I couldn't forget the taste from my last visit, so I decided to revisit while taking a drive. This time, I added onions to my Hachioji ramen. The soup was light, the noodles were slightly thin, and the sweetness from the onions made it perfect. I've become a fan of Hachioji ramen. I wonder where I should go next time?

I went shopping for vegetables and other items at a roadside station and had lunch at the food court. While many people were eating soba noodles, I came across a menu item called Hachioji Napolitan and decided to try it. I started with a salad, which included shredded cabbage, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and potato salad. The cabbage had French dressing on it and the salad was delicious. The noodles in the Napolitan dish were thick and chewy, coated in plenty of tomato ketchup. The dish also contained sautéed wiener sausages, bell peppers, mushrooms, and finely chopped onions, which added a nice crunchy texture. I opted for a soft-boiled egg on top, but unfortunately, it was closer to fully cooked and didn't have a runny yolk. I added some chili oil for extra flavor, which made it even more enjoyable. It was like a fusion of Napoli and Sichuan flavors. Overall, it was delicious, and I even thought about getting it for takeout to enjoy with wine or beer. I had a great meal and will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

On the way back from Senon no Yu on August 13th, I took a detour as recommended by a fellow reviewer and stopped by the Michi-no-Eki Hachioji Takayama. It was a busy afternoon on a holiday, with a 10-minute wait to enter the parking lot! First, I purchased grapes from Yamanashi Prefecture. Although there were also large Shine Muscat grapes directly delivered from Yamanashi in the morning, they were in the 3000 yen range, so I couldn't afford them. Therefore, I decided to try a new variety called Satoru Red Ball for 600 yen including tax. Satoru Red Ball (formerly Golby) from Yamanashi Prefecture has relatively firm flesh, but not too hard, very juicy with high sugar content reaching around 20 degrees, and a strong sweetness with little acidity. When I tried it at the store, the flesh was firm and not as sweet as described, but with little acidity making it easy to eat. It's best not to eat the skin as it is tough. It's not as juicy as Kyoho grapes, but it has a good balance. It can be considered a grape that tastes like a grape. Rating: 3.3. The cost performance index is 1.13, which is decent at 680 yen/600 yen. It's nice to be able to buy grape varieties here that are not easily found in supermarkets! I regret not buying the Shine Muscat after all. Thank you for the meal!

In Tokyo, there is a unique Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) in Hachioji that offers local vegetables, meat, flowers, and homemade side dishes by local mothers. There is also a food court and a Japanese cafe. Don't miss the delicious gelato made with milk from the MO-MO Hachioji Ranch.

I looked around the specialty product sales corner and purchased cheese miso pickles made by Mogumogu Farm in Hachioji City. While regular items are sold in square packages with a moderate amount, this product, labeled as "B-grade" with cut ends, was priced at 430 yen. The cheese used in the product is made from fresh milk from the Isosuna Ranch in Hachioji City, but I wonder what kind of cheese it is. I can usually imagine the taste of mozzarella or cream cheese, but this one was extremely salty and salty. I have tried various cheese miso pickles before, but this one was overwhelmingly salty. I intended to eat it as a snack, but it was too salty. I tried mixing it with hot boiled potatoes instead of salt, but the flavor of the potatoes overpowered it. I have tried making it myself at home, and I usually marinate it in miso mixed with mirin. It seems like they marinate it only in miso, which must be high in salt content. It would be perfect for those who enjoy spicy food. Thank you for the meal.

On weekends, the road station Hachioji Takayama, where the parking lot is always crowded, went on a drive and shopping with friends. We bought various local products from Hachioji such as strawberries, vegetables, and bread. Another highlight was Hachioji ramen and soba noodles. They are really affordable and delicious here. We ordered Hachioji ramen, soba noodles with tempura for three people. The Hachioji ramen was light and delicious, with a large slice of chashu pork, and the finely chopped onions were a perfect match. The soba noodles were smooth and the dipping sauce was to my liking. Hachioji ramen costs 750 yen and soba noodles with tempura costs 980 yen, so it's a great value and easy to drop by. Thank you for the meal.

Visit Time Tabel: 3.21 This is the only "Michi no Eki" (roadside station) in Tokyo, located near Hachioji Interchange, so it is best to visit by car. It is a 10-minute taxi ride from JR Hachioji or Keio Hachioji, or a 2,465m walk from Komiyama Station, making it difficult to reach on foot for those not in the neighborhood. There is a large parking lot on the premises, where we parked for free. Inside the roadside station, it looks like a supermarket at first glance, with locally grown vegetables, prepared foods, honey, snacks, and fruits being sold. Near the entrance, there was a mobile sales booth selling peanut butter and peanuts. The three main items we came for this time, which were also featured on TV, are as follows: Apart from the steamed buns sold at the store, you can purchase items from the shop starting at 9:00 am, but if you go too early, the lineup for items like gelato and freshly made rice cakes may be limited. Shop: - Hachioji Ramen: A nostalgic soy sauce flavor with plenty of chopped onions, and thin straight noodles. It's light enough to eat even in the morning. - Spicy Mochi: A simple taste of spicy daikon radish and soy sauce, with bite-sized soft mochi pieces. Contains 4-5 pieces. Vegetable section: - Sesame Steamed Buns: I bought one, froze it at home, then microwaved it at 600 watts for 30-45 seconds before eating. The outer layer is a soft and gentle dough with a sweet wheat flavor and aroma, filled with black sesame seeds and granulated sugar rubbed into the skin. When you chew, it has a crunchy texture, and some might say it feels like eating sand, but it's a rustic handmade steamed bun that I enjoyed. I found it intriguing that the granulated sugar did not melt even when warmed, but it was delicious. I also recommend adding salted butter inside after warming it at home. I also purchased Salvia (also known as Baby Kiwi) and Ripe Chestnuts. There were many items that are not easily found in the city center, and it was interesting to see a variety of products available at reasonable prices. It might be worth visiting once for some interesting conversation starters. [Business Hours] 9:00-21:00 (varies by store) [Regular Holiday] Open every day

I sometimes enjoy looking at real estate flyers that are occasionally in the mailbox. I visited the only Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) in Tokyo for the first time! The parking lot wasn't very spacious, so even on a weekday, I had to wait in line to park the car. If it was a local Michi-no-Eki, this wouldn't have happened, so I was a bit careless. I bought some green onions, drinkable yogurt, kimchi, and seaweed with miso flavor. My staple food is noodles, so green onions are a must-have for me. I put green onions on soba, ramen, udon, spaghetti... anything! The green onions I bought were called "Shiodome Okunegi," and they were sweet without any spiciness, which was perfect for me since I don't like spicy green onions. The drinkable yogurt I got was from Tokyo Milk Factory Pure in Machida City. It was light and easy to drink, with a refreshing sweetness. It's recommended for those who don't like thick yogurt. The kimchi I bought was from Kondo Foods in Mizuho Town. It had a balanced spiciness and a hint of acidity, making it easy to eat. Lastly, the seaweed with miso flavor was from Yamamoto Noriten in Nihonbashi. It had small grains of miso sprinkled on the surface, giving it a similar taste to the bottled "negimiso" often served as a side dish with rice.

This year's Golden Week. May 5th is Children's Day. Our children are already grown up, so my husband and I went out for a day trip. Here is our schedule: Hachioji Castle - Takayama Castle - Michi-no-Eki Hachioji Takayama - Tama-sakai Natural Hot Spring Morinosa. For more details, please check out my blog. Lunch was at Michi-no-Eki Hachioji Takayama. It is the only Michi-no-Eki in Tokyo. We had lunch at the food court. I wanted to try Hachioji Ramen. Hachioji Ramen for 700 yen. A reasonable price. It had plenty of finely chopped onions, which is a characteristic of Hachioji Ramen. The noodles were straight, the chashu was thinly sliced, and it also had naruto, menma, and seaweed. The soy sauce-based soup had a comforting taste. My husband had the Tonkatsu O-hitsu set for 980 yen. The soba was cold! It was so cold that it was almost painful for my sensitive teeth! However, the soba wasn't hard, and I enjoyed it even though I wasn't expecting much. The tonkatsu had a rich flavor. For dessert, we had the special soft serve ice cream for 300 yen. Unfortunately, I couldn't take any photos inside the Michi-no-Eki as photography was prohibited.

The roadside station here not only offers meals, but also has a great selection of gelato♡ In the end, I ended up getting soft serve instead of gelato, but it had a rich flavor (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) There are terrace seats available, so I was able to enjoy it leisurely! How about some sweets during your journey? Thank you for the meal (*^▽^*)

I had "Hachioji Ramen" and "Onion Rice" at the food court of Hachioji Takayama Road Station. Hachioji Ramen is characterized by chopped onions in the toppings, which adds a sweet flavor to the soup, making it easy to drink. The "Onion Rice" is simply seasoned with chopped onions and egg yolk, but I really liked it! I tried adding a little bit of ramen soup to the rice halfway through, and it turned out to be a delightful flavor combination!

I visited on Saturday evening. My purpose was not vegetables or local souvenirs, but gelato! There was gelato in the back of the store. It was already late in the day, so popular flavors were running out. Since I had gelato earlier at another shop, I chose a single scoop of Passion Milk. It was delicious! The milk was sweet and refreshing, with the alluring taste and aroma of passion fruit. When you bite into the seeds, there's a tangy kick! It was cold outside, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal!

I visited Michi-no-Eki Hachioji Takayama. It was on our way back from a barbecue at Akigawa Gorge. They were selling vegetables and snacks harvested in Hachioji. I tried their milk soft serve ice cream. It was rich but not too heavy, and it melted in my mouth. It was very delicious. I want to go back and have it again.

I had lunch at the only Michi-no-Eki in Tokyo while shopping. I tried the Hachioji Napoletana and Hachioji Don. The Napoletana had finely chopped onions on top, which seems to be a signature of Hachioji dishes. The noodles were quite chewy. Even though raw onions were on top, they didn't taste too raw when mixed in. The onion don was made with raw onions, bonito flakes, soy sauce, and egg. This was a great find as a new B-class dish.

◇Hachioji Takiyama Michi-no-Eki is said to be the only Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) in Tokyo. I've never seen a Michi-no-Eki in Tokyo before, so this is definitely a spot worth visiting! Inside the Michi-no-Eki, they were selling local vegetables and Hachioji's local gourmet food. I found a food court and decided to stop by as I was feeling a bit hungry. ◇Vegetable Dining Hachinoumai There were gelato shops and cafes, but I opted for a food shop as I was feeling peckish. As I looked at the menu, something caught my eye! Hmmm... I know about Hachioji Ramen, but what is "Hachioji Neapolitan"?! Q: Hachioji Neapolitan is characterized by using chopped onions and Hachioji-produced ingredients. I have to try this! ◇Menu ● Lactic Acid Bacteria Cold Ramen 850 yen ● Hachioji Ramen 670 yen ● Spicy Green Onion Soy Sauce Ramen 830 yen ● Vegetable Champon 790 yen ● Earth Tomato Curry 900 yen ● Hachioji Neapolitan 800 yen They have the reliable Hachioji Ramen and the intriguing Lactic Acid Bacteria Cold Ramen, but... >> I'm really curious about the Neapolitan << ◇Hachioji Neapolitan (800 yen) I immediately ordered it! Plenty of chopped onions ♥ The flavor of tomatoes also spreads The noodles have a soft and tender texture! The tomato x ketchup sauce is rich and flavorful. It is filled with broccoli, eggplant, and tomatoes, making it colorful. ◇If you want to change the taste by adding powdered cheese, add a mild powdered cheese ♥ The noodles are soft, so it feels like eating a light pasta! A Neapolitan with plenty of vegetables, characterized by the sweet and sour flavor of tomatoes. Furthermore... ◇Onion Rice (230 yen) It may be a bit extreme to add carbohydrates to carbohydrates, but the visual of this dish is so appealing, right?! This dish is filled with plenty of chopped onions, representing Hachioji. The crispy onions are soaked in a refreshing broth similar to noodle soup. Under the onions, there is also bonito flakes! The sweet onions, when mixed with the rich egg, create a luxurious TKG. The sweet onions give the whole dish a refreshing taste. I think I'm hooked on chopped onions! Thank you for the feast!

This is a restaurant located inside the Michi-no-Eki Hachioji Takiyama in Japan. I decided to stop by for lunch as I was passing by. I was unsure of what to order, but I ended up trying the Takiyama Udon, which seemed popular with the previous customer. I believe the Takiyama refers to the vegetables in the dipping sauce, which I think were locally sourced from Hachioji. The vegetables included eggplant and green onions. The broth had a soy sauce flavor. The udon noodles were slightly thinner and had a smooth texture. Despite the appearance, I ended up feeling quite full. The Napoletana and curry rice also looked delicious, so I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

The only Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) in Tokyo. Despite it being a weekday during the pandemic, cars keep coming in and the spacious parking lot is quite full. They have local vegetables as well as other items, although they are not particularly cheap, the produce feels fresh. There is a self-service corner where you can grab a light meal. Here they serve the famous "Hachioji Ramen"! It features finely chopped onions and has a clear, refreshing soup that was delicious. I couldn't resist and ended up finishing the soup completely. At 670 yen, it was a great value for money.

In December 2019, I couldn't decide between gelato and soft serve for dessert, so I ended up getting both. The gelato flavors I chose were peanut and tiramisu, and the peanut flavor was rich and delicious. The soft serve had a creamy milk flavor that was also delicious. I definitely want to come back here to have both gelato and soft serve again.

Social welfare support team Not supporting activities is more fake than doing good. Hello, I'm Chi, the "hypocrite". As I walked along the aisle towards the back from the main entrance, I came across a shelf with bread displayed. It turned out to be bread made at multiple workshops in Hachioji City. I thought I recognized it, so I decided to buy it. The "Bacon Epi" is a moist and soft bread, with a good flavor.

I visited in October 2019 after having soba for lunch. Last time I had gelato, so this time I tried the milk soft serve. After one bite, I was pleasantly surprised by the intense milk flavor. Both the gelato and soft serve are delicious, so I'm not sure which one to choose next time.
