After successfully securing a coveted 11:45 reservation through fierce online competition, I finally made my long-awaited first visit. Upon entering, I quickly chose the "Special Soy Sauce Ramen" from the cash-only vending machine without hesitation.As I waited, I observed the owner skillfully managing both cooking and customer service all on his own, and within just a few minutes, my bowl arrived.First, I was captivated by the stunning form of the char siu, which completely covered one side of the bowl. The contrast with the accompanying nori and green onions was truly impressive.Taking a sip of the broth, I was greeted with a delicate yet profound richness and luxurious umami that spread across my palate, leaving a beautifully clear taste that resonated with my senses. The straight noodles had a wonderfully smooth texture, perfectly complementing the aromatic broth.The star of the dish, the char siu, featured various cuts, each prepared with a unique touch, and there was no heaviness from the fat, allowing me to enjoy it until the very last bite.As I continued to eat, I was delighted by the plump wontons filled with the flavors of meat and shrimp, the exquisite flavored egg, and the crunchy strips of menma, all contributing to a flawless bowl that left me in awe until the final drop.This is undoubtedly a bowl worth the effort of making a reservation—a supreme experience.It was a great meal!
