I love the way they serve it. If I could ask for thicker noodles, it would be even closer to okonomiyaki, I think. Actually, I had another purpose for going to this Ito Yokado, but after finishing my shopping, it was dinner time so I decided to check out the food court. I was browsing the menu in front of a store, not sure what to get, when I spotted "Okonomiyaki-style plate udon" at Ringer Hut. I was intrigued by how it might differ from regular plate udon, so I ordered it at the counter. The visual presentation is quite appealing. With sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and seaweed, the plate udon looks just like okonomiyaki. The taste is a mix of the sweet and sour sauce and mayonnaise with the slightly sweet udon sauce, creating a new flavor. The crispy texture of the plate udon is also enjoyable. As an okonomiyaki fan, I might prefer thicker noodles for the plate udon.

I entered the food court at Ito Yokado in Kunio with a lucky bag ticket I purchased during the New Year. It's always a tough decision on where to eat here, with options like McDonald's, Sukiya, Ringer Hut, KFC, Hanamaru, and crepes. This time, I chose Ringer Hut and ordered the "Colorful Plate Udon with Double Noodles." It was a weekday night and surprisingly there were quite a few customers. After about a 10-minute wait, my order was ready. The portion of noodles was quite large, and although I felt the sauce was a bit lacking, I mixed everything together thoroughly. The noodles were actually quite thin, which made it easier to eat. The balance between the noodles and the sauce was good. The ingredients seemed to be the same as the colorful champon I had before, and there were plenty of them. Overall, I was satisfied. The weight of the Colorful Plate Udon with Double Noodles was approximately 840g. Thank you for the meal.

On February 8, 2023, around 6:30 PM, I entered the store with my wife for our weekly dinner outing. Still feeling a bit down after hearing some shocking news at St. Luke's International Hospital yesterday, I decided to treat myself to a hearty meal at Ito Yokado's food court in Kunio. I ordered the "Colorful Champon with Double Noodles (890 yen + 100 yen)" from Linga Hut. It was ready in about 7 minutes. The portion seemed a bit small to me, but it was packed with plenty of vegetables. I couldn't really tell the difference in vegetable ingredients, but the dish had a satisfying amount of vegetables. I liked the firm texture of the noodles and the creamy soup. My only suggestion would be to increase the toppings. Maybe adding more spice level options or increasing the amount of corn and vegetables. Thank you for the delicious 1kg Colorful Champon with Double Noodles!

Around 1:15 PM on November 27, 2022, I visited the food court at Ito-Yokado in Kunio, and it was so crowded that it was difficult to find a seat. It's a good thing, though. Last Friday, around 6 PM, there were only a few people there. I ordered what I consider Linga Hut's heaviest dish, the "Vegetable-packed Champon with double noodles (890 yen + 100 yen)." After managing to secure a seat, I waited for about 5 minutes until the buzzer rang. Along with the champon came a dressing, which I usually poured without looking, but upon closer inspection, I realized the green container contained ginger dressing. First, I weighed it with the measuring device, and it was 2,333g. The ginger dressing was delicious when mixed with a bit of soup. The vegetables were indeed plentiful, around 400g as they say. I was looking forward to the noodles. I love Linga Hut's soup; it is delicious. I quickly finished the noodles and vegetables. The soup was also tasty, so I drank it all, leaving just a little bit, feeling guilty for some reason (laughs). After weighing it again, it was 1,076g. The Vegetable-packed Champon in large serving weighed 1,257g. It rivals the special large serving champon at Ramen Itten I had the other day, but Linga Hut's is cheaper. It was a fantastic meal. Thank you!

I discovered a Linghut at the food court in the residential area of Kunishiro. I always go for the vegetable-packed champon. I love the ginger dressing that they serve on the side, whether drizzled over the vegetables or added to the soup for some tanginess. I don't mind if the vegetables are so plentiful that they reach the noodles and make them soft by the time I get to them. Comedian Kendo Kobayashi praised the gyoza, so I ordered a set of three. Despite my low expectations for garlic-free gyoza, they turned out to be quite delicious. They are slightly larger than bite-sized, with a crispy skin and a flavorful filling. Even without garlic, the inclusion of chives gives them a nice punch. They definitely go well with beer. Come to think of it, there was a popular one-bite gyoza shop in the bustling streets of Nagasaki, so there is undoubtedly a gyoza culture. Eating gyoza at Linghut is not a sin. The day when I order a set of 15 gyoza instead of champon or plate udon is coming soon.

The child wanted to eat takoyaki, specifically from a place called "Gindako" that they had tried at a karaoke box and enjoyed. I found out that Gindako is available at the food court in Yokado. While I fulfilled the child's request, I struggled to find something for myself to eat. The food court had a variety of options, mainly major chain restaurants like Hanamaru and McDonald's. I ended up choosing a plate of udon from a less familiar restaurant, Linga Hat, and ordered double the noodles, which turned out to be too much for me. I tried to adjust the flavor with vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, but I was defeated. Next time the child requests Gindako, I'll quietly order a small portion of champon for myself.

Around 5:35 PM on July 27, 2022, I realized that I had forgotten my usual glasses at home, so I wore a pair that I didn't particularly like and went to work. I decided to make new glasses today, so I left work early and searched for Jins near my home. I went to the Ito-Yokado in Kunio to choose my glasses and was told to wait for about an hour. I decided to go to the first-floor food court while waiting. It turned out to be a Ringer Hut, so I ordered a regular-sized champon (noodle dish) instead of the vegetable champon because I wasn't very hungry yet. While waiting, I bought a drink at the nearby KFC. When my order was ready, I was surprised by the large portion of champon served in a huge bowl. The seasoning was just right, and there were plenty of vegetables in it. I was very satisfied and finished the whole meal. After receiving my new glasses, I headed home feeling content. On the way, my phone rang, and it was my wife asking when I would be ready to be picked up. I had forgotten it was Wednesday. I explained the situation and headed home. Thank you for the meal!

I had lunch today at "Ringer Hut" in the food court of Ito-Yokado Kunio store. It's been about 10 years since I last visited. I ordered the "Nagasaki Chanpon" noodles with 1.5 times the normal amount. The broth was rich and flavorful with plenty of vegetables and seafood. It reminded me of the authentic Nagasaki Chanpon I had in Nagasaki. I finished the soup and could have probably eaten double the amount of noodles. It might have been fun to try the "Takoyaki" from "Tsukiji Gindako" as a side dish as well!

On this day, I visited ASAHI in Komae to pick up the bicycle I bought the day before but couldn't transport. I quickly loaded the bike into the car and decided to eat at "Ringer Hut" inside the food court of Ito-Yokado Kunio store. It was a Sunday, but the food court inside the department store was crowded as if there was no self-restraint in place. I managed to secure a seat and ordered the plenty of vegetable champon noodles double serving. Lately, I have been challenging myself to eat around 1kg of food after eating the mountain-sized dish at Haruki. The 1kg challenge menu this time consisted of plenty of vegetables (480g) and noodles (400g), a suitable amount for a 1kg meal. When you include the soup, it exceeds 1kg (laughs). The buzzer rang, and I went to pick up the order and brought it back to my seat. I was really hungry, so I didn't feel like I couldn't eat at all. Of course, the vegetables in this champon are different from those in Jiro-style ramen. There is a variety of options, so you won't get bored. While you can't have unlimited noodle refills like in some places, if you can only eat around 1kg like me, this is definitely a good option. The noodles are not as thick as in Jiro-style ramen, but they satisfy your appetite completely. The soup is delicious too, and I would like to try authentic champon someday. But if the portion is small, I would feel disappointed, so maybe this is just right (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

[Ito-Yokado Kunitachi] I went to Ito-Yokado, the largest commercial facility in Chofu. They have the official shops for the Olympics and Paralympics, where the torch for the relay is displayed. I checked out the torch and official merchandise, then had lunch at the food court. [Food Court] Ito-Yokado Kunitachi has a food court with several shops, and I decided to eat here this time. [Ordered Items] Chilled Champon and Mapo Eggplant. I ordered the chilled champon and mapo eggplant that was featured on TV a while ago. It seemed a bit sensational on TV, so I was curious to try it. [Review of Chilled Champon and Mapo Eggplant] The soup was light due to being chilled, but it didn't leave a strong impression. The vegetables were not as plentiful as expected, and the soup lacked depth. The eggplant was tasty, and it came with chili oil, but overall, it lacked impact. Honestly, it didn't live up to the hype, and I felt something was missing. However, it was a cool and rainy day, so it might have been more enjoyable during the hot summer months as originally recommended. [Significance of Nagasaki Champon and Nagasaki Sara Udon] This experience made me appreciate the classic flavors of Nagasaki champon and Nagasaki sara udon even more. These two dishes are undeniably delicious. So, next time, I think I'll go for either Nagasaki champon, vegetable-packed champon, Nagasaki sara udon, or vegetable-packed sara udon.

I had the Nagasaki plate udon with noodles doubled in portion for 780 yen. It was past 12 pm on a weekday and I parked at Ito-Yo's parking lot. The place I was originally looking for was closed, so I ended up at Ito-Yo's food court. The food court here has a good selection of national chain restaurants, making it a comfortable and spacious place to dine. As for the plate udon, I opted for the noodles to be doubled in portion. It was delicious, but I started to get a bit tired of it towards the end. I wished they had some Kincho sauce. Overall, this food court seems like a convenient option.

The default champon here comes with double noodles for free!! I want to order the champon with lots of vegetables or the plate udon, but because I'm frugal, I always end up with this one... The flavor of the seasoning may be a bit strong, but I personally like it as part of the taste. I'm full now, thank you for the meal.

Chofu City, Tokyo, Kunio-cho. You may know it as the largest chain of Nagasaki Champon & plate udon. It is located in a prime location at the intersection of Komae Street and Shinagawa Street inside Ito-Yokado. The nearest station is Kunio Station on the Keio Line. It's been a while since I last had a meal at Ringer Hut. I think the last time was in my 20s. I stopped by before shopping at Ito-Yokado on the weekend. The food court is quite spacious, which is nice. It was crowded after 11 am, though. Orders are taken verbally and payment is made in advance. They use a notification machine. Self-service for water. Today's order: Nagasaki Champon noodles x2 for 649 yen, Set B (3 gyoza) for 165 yen. It's quite filling with lots of ingredients. I like that you can get 1.5x or 2x the noodles for free, but it made the soup taste a bit weak. It would have more flavor if they used squid or shellfish. The portion is large and fills you up, but since I've had delicious Nagasaki Champon many times since using Retty, this one didn't stand out. Also, the service from the staff was not good, they need some retraining. I should compare it with other branches next time. #Makushita #Nagasaki Champon #Food court #Ito-Yokado Kunio store #Parking available #Gyoza #Staff need retraining #Ringer Hut #Free shrimp chips #Possibility of revisiting (including other branches) #Next time, try the plate udon noodles x2.

On this day, during the second half of a 10-day holiday, my family decided to go out for a meal and set off in the car. We chose Mamma Pasta in Komae and arrived at the restaurant, but the parking lot was almost full so we gave up. We then headed to Choshi Maru, a conveyor belt sushi restaurant nearby, but it was also in the same situation. I thought to myself that everyone seems to be enjoying a leisurely time without going out much. Just as we were about to give up and go back, my wife suggested eating at the food court in Ito-Yokado, so we headed to the Ito-Yokado in Kokubun. Surprisingly, the parking lot was empty, unlike the usual crowded situation. The food court was also less crowded than usual. Each of us ordered our favorite dishes and placed them on the table. I ordered the Lingua Hatton Chanpon double portion (even though I'm on a diet...) + Gyoza set (896 yen). It came in a quite large bowl, making it hard to judge the portion size, but the amount of food inside was substantial. I managed to finish it while saying "I'm struggling..." Well, it's full of vegetables so it's zero calories (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

On my first visit to Jikei University Hospital Third Hospital for an outpatient visit. I was nervous because it was the announcement of the previous examination, but so far the results are fine (^O^)／ I feel relieved and head to have lunch♪ I didn't have any particular place in mind, so I went to Ito-Yokado nearby. When I looked at the signboard, I saw that there was a Ringer Hut in the food court, so I decided to try it. This time, both my wife and I ordered the "Nagasaki Champon" (excluding tax 590 yen). The noodles were increased by 1.5 times for free (*^^)v The buzzer for calling out orders looked like a TV, and I could see quizzes and recipes for dishes. I remembered seeing the president of this place on TV before, saying that "Nagasaki's Ringer Hut is the best!" and responding with "We cook mechanically, so the quality is exactly the same no matter who cooks it in any store nationwide." As he said, the taste is consistently good at any store, and the quality is high. I am happy that I can always eat plenty of vegetables each time (*^_^*)

I just noticed when looking at the photo that there was no butter on it.

Long time no see dish udon! Here, following the manual, it was delicious♪

Stable deliciousness! (o^^o)

The miso soup was also quite good. (o^^o)
