I went to a ramen bar and izakaya in Meguro-ku, Tokyo called "Sanack" after enjoying delicious sushi and drinks at Kanataro in Mishuku. I was quite drunk, so I decided to walk to Ikejiri Ohashi to sober up a bit, and then got off at Gakugeidaigaku Station. The ramen bar and izakaya were on the second floor of a building where I had reviewed a ramen shop called Takaban before. The atmosphere was mature and a bit mysterious, and the owner, Leader Takako, a former gravure idol, welcomed me with a smile and drinks. We started with a toast with draft beer, followed by potato shochu on the rocks. The conversation with Leader Takako was so enjoyable that I ended up drinking more than I should have. Luckily, there were no other customers at that time, so I got to try the ramen made by Leader Takako, which was a light and refreshing salt soy sauce ramen known as "Oppai Ramen" (Boob Ramen). It had plenty of green onions, seaweed, and grated yam, with a delicious salt broth flavored with bonito. The thin noodles paired perfectly with the soup. I also added lime juice, yuzu pepper, and katsuobushi oil for extra flavor. As I enjoyed the delicious "Oppai Ramen," more customers arrived, and the place quickly filled up with people of all ages enjoying drinks. It was a fun and lively atmosphere, with everyone having a great time. The "Oppai Ramen," which even impressed famous ramen critics, is available for order along with drinks, but availability depends on the situation in the restaurant, so it's best to arrive early. I had a fantastic time at this happy place and look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Since moving to Gakugei University, I've been exploring by hopping from one bar to another. However, I ended up giving up on hopping after having a couple of drinks at this place. The unique atmosphere and interesting people, including the staff and regulars, made it hard to leave. While the place may not be for everyone due to its quirks, I found it to be a welcoming and enjoyable spot.

This is a bar near Gakugei-daigaku Station. I originally planned to have ramen, but they were out that day. Instead, I enjoyed some snack chips and ramen-flavored snacks, along with a lemon sour. I had a fun time chatting with the owner, who is also a hostess. It was a night filled with laughter. It was nice.

Finally visited Ramen BAR @ Gakugeidaigaku! Ramen lover alert! The stylish owner runs the shop alone and it has been open in Gakugeidaigaku for 5 years. It has been featured on TV occasionally, so I've always wanted to go. The shop is located on the second floor above a ramen shop called "Takaban" on the east side. When we opened the door and said we were a group of 3, we were asked if ramen was okay since they had run out. As soon as I made eye contact with the owner, I thought, "I want to drink here!" and we entered! The regulars at the counter seats seemed to be enjoying themselves. The welcoming atmosphere of the shop is great for newcomers! We sat at the counter, ordered beer, and the prices were explained clearly. The owner has a charming husky voice with a strong Osaka dialect! I want to become a regular here! I definitely want to go back.

Today, we had a party in Gakugeidaigaku, so I finally got to visit the "Oppai" Ramen shop that I've been wanting to go to for a while! The shop is run by a former gravure idol named Takako, and although they do serve ramen, it's actually a ramen "BAR" where customers who only want ramen are not welcome – in fact, they prefer not to make ramen if possible (laughs). I heard about this place during a previous drinking party at a different location, where one of the people there mentioned that they were a regular at this shop, so they made a reservation for us. The shop has irregular opening hours, so there are often times when they are closed. Interestingly, on this day, due to an unexpected issue with the gas stove, we couldn't have the ramen after all. However, I must say that the food here is not the main attraction – it's the charismatic "leader", Takako, who captivates people. Despite being a bit bold, her cute character is what draws people in. I only had non-alcoholic drinks and snacked on the appetizers, but I can't wait to go back again. The shop's personal charm is truly wonderful.

I came to a ramen bar called "Oppai Bar" at Gakugei University. It's a wonderful restaurant, but I can't really give it a rating. It's located on the second floor of Banpaiya, and it may not stand out much, but it's actually an amazing place. We were served snacks like squid, persimmon seeds, and Umaibo. Unfortunately, they couldn't cook hot dishes that day due to a gas issue, so I couldn't try their ramen. I only had the snacks, but I had a great time. The draft beer available is Heartland, and they have a variety of bottled beers as well. I had a Heartland draft for my first drink. There are no sake or liqueurs available due to the owner's preferences. The character of the owner, Kichi, is fantastic, and I had a really enjoyable time. Before I knew it, 5 hours had passed. Tonight, I kept drinking green tea highballs just like Kichi. It's a much stronger drink than what you would find at a typical izakaya. It's more like a mega shochu on the rocks with a green tea flavor. The decorations throughout the restaurant were all impactful. Seeing is believing. It's best to visit and see for yourself to confirm.

A friend wanted to go to a ramen bar called "Oppai Ramen," owned by former gravure idol Takako Hayakawa. Unfortunately, on the day of the visit, there was an incident that prevented them from serving ramen, so they only had drinks available. The bar does not allow orders of ramen only, especially when it's busy. It's a lucky treat if they can make ramen for you right before the last train. The selection of drinks is impressive, including sparkling drinks and recommended whiskies. The atmosphere inside the bar is filled with Takako's gravure photos and provocative decor. The restroom is also impressive. Offering a drink to Takako will make her happy. They plan to visit again.

◆Boob Ramen trial tasting - End-of-year party in East Tokyo with 4 bowls of ramen finished, followed by a Boob Ramen event ramen tasting. There's no way the ramen supervised by the wise trio of Yamamoto from "Fuyugare", Rennuma from "Gashara", and Miyata from "Hyakumen" wouldn't be delicious. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a year-end party until morning. ⚫︎Boob Ramen (Takanban, Meguro-ku) Collaboration ramen by Fuyugare x Hyakumen x Gashara ◾︎ Food Beast Maro http://instagram.com/menterromaro/ https://ameblo.jp/korinai-menmen/

I was planning to eat ramen while also having a drink, but thanks to Takachan's scheme, I couldn't eat ramen... I ended up just drinking a ton of beer.

I couldn't get ramen made this time either. ◾︎ Food Beast Maro http://instagram.com/menterromaro/ https://ameblo.jp/korinai-menmen/

This is the famous shop that used to be in Meguro-Honcho in Musashikoyama, commonly known as "Oppai Ramen" (Boob Ramen). The leader, Takako-san (that's how you should address her), used to be a gravure idol. The rule is that you must not order ramen. Takako-san always wears clothes that emphasize her ample chest and she usually has a cucumber-shaped pen in her cleavage. Don't worry, the fact that it's listed on Tabelog means it's a legitimate bar. I have visited many times.

Multiple servings of sansho pepper are generously used in a well-balanced manner, creating a tingling sensation that is irresistible for those who enjoy numbing flavors!

I went to a bar called "Oppai Ramen" after having a drink at an izakaya near Gakugeidaigaku Station with my friend. The place had a snack bar vibe, and the owner, who used to be a gravure idol, was running the place. I asked her about the origin of the name "Oppai Ramen," and she explained that it was a combination of her "oppai" (breasts) from her gravure days and her homemade ramen. I waited a long time for the ramen to arrive, and when I asked about it, she simply said it was because she felt like it. After waiting for 30 minutes, the ramen finally arrived, and it was actually quite delicious. It was my first time at a snack bar, and as I headed home, I couldn't help but reflect on the unique experience. Thank you for the meal.

What kind of place is this? It's awesome.

The food was delicious!

On July 21st (Friday), Ramen Bar Snack, an izakaya located in Gakugeidaigaku, offered a unique dish called "Oppai Ramen (tentative name)" for an unknown price. I arrived at the restaurant after fasting for a whole day, which made me feel tipsy due to the empty stomach. The place was chaotic, but I was used to such situations. I witnessed the legendary draining technique (though I forgot to take a picture). Apparently, they haven't been serving ramen regularly recently, but on this day, an international guest was there, and I was lucky to try the "Oppai Ramen." The chef's innovative style involved going to buy green onions after taking the order, but it wasn't surprising considering the quirky atmosphere of the place. Despite my hazy memory, the ramen was genuinely delicious, with springy noodles and various flavor variations explained to me, although I couldn't remember all the details. I sincerely hope they serve ramen regularly because if they can make this, it's worth coming back for. I passed on the chaotic scene to an acquaintance and left just before closing time. Thank you, Takako-san, for the meal!

While drinking at Banpaiya, I heard an interesting story from the regular customer next to me. Apparently, there is a BAR run by a former gravure idol above Banpaiya. Could it be the "Oppai Ramen" that used to be in Musashi-Koyama long ago!? I thought to myself. And indeed, it was. It moved here two years ago. I visited a few times and finally managed to peek in when it was not too crowded. The place has a counter and a few table seats, and it was bustling. There was only one lady working there. She was making drinks, chatting with regular customers, and working efficiently. When I called her "Mama," she corrected me saying, "I'm not Mama, I'm Takako!" and asked me to call her by her name. She was friendly even to us newcomers. She had a lively and straightforward attitude with a bit of Kansai dialect. There were snacks and Umaibo (a type of corn snack) on the table for free. When I ordered a highball, she asked, "Do you want it strong?" and indeed, it was a seriously strong highball. Her hospitality was amazing. I wanted to try the ramen, but Takako was busy and couldn't make it in time for my last train, so I had to give up. It was a relaxed and incredibly fun place. I will definitely come back again. Thank you so much.

On October 31, 2015, after a pre-drink at Suzuran, Satoko and I moved to the main drinking spot by train. We met up with Asaka and Kagechi at Ramen BAR Snack, a bar known as "Boobs Ramen". We stuck with beer the whole time. The counter had TENGA in the background, which was quite amusing. We had coriander cold tofu, following the coriander dishes at Yamaguchi and Suzuran earlier that day. It's funny how my taste has changed over the years. I really wanted to have some dumplings too, but oh well. Satoko, Asaka, and I said our goodbyes around 10 pm, and I continued drinking with Kagechi. Our leader, who was down earlier, made a comeback, and things got a bit wild. I won't go into details here, check out my blog for that. In the end, we didn't even eat ramen. I'll have to revisit to actually have some ramen and drinks. And that's how the first day of October 31 ended.

Everyone! It's Curry Man! After enjoying delicious okonomiyaki and a machine-gun sermon at "Okonomiyaki Fukutake," ranked 2nd in the nationwide Okonomiyaki ranking on Tabelog, I headed out to eat ramen! A short distance from Gakugeidaigaku Station, up a narrow staircase in a small building, I found... Ramen BAR Snack, an izakaya!!! A strange name, right! But this place is famous by its nickname, "Oppai Ramen"! Clearly a VIP treatment for Ramen Sensei. The shelves were adorned with a small shrine. The self-service dagashi snacks require you to pay properly! Is this place about breasts or ramen? The answer is... We are a bar! No ramen only! It can get crowded and there are days when you can't eat, so be careful! So, cheers!!! Waiting for the ramen!! After a short wait, the legendary ramen arrived!!! I am truly happy about the ramen! This is the full view of the rumored Oppai Ramen!! Toppings include katsuobushi oil, yuzu pepper, fried egg, and more. Add them little by little to enjoy the change in flavor! The basic ramen has a light salt and soy sauce flavor with aonori and tororo kombu! The medium-thick noodles slide in smoothly! The taste of the sea is deep and rich! Perfect after drinking!! Try various toppings!! Especially the yuzu pepper, which according to the owner Takako Hayakawa, is "unnecessarily expensive," but truly flavorful! And so, as the night deepens, it comes to an end! Thank you for the meal!!
