Tokyo Ramen Street - Yokotemachi

A ramen-attraction-point with 6 stalls, each of them got long queue by off work people. Chose this because I saw the vegetable at first. Then in the picture collection board I liked photo of it again. Then I found it was a Michelin place. Vegetable noodle was really special! If we can replace noodle with Brown rice version in any ramen, that would be better.

It’s pretty hard to find this place. We asked some officers where the ramen street is, but they seem did not know. We finally found the place and we face long line up for breakfast at Rokurinsha. We line up for abpuy 30 minutes and finally we chose for the breakfast menu only. It was not my favorite. It’s too salty.

A convenient cluster of ramen shops in the basement of Tokyo Station’s east end. There are 7 ramen shops (as of Nov 2022) doing ramen a bit differently from each other. Choose your favorite style of ramen and order at the touch-screen kiosk placed in front of each shop. The kiosk will dispense your order ticket. If you don’t read Japanese, there’s a button for English at the upper right corner on the touch screen. You can pay with cash or credit card. Hand the ticket to the staff when they come to you. The staff will then lead you inside. Once you’re seated, the staff will ask how you’d like your ramen prepared: firmness and flavor intensity are common decisions for you to make. At first, I didn't know what they were asking but figured it out eventually. So I decided with extra firm and normal intensity. However, I still found it a bit too salty and also wished there could be more broth in the bowl. Despite that I enjoyed the “al dente” noodles very much.

Great place where a lot of good ramens in one place. All of them has some queue but most queue move quite fast. Good place amidst the underground complex of Tokyo Station.

Wife and I had a hard tome finding exactly where it was. Wish I could give you a tip but we stumbled on to it. However we chose one place at random. We paid the meal before entering at a machine and used our pasmo card to pay. That was pretty neat and they sat us right away. The number 2 noodle with pork I think it was. Fantastic. The meat was rich flavorful. Pretty good portion size too.
