The broth has a thick consistency, however, I felt it was overly salty and a bit grainy for my liking (a more velvety texture with rendered fat would have be nicer).

The ramen is delicious, very umami and hearty. Noodles are very well done. Wouldn’t have noticed it if I wasn’t following directions but so glad I found this spot. Loved it. Super cozy lowkey atmosphere with a very modern aesthetic. Came at 7pm on a Tuesday and wasn’t crowded at all, at one point we were the only people here. Would recommend to anyone looking to get a relaxing bowl of ramen. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Decided to come early to queue but turns out that there were enough seats for everyone on the first seating. Similar to the other outlet, you order at the kiosk before taking a seat. The space is actually very spacious and minimalistic, perhaps the reason why the prices are slightly higher. I ordered the beef ramen, added char shu, egg and a side of wagyu rice bowl. Everything added up to slightly under 3000¥. It’s not cheap but it’s also cause I added a lot of things. At the other outlet I had tsukenmen so I decided to try the ramen this time round. The broth is equally rich and not super drinkable. It’s akin to the taste and nagi ramen in shinjuku. The charshu is super good, melt in your mouth. The Wagyu slice is quite big but as it’s cooked well done, I couldn’t tell how good it is. When I left, there wasn’t anyone waiting to come in. Seems like the type of place if you know you know kind. From the exterior, you’ll have no clue what they sell or if they are even opened. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: ¥2,000–3,000 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
