Today's recommended set menu is ¥950 at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda. The lunch set includes seafood tsukemen and meatball rice bowl. The lunch noodles are thin. The seafood dipping broth has a strong flavor with chashu, green onions, nori, sesame, etc. The rice bowl is ordered with half the amount of rice and today it was served with a sweet and sour sauce over meatballs. It was delicious. Without saying anything, sansho pepper was brought out and added a numbing sensation. Enjoyed the meal and drink completely. #tsukemen #Bishamonten #HinoCity #ramen #noodles #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #RamenClub #ramenstagram #ramenlover #rameninstagrammer #ramenloverwanted #ramenpatrol #japan #tokyo #japanesefood #ramen #ramennoodles

Today's recommended set for ¥950 at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda on Thursdays is salt tsukemen and mentaiko tamago don. I chose the thin noodles instead of the thick ones to save time. The dipping sauce had a strong garlic flavor, giving it an extra kick. Instead of chashu, there was chicken in the dish. The fluffy mentaiko egg with a refreshing touch of fresh tomato on top of the rice was a nice accent. Even though the rice portion was small, it was still a generous amount. I mixed the soup with the noodles and enjoyed every last drop. #tsukemen #Bishamonten #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #noodles #gourmet #menstagram #noodlelover #noodleenthusiast #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #ramenclub #noodlestagram #ramenaddict #ramenlover #rameninstagrammer #ramenlover #ramenpatrol #japan #tokyo #japanesefood #ramen #ramennoodles

Today's limited menu at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda included chilled Chinese noodles, but I decided on the chilled tantanmen for ¥1000. It had been a while since I last had it. The tantan soup was rich and not too spicy, with plenty of minced meat that added great flavor. The thin straight noodles, cooled with cold water, were also excellent. I enjoyed the option to customize the flavor with Sichuan pepper oil and shichimi spice. The dish was topped with Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, and cilantro, providing a satisfying vegetable mix. #Bishamonten #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #noodles #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #RamenClub #ramenaddict #ramenlover #rameninstagrammer #ramenpatrol #japan #tokyo #japanesefood #ramen #ramennoodles

Curry tsukemen and tomato and egg chili sauce bowl ¥950 at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda. Today's special is curry tsukemen and tomato and egg chili sauce bowl! The noodles for the curry tsukemen are thin, and the curry is spicier than usual, making it delicious. The bowl has fluffy eggs with chili sauce on top, giving it a sweet and spicy flavor. I mixed the curry with the bowl and enjoyed every last bit. #Bishamonten #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #ramenclub #ramenaddict #foodie #foodstagram #japanesefood #ramennoodles

I visited for the first time at 【Noodle・DINING Bishamonten】, a 7-minute walk from Toyoda Station North Exit. I checked the food log in advance and the lunch set looked delicious, so I visited, but it was past 1 pm on a weekday, so it seems that the lunch set was already over. This time, I ordered the 【Chashu Abura Soba (oil noodles)・Large】 for 1150 yen, which I was curious about. It was served after a 12-minute wait. Since it's oil noodles, you need to mix it well. There is no soup, the noodles are medium thick curly noodles with a strong wave, chewy and delicious when mixed with oil. Toppings include 3 slices of chashu, green onions, Korean seaweed, flavored egg, and egg yolk. The chashu is large, lightly seared, satisfying to eat, and delicious. Overall, you can fully enjoy the flavor and richness of The Abura Soba, but maybe you'll get a little tired in the second half because I ordered the large size? Also, in previous reviews, it said that there was soup with the oil noodles, so when I asked the owner, he said there was no soup. Probably, the husband and wife are running the business, and I was impressed by their kind and warm service. Thank you for the meal. Please continue to do your best. Next time, I will visit a little earlier to try the lunch set.

Today's recommended set for ¥650 at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda. The lunch set includes shoyu tsukemen with small noodles and a bowl of shirasu-don. The tsukemen broth was a bit salty, but when poured over the shirasu-don, it was delicious. The chashu in the broth was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I finished both the soup and noodles completely. #Bishamonten #tsukemen #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #ramenlover #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #ramenclub #noodlestagram #ramenenthusiast #ramenlover #rameninstagrammer #ramenlover #ramenpatrol #japan #tokyo #japanesefood #ramen #ramennoodles

I tried Bishamon yakisoba for the first time! Once you taste it, you'll understand how delicious it is! The seasoning has a garlic punch with ginger and oyster sauce, all made with the chef's love. It's simple but so tasty! I wonder if it's a limited-time item... If you come across it, I highly recommend it. It also comes with a side of fried rice. I'm stuffed, thank you for the delicious meal!

The owner of Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda, who had been on a break due to poor health, has returned. I was able to use a limited food ticket to order the Beef tendon dipping noodles. This time, the dish had a strong soy sauce flavor with daikon radish, burdock, and konjac, giving it a Japanese-style beef tendon stew taste. The noodles automatically came in a large portion. I mixed the soup and finished it all. It was very filling. #dippingnoodles #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #RamenClub #noodlelover #rameninstagrammer #ramenpatrol #japanesefood #ramennoodles

"Bishamonten" is a popular ramen shop in my hometown. It is located in Hino City, Tokyo, about a 7-minute walk from JR Chuo Line Toyoda Station North Exit. I have visited this place multiple times since it opened in 2006 and have posted several reviews on Tabelog. The last time I visited was at the end of December last year. Although it has been about six months, I recently went back to Bishamonten for the first time this year! The ramen at Bishamonten is always delicious, but the last time I had it (the signature chicken ramen, details in my previous post), I felt that the soup lacked flavor and the noodles were not firm enough, which bothered me. I was curious to see how it had changed since then. I visited on a Sunday around 1 pm, and the place was packed with a line of three people waiting outside. It was the busiest I had ever seen it, and I was delighted. After about a 10-minute wait, I was seated inside. The prices had increased by 50 yen for the egg rice topping. I didn't pay much attention to other changes, but I noticed a new staff member, which was memorable. The couple who had been running the shop for years seemed to have a new helper, which was heartwarming. I ordered the signature chicken ramen (salt) in a large size. [Impressions] It was incredibly delicious! Among all the chicken ramen I have ever had, this one was by far the best. I was amazed at how much it had improved in just six months! First, the soup. It was completely different from last time, as the intense flavor of the soup hit me like a bolt of lightning from the first sip, making me involuntarily exclaim in delight! It was seriously delicious. The taste hadn't changed much, but it had become much more "intense" in a good way, with a strong punch. It had the base flavors of chicken and seafood, a strong saltiness, the unique and distinctive flavor of Bishamonten, and a hint of sweetness. All of these elements had a much greater impact than anything I had tasted before. The refreshing aroma of yuzu in the intensely flavorful soup provided a soothing and delightful accent. Those who prefer milder flavors might find it a bit overwhelming, but I personally loved the rich and intense taste. Students with big appetites would probably love it. The noodles had undergone a drastic transformation and were the best I had ever had. The previous noodles had a chewy texture that emphasized the wheat flavor, and I enjoyed the texture more than the taste. However, the noodles I had this time were soft and had a firm chewiness, providing a smooth slurping experience that allowed me to fully appreciate the wheat flavor and subtle sweetness. The perfect balance between this "intense" soup and noodles was truly impressive and left me feeling moved. The toppings were mostly the same, but for some reason, the flavor of the seasoned egg yolk seemed richer and more intense than last time. Also, the bamboo shoot had a crunchier texture. It had definitely become more delicious! The egg rice topping had increased in price, but it came with a generous amount of rice, a raw egg, soy sauce, and sprinkles (bonito flakes?). It was a delightful addition and felt like a great deal. The raw egg was from Oku-Kuji. Mixing the raw egg and soy sauce, pouring it over the rice, and adding sprinkles created an incredibly delicious combination. Without a doubt, a hidden gem in the Tokyo-Tama region and a source of local pride. I'm glad I visited again after six months. I have eaten many different types of ramen, but Bishamonten's ramen is truly unique. It offers a taste that you can't find anywhere else. A must-try!"

Today, it was scorching hot like a midsummer day, so I wanted to have some chilled ramen, but they didn't have it. Instead, I opted for the Tsukemen Shirasu Don set for 950 yen on the lunch menu, and it was delicious. The broth was spicy and the noodles were thin and easy to eat. I poured it over the shirasu don and finished every last bite!

7 minutes walk from JR Chuo Line Toyota Station. Exit the north exit rotary and head north on Ekimae Street. Turn left at the Tamahiradai Koubanmae Signal after Aeon Mall Tamahiramori, and the restaurant is on the right side about 50 meters ahead. There are many restaurants around this area, even though it is a bit far from the station. Could this be a remnant of the first New Town development in Japan, the Tamahiradai housing complex? The development of the Tamahiradai housing complex began in 1958, and it seems that there were Isetan and Marui in front of Toyota Station, so it was probably like Tamacenter Station. Now, Aeon Mall seems to be dominating the area. When searching for ramen restaurants around Toyota Station on Tabelog or Google Maps, this "Men・DINING Bishamonten" comes up as one of the top results. The name suggests that they may serve various types of alcohol at night, but they only open for lunch. It seems they used to be open until late at night. I visited around 13:10. There was one customer before me and two customers after me. First, I purchased a ticket from the vending machine. The menu includes chicken soba, ramen, tsukemen, abura soba, and many other options. There seems to be a recommended set for lunch, but it was not displayed on that day. Based on other reviews and blogs, chicken soba seems to be popular, but I was intrigued by the Aosa Ramen, so I ended up choosing that. The interior has a counter facing the kitchen and another counter along the wall. The male owner and a lady, possibly his wife, were in the kitchen. The Aosa Ramen was served in about 5 minutes. It came in a stainless bowl with clear chicken broth, a lot of seaweed, medium-thin curly noodles, two slices of pork shoulder chashu, half a seasoned boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and mizuna. The soup was a clear chicken broth with a strong chicken flavor, but it was overshadowed by the abundant seaweed aroma... Also, the seaweed seemed to be rehydrated with water, so it was a bit watery. Hmm, maybe I should have stuck with the normal chicken soba? The noodles were slightly soft and had a good texture that absorbed the soup well. However, due to the reasons mentioned earlier, the richness of the soup was somewhat muted, so the benefits were not fully utilized. The chashu had a good meaty texture and was well seasoned, so it was quite delicious. Despite feeling like I made a slightly wrong menu choice, I finished the noodles, broth, and toppings cleanly. I would like to try the chicken soba for a rematch on my next visit.

"Hormone oil soba with mini rice set for ¥1000 at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyota. Today's recommended set was not available, so I ordered the limited shirunashi. It's best to dip the thick noodles in the soup before mixing them like tsukemen. There's a lot of hormone in it, which makes me want to drink sake, but I resisted. The combination of hormone and sauce with rice is incredibly delicious."

Today's recommended set at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda is priced at ¥950. It includes soy sauce ramen and ham cutlet rice bowl. The soy sauce soup is sweet with a seafood broth, and the thin straight noodles are chewy and delicious. Toppings include chashu pork, white negi (green onions), menma bamboo shoots, and seaweed. The rice bowl comes with ham cutlet, potato salad, and cabbage topped with Worcestershire sauce. Overall, it was very satisfying, but I ended up feeling quite full afterwards. #Bishamonten #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #noodles #gourmet #ramenstagram #noodlelover #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #RamenClub #noodlestagram #ramenenthusiast #ramenlover #rameninsta #ramenpatrol #japan #tokyo #japanesefood #ramen #ramennoodles

Located a 3-minute walk from Toyoda Station on the Chuo Line, on the west side of Aeon Mall Tama-Tsudohara across the main street, you'll find Bishamonten. Purchase the recommended Chicken Ramen (Salt) for 750 yen at the top left corner of the ticket machine right inside the entrance of this restaurant. Once you try this chicken ramen, you won't be able to stop. It's really delicious. It comes with bamboo shoots, seaweed, flavored egg, and the amazing chicken ham. The smoky aroma of the chicken ham is irresistibly delicious. And the reddish meat in the middle is incredibly tasty. You'll understand what kind of meat it is once you taste it. You'll want to have a drink with this, but unfortunately, chicken ham is not available as a separate item on the menu. The soup is sprinkled with yuzu, and you can feel the owner's dedication to the aroma and flavor in this masterpiece. Of course, I finished every drop of the soup! Thank you for the meal.

Mentaiko cheese oil soba (with extra rice) ¥1000 at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda. I had lunch on a Friday. It had been a while since I last visited, and I was able to grab the last limited lunch special. The usual cheese oil soba with plenty of mentaiko added for a richer flavor. The sauce was infused with mentaiko, creating a fusion of sea and mountain flavors that coated the noodles. I added a lot of black pepper, which paired very well. The soup had a stronger soy sauce taste than usual but was still refreshing. I poured mentaiko over the rice and finished every last bit. Wishing the owner a speedy recovery from their injury. #Bishamonten #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #RamenClub #ramenenthusiast #ramenlover #ramenpatrol #japanesefood #ramennoodles

Second visit to Bishamonten. I ordered the Aosa Ramen (salt) for 900 yen, after enjoying the Chicken Ramen (salt) last time. It was served in a stainless steel bowl. The chicken-based soup was light but flavorful, with a hint of Aosa seaweed aroma adding richness. The medium-thin noodles were cooked slightly soft, which paired well with the soup. I realized after finishing it in a hurry that I had ordered salt but received soy sauce instead. Oh well, it was delicious anyway.

Today's recommended set for ¥950 at Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyoda. I asked for a smaller portion, but what arrived was a set with both curry and ramen. I chose the salt ramen, expecting a chicken broth, but it turned out to be surprisingly light. The curry was watery but delicious. Pouring the soup over the noodles made it even more tasty. It reminded me of the set they used to serve when they first opened. Needless to say, I was completely stuffed afterwards and couldn't move. #Bishamonten #HinoCity #Tokyo #ramen #noodles #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #ramenclub #foodstagram #ramenaddict #ramenlife #foodie #foodphotography #japanesefood #japanesecuisine #ramenreview

Happy New Year everyone! I hope to continue trying various types of ramen this year, so thank you in advance for your support. Today, I want to share my review of a popular ramen shop in my hometown called "Bishamonten." I have visited this shop many times since it first opened, and I have posted several reviews on Tabelog (please check out my past reviews). The last ramen I had in the previous year was the chicken ramen (salt flavor) from Bishamonten. It's always a tough decision to choose the last ramen of the year, but I decided to go with this shop that holds a special place in my heart! [Review] As expected, it was delicious. For more detailed taste impressions, please refer to my past reviews. However, there were a few things that caught my attention this time... The flavor of the soup felt a bit weak, possibly due to ordering extra noodles (I had extra noodles last time as well). I also couldn't feel the chewiness in the noodles. It may have been just that day, but I felt that the flavor of the soup was slightly weaker than usual, which was a bit disappointing. Also, I personally like soft noodles, but the chewy texture that I used to enjoy in the noodles seemed to have almost disappeared, which was also disappointing. I noticed that the noodles had become softer since my last visit, and I thought it was good, but this time, it bothered me too much. I want to continue being honest in my reviews this year. Taste preferences vary among individuals, so please take my review as a reference only.

Char siu oil soba for 1050 yen. I finished with the default menu that I eat the most, even though there was a limited edition tantanmen for lunch. Full belly. #Bishamonten #Shirunashi #Hino City #Tokyo #Ramen #Gourmet #Noodlestagram #Noodlelover #NoodleLover #TokyoRamenMania #RamenClub #Noodlestagram #RamenLover #RamenInstagrammer #Want to connect with people who love ramen #RamenPatrol #Japan #Tokyo #JapaneseFood #Ramen #RamenNoodles

The owner of Men Dining Bishamonten in Toyota had been on a break due to health issues, but has now reopened. They have a new limited menu item, the Beef Motsu Tsukemen for ¥1000. The dipping sauce is rich with miso flavor and filled with chewy beef motsu. It pairs well with the Yagen Hori Shichimi spice blend. It was delicious and I finished every last drop. #HinoCity #Bishamonten #tsukemen #Tokyo #ramen #noodles #gourmet #noodlestagram #noodlelover #ramenlover #TokyoRamenMania #RamenClub #ramenenthusiast #ramenpatrol #Japanesefood #ramennoodles #foodie
