-Kurume, with Hachioji Ramen using straight thin noodles and Chuka Soba using curly medium-thick noodles. Today, we had Hachioji Ramen for 740 yen and Chuka Soba for 740 yen. The Chuka Soba had a rich and heavy flavor with curly medium-thick noodles, while the Hachioji Ramen had a refreshing and deep taste with a simple composition of bamboo shoots, chashu, chopped onions, and seaweed. The shop closes at 2:00 pm (sometimes 3:00 pm depending on the day) due to its location within the market, but it is definitely a place worth visiting frequently.

Special Shio Ramen with Extra Nori For breakfast on this day, I visited Tamagawa inside the Dai Tokyo Comprehensive Wholesale Center, which I hadn't been to in a while. The owner kindly offered to add salt to my ramen, which made me very happy (salt is not a regular menu item, only available on Fridays in December). Despite being the only one working, the friendly Ota-san chatted with me as I waited for my meal. First, I tried the soup. Ah, it has that gentle flavor typical of Tamagawa. It's a double soup made with pork back bone and seafood, with a salt kombu sauce that has a rounded and gentle flavor. The addition of scallion oil with green onions and garlic adds depth without being too heavy. The straight thin noodles from Mikawa-ya Seimen complement the soup well, with a good bite and a nice fragrance from the scallion oil. The toppings included char siu, seasoned egg, chopped green onions, menma, kaiware, and nori. The char siu comes in two varieties: rare and lightly seasoned. Both allow the flavors of the meat to shine through. The jelly-like seasoned egg has a sweet yolk, and the sesame-flavored menma adds a nice texture. The chopped green onions and kaiware provide a pleasant contrast to the soup. They also provided white sesame seeds on the side, but I personally felt it wasn't necessary as it overpowered the gentle salt soup. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Hachioji Ramen for 650 yen. Limited to 2 days on weekdays at 12:30. Visited with 2 people. The restaurant was full when we arrived. Ordered and received our ramen in about 10 minutes. The soup still had a delicious aroma of seafood and lard, just like Hachioji Ramen always does. The thin noodles from Mikawa-ya were great at soaking up the soup. Toppings included two slices of rare pork shoulder chashu, thick menma, seaweed, and plenty of finely chopped onions (lol). It was delicious! We originally came to try the limited-time autumn special of Nameko Niboshi, but we couldn't resist the 2-day limited Hachioji Ramen (lol).
