I want to declare that I was impressed by ordering a large serving of kotteri at Tenka Ichi after a long time, but the noodles seemed slightly undercooked, making it difficult to eat. It was disappointing. I visited during the busy lunch hours, so I hope for a more careful cooking operation. The fried rice was still delicious, so I will revisit with high expectations.

Recently, there is a huge boom in Tenya (tempura rice bowl) on YouTube, with various talents sharing their own toppings and ways of eating. After watching these videos, I felt like going there. I ordered mine with lots of garlic chives, of course with extra rich broth. According to YouTube, at the Nakano branch, you can add more broth to make it richer as you eat. The garlic chives not only add flavor but also a nice texture. The soup's appearance changes as you eat. Junk food hooray!

I finally got to try the "Extra Rich MAX" ramen that has been a hot topic. The soup was thicker than the regular rich version, almost like a potage, but it wasn't overly heavy. It had a deep flavor profile that I enjoyed. However, I'm not sure if it's worth the extra 270 yen compared to the regular rich ramen. I think I prefer the regular rich version.

I went to my favorite Tenkaippin to slurp on their extra rich MAX ramen. The regular rich ramen is already very intense, but this one is on a whole other level. When I lifted the noodles, they were completely coated in the rich soup, showing how thick it was. The taste is based on the regular rich ramen but even more intense. The fried chicken was also delicious as always.

I tried the rumored extra rich MAX ramen during my long-awaited visit. I heard people saying it was too thick or too gloopy, but when I tried it, it didn't seem much different from a regular rich ramen. I felt like adding extra green onions was necessary. I considered getting the W version, but since I didn't know the true power of MAX, I decided to play it safe.

I have been to the Tenkaippin locations in Takadanobaba and the main store, and I didn't have high expectations for the Shibuya location because the Takadanobaba one wasn't delicious. However, the Shibuya store was extremely tasty. I had heard the chefs praise it on a TV show a while back, so I was curious about the Kotteri MAX, but I ended up ordering the regular Kotteri ramen. It's just inevitable that it might upset your stomach the next day...haha.

In the back of Shibuya Center Street (or is it now called Shibuya Basketball Street?), there is a place called Tenkaippin known for its thick ramen. At first, I thought, "Can I really drink this almost solid soup?" But before I knew it, I started visiting frequently. Although it has been a while since my last visit, back in my student days when I worked in Shibuya, I used to go there often. The thick broth and the rice on the side make a perfect combination. It is said that SUGIZO from LUNA SEA recommends eating here as a reward, and his character is well-established in this regard. His recommended way of eating is also featured on the menu, showing the attention to detail that can be seen both in music and here at Tenkaippin. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I stopped by the famous ramen shop "Tenka Ippin" that I used to frequent during my student days. I ordered the rich and flavorful ramen, and despite its appearance, both the noodles and rice were delicious. This unique taste is hard to replicate. It's a comforting meal for when you're tired or after a night of drinking. Sometimes you just crave this kind of ramen.

It's been a while since I craved something rich, so I stopped by here! The thick soup here goes beyond any rich soup I've had before, it's super rich MAX! The sticky soup clings to the noodles and it's so addictive! Adding rice at the end gives it a risotto-like feel too! Definitely try it if you get the chance!

I tried the "Extra Rich" ramen. Despite the high price of 1200 yen, I was a bit hesitant but gave in to my desire to try it. It was indeed thicker and richer than usual. However, I didn't feel like it was worth the price. Next time, I would prefer to have the regular rich ramen instead.

Sometimes I crave this taste. The rich soup is irresistible! I first went to the Imadegawa branch (located in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto) with a friend I met in university over thirty years ago. I still remember the impact of tasting it for the first time. I also used to visit the Honmachi branch in Kitashirakawa. Tonight, I visited the Shibuya branch. Delicious! Generous portions! I will definitely come back!

One of the unique ramen shops in the fiercely competitive Shibuya Center Street. The thick soup is more like a sauce than a soup. It's a fun experience to pour the soup over the fried rice that comes as a side dish. Please note that they only accept cash for payment, so be aware before entering.

The interior of the restaurant is spacious towards the back, and there was no wait during lunchtime on weekdays. There was also a solo female customer. Electronic money like Suica cannot be used. I ordered the rich ramen with seasoned boiled egg (1070 yen). Despite being rich, the flavor is not too heavy. The noodles are coated in the thick soup, to the point where you can't taste the noodles anymore. I regret not ordering it as a set. I think it would be enjoyable to dip white rice or fried chicken in the soup until the end.

After eating at Tenkaippin's main store for the first time over thirty years ago, I have lost count of how many times I have been back since then. Throughout all those visits, I have always ordered the rich soup. There have been various other options like light soup, thick soup, street food flavors, and so on, but I have always stuck with the rich soup. I'm sure many other Tenkaippin fans feel the same way. However, this time, I cheated for the first time. I knew that the Shibuya store had introduced a miso flavor, but I had been holding back. The tipping point was when I tried the rich miso ramen called Yukikaze during a business trip to Sapporo with a colleague who is also a Tenkaippin fan. Right after slurping the soup, I thought to myself, "I wonder what miso ramen from Tenkaippin would taste like." So, I decided to go and find out at the Tenkaippin Shibuya store. My first act of cheating made me nervous. It was lunchtime, and I was hungry, so I ordered the miso ramen and rice set. The staff suggested that I could upgrade to a lunch set with an additional charge, so after some hesitation, I added the mentaiko rice set. Kyoto is known for its white miso culture, such as the traditional white miso-based zouni soup. I was imagining that the dish would come with white miso, but soon enough, it arrived. It had a slightly red hue. I took a sip of the soup. It was clearly red miso, with a hint of hachou miso-like aroma. Delicious. Even though there was spicy miso on the table at Tenkaippin, this miso flavor was clearly distinct. And of course, it paired perfectly with the rice. For those who usually go for the rich soup, I recommend giving the miso flavor a try. In the future, I will definitely stick with my usual rich soup, but I can't help but be drawn to the miso flavor, which may lead to a slippery slope.

The C lunch ramen and minced chicken rice set for 1000 yen is available until 3 pm. On Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was almost full, with many foreign customers. I managed to slip in and order. The saltiness of the ramen can be adjusted with the sauce, similar to sprinkling salt on grilled chicken, which is quite important. The rich soup paired with straight noodles was excellent. The minced chicken rice had a strong ginger flavor. The best way to enjoy the meal was to alternate between sipping the soup and eating the rice with a spoon.

When I first tried Tenkaippin ramen, I was surprised by the thick soup. The person who took me there said, "You'll be surprised, but strangely, you'll crave it sometimes." It's been years since then. I saw the restaurant, felt hungry, and found an empty seat inside, so I went in. They do have lighter soups, but here it's all about the rich one. Oh, this is it! The thick soup is not as heavy as you might think. It's easy to eat. Mmm, delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Located deep in the back of Shibuya Center-gai. Even further back from the koban (police box). The interior of the restaurant is long and seems to have a decent number of seats. It's mostly filled with solo diners, and even the counter is full. I always order the fried rice set meal for 1,140 yen, of course, extra rich. I've only ever had the rich option, but I don't want to try others and end up thinking, "I should've stuck with the rich one." The fried rice is simple but delicious. It goes well with the rich soup! I wish Tenten-ichi would open a branch near my nearest station. There's only Nichi-Hi-Ya around here. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first time at Tenkaippin in Shibuya Udagawacho. I ordered my usual Kimchi Ramen, thick and firm as always. For some reason, they served the kimchi on the side by default. The taste was consistently delicious. I was a bit nervous about the location being a bit sketchy, but the service and clientele were actually fine. Thank you for the meal!

It goes without saying, Ramen Tenkaippin is the best. It's reliable. Rich ramen with fried rice. Shibuya is crowded... It's been a while since I came, but oh, it's definitely Tenkaippin! I feel like having it once in a while. There are also many foreigners, and it's getting lively. Thank you for the meal.

On a holiday around 11:30, it was cloudy with a temperature of 10 degrees. There were several groups of customers before me. I ordered the B lunch set for 990 yen, which included a rich ramen and pickled vegetable rice. The long, thin straight noodles had a good bite to them, and they paired well with the rich soup. I usually add a spoonful of miso from the condiment set on the table, which makes it even more delicious. This restaurant is located near Shibuya Station and Don Quijote. At this time, the restaurant was about 70% full. It's a perfect dish to warm you up on a cold day from the inside out. Thank you for the meal.
