Ichiran is always my favorite! Drinking up the soup at the bottom of the bowl is always my first goal? But how about the dining environment? Because it is an Internet celebrity restaurant, basically all the people who come are tourists, and there are almost no locals, so the menu is in different languages, which is very convenient to use.

Ichiran is always my favorite! Drinking up the soup at the bottom of the bowl is always my first goal? But how about the dining environment? Because it is an Internet celebrity restaurant, basically all the people who come are tourists, and there are almost no locals, so the menu is in different languages, which is very convenient to use.
When you go in and line up, the clerk will enthusiastically ask you what language you want the order in, and then hand you a checklist of materials translated into the corresponding language. Just check the one that suits your taste! As Sichuanese, strong taste is a must for us!
It is worthy of being the No. 1 online celebrity ramen restaurant in Japan. It was past 10 o'clock and there was still a long line at the door! The dining environment is so weird! I felt like I was taking an exam instead of eating! Fortunately, the small partition on the table can be folded up, and ice water is provided for free.
Ichiran Ramen has a long-standing reputation in Japan. Although it has branches in Hong Kong, I still feel that the local ones are more authentic. When you enter the store, the clerk will first ask you where you are from, and then give you a list in the corresponding language for you to check the box for your preferred ramen flavor. Ichiran Ramen The sales method adopted is the vending machine. The payment and ordering are done on the machine in one go. When you enter the door, the payment operation is immediately carried out, which is very convenient. After paying and getting the change, take the vending machine receipt to the second floor, where a waiter will guide you to your seat. The characteristic of Ichiran Ramen is that it provides you with an independent space for eating noodles. Each seat is separated by a partition. People next to you won’t see you or disturb you while eating noodles. If a few acquaintances go to Ippudo to eat noodles together, they can fold down the partition so that everyone can eat together. After you take your seat, check the order of the customized ramen you want, hand the selected order and the receipt from the vending machine to the clerk inside, and wait a moment for it to be served. The design of Ichiran Ramen demonstrates meticulous care. There are hooks under the tables in each compartment for diners to hang their bags. There is a railing behind the seat with a clothes hanger. If you are worried about the smell of ramen getting on your coat, or if it is too hot to eat with your coat on, you can hang your coat on the hanger and put it on after eating your bowl of noodles. There is a napkin box hanging on the table, so you can take out the tissue while turning around after eating a bowl of noodles. In addition, each compartment has a cup rack with a faucet under it. You can take out the cup and turn on the water valve to get drinking water. It is worth mentioning that in Japan and South Korea, the drinking water provided in the store is There is no ice water or hot water. If you want to drink hot water, you can only drink tea. I really admire the locals. They drink ice water regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter. How can their stomachs bear it? Don't they feel cold? I think maybe they have been like this since they were young. Their constitution is different from ours. They don't have cold body, yin deficiency and yang deficiency. The term phlegm and dampness. Ichiran Ramen is a Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen based on tonkotsu broth and straight noodles. The basic characteristics of tonkotsu ramen are that the tonkotsu broth is stewed over a strong fire and the gelatin is dissolved into the broth. The bone broth has a refreshing taste. I also ordered a serving of matcha almond tofu. The advertisement said that the matcha in Ichiran's matcha almond tofu was produced in Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu Island. Many people know Uji tea, but few people know that Yame tea is also the best tea. The taste of Yame tea is slightly stronger than that of Uji tea, and it goes down the throat smoothly with a sweet and mellow taste. Yame tea grows in the Yame region, which is shrouded in thick fog and has a cool climate. The tea is fragrant and has a strong flavor, and is a high-end famous tea. Among them, the traditional Bengyoku is considered to be the best green tea. Ichiran's Matcha Almond Tofu uses Yame Matcha, so it has a strong matcha flavor. The matcha appears on the tofu in a layered and beautiful emerald color. The tofu is very smooth and feels like soft pudding when eaten. There is a surprise at the bottom of every bowl of Ichiran Ramen, which you can only see after you finish eating the noodles and drinking all the soup. The words on the bottom of the bowl mean: This drop is the most supreme joy. Ichiranla expresses its gratitude to diners after eating. This is the highest pursuit of Japanese craftsmen, and it is also a recognition and respect for their craftsmanship.
The dining room is a small wooden window with independent grids. You can give the meal ticket directly to the waiter in front of the window and wait for your meal! There are many choices for the soup base, ingredients and noodles of Ichiran Ramen. There are three languages in Chinese, English and Japanese. The matcha tofu here is also very good. Babies who like matcha can try it.
The taste of Ichiran Ramen is indeed well-deserved. I eat it every time. The soup is delicious. I recommend adding onions and chili. I now eat 10 times the pepper. The pepper is really fragrant. The real taste of the ingredients, and it doesn't just make the tongue spicy, but also delicious. Although I order green tea jelly every time (I take it myself), I don't particularly like it as a dessert, but it doesn't go well with ramen! This one in Shibuya has only about 20 seats when entering, and it's so painful to queue for a long time. The noodles are really delicious, but I don't want to queue again. Isn't Menya Musashi good? !
Ichiran Ramen is everywhere in Japan. It was my first time eating Ichiran and I realized that eating ramen is private [wipe sweat][wipe sweat][wipe sweat]. The waiter just stretched out his two hands through the roller shutter. After entering, you automatically bought a ticket and chose your meal. Then you took your small card and found a place to sit down. There was almost no one talking, only the sound of eating ramen. Then there was a small window that took your small card and handed it to you to eat. The matcha tofu was delicious and rich in flavor. The ramen was just average, and the soup was thick, but not so delicious that it was delicious... There are also a few in Hong Kong, but the atmosphere feels different, so the taste is a little different... It's just my personal opinion. The price is not expensive. I suggest not going at mealtime because the queue is super long... You can go in the afternoon, hahaha
