Jiro-style ramen is a favorite of Japanese people. In other words, junk-addicted ramen. Ramen Bari-O Daimon Branch. It’s so packed, where do I even start eating?

Asia/Tokyo11

I had a craving for ramen noodles with a unique and oily smell.
I came. A ramen shop.” Bali Man.”
As the name suggests, this is a hard-core restaurant where only men are allowed.

Japanese people’s impressions after eating this ramen

Review:
This unique Jiro-inspired spot has its main branch in Shimbashi. The small ramen at 950 yen comes with a generous 200g of noodles and three slices of pork. The ordering method is slightly unconventional—you declare your choices when placing your ticket on the counter. Garlic is available on the table, so your options are just three: extra veggies, extra oil, or extra broth. Even though I’m no newbie to this place, I still flustered over the procedure (wry smile).

The signature look here is the small bowl filled to the brim with broth, packed tightly with noodles. The noodles are extremely thick, chewy, and flavorful. The soup looks robust like the noodles, but surprisingly light when you taste it. Adding the special table-top chili flakes (homemade chili) or vinegar changes the flavor, gradually enhancing the taste and boosting the deliciousness. By the end, I added too much chili and broke out in a sweat, but it was the kind of inspiration I love – delicious.

I’ve had spicy ramen in HOT. Spicy ramen restaurant in Shinbashi, Tokyo

Asia/Tokyo9

I have recently developed a taste for spicy food, and today I went in search of spicy ramen in Tokyo.

Natsuboshi

A ramen shop in the old business district of Shinbashi, Tokyo.

signboard

The name of the restaurant is “Natsuboshi.”
There are many Chinese restaurants in Japan, but unlike authentic Chinese cuisine, the flavors of these restaurants are different from those of the real thing and more suited to Japanese tastes.

Therefore, I am searching for a restaurant that serves delicious and spicy food that is close to authentic Chinese food.

Automatic ticketing machines are still unique to Japan.

Hot Level Menu

You can choose spiciness and numbness when you order your ramen. In case you are wondering, I set both to level 3.

The spicy tantanmen

I did it. The spicy tantanmen I had been waiting for.

It wasn’t as spicy as I thought it would be. Too bad. I ate it while sweating, though. It was delicious.

Review

I visited for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. It seems there’s another branch of the same chain in Ichigaya. While many restaurants in this area (Shinbashi) are closed on weekends and holidays, I was grateful this one was open.
The Sichuan-style tantanmen comes in two varieties: “Original Blend” and “White Sesame.” I chose the former. You can select the level of spiciness and numbing sensation from three levels each (1-3), so I chose level 3 for both. True to its “Sichuan” name, it’s a delicious, authentic-style tantanmen with that signature spicy and numbing kick, achieved by combining sesame paste with chili oil and Sichuan pepper. (Note: Technically, authentic Sichuan tantanmen is usually served dry, without soup. Personally, I enjoy both dry and soup-based versions, so I won’t dwell on that point.)

Hell-Bound Ramen Exists in Japan. Hellishly spicy ramen

Asia/Tokyo9

In Gotanda, Tokyo, I found a ramen restaurant called Hell’s Tantanmen.　Today, I would like to tell you about it.

Recently there has been a spicy food boom in Japan, and more and more people are entering restaurants in search of spicy food.

I entered a spicy-looking restaurant.

The small restaurant is crowded with people who have come for the spicy food.

Hell's Food Ticket

You purchase a meal ticket from a meal ticket machine, which is unique to Japan, and hand it to the waiter.

There are also mysterious objects, and the atmosphere is just like hell.

You can choose the amount of noodles you want, so tell the waiter how much you want when you order.

Tantanmen that came to me, challenging the beginner’s spiciness. It does not look spicy, but it is spicy enough. Next time, I plan to try another level of spiciness.

I visited “Yamatoya” this time. It is a yakitori restaurant where you eat standing up. There are two areas: one is for a large group of people and the other is a counter area where you can eat alone.

At the counter, you talk to the waiter in front of you and place your order. In the large group area, please talk to the waiter who is hanging around.

Most yakitori restaurants will ask about seasoning. Many yakitori restaurants will ask for seasoning, either tare or shio. Tare is sweet and spicy. Shio (salt) is a refreshing seasoning with Japanese poppy seeds.　The restaurant is crowded, so please speak loudly.

This is a unique place to start. Originally, the bill is paid at once after you have ordered, but at this restaurant, you pay in cash for each order. So please have cash ready.

When you are ready, put the food in a colander. The change will be returned to the colander.

The kitchen is always busy. The washed glasses are immediately filled with drinks again and served.

This method is not often seen. Japanese people understand this system somewhat by looking at it. But foreigners who are not accustomed to this system may be confused. Please learn from this and try the authentic and tasty yakitori.
