I made a reservation in advance through TableCheck and arrived at 12:45. It seems the previous customers were running late, so I was only able to enter after 12:50.There was no need to show my reservation or have my name called. Once I got the green light, I entered the restaurant and purchased my meal ticket.I ordered the Special Grape Pepper Ramen (JPY 2250) and the Grilled Pork Rice (JPY 450).I was so glad to have the grape pepper!My bowl arrived in about 12 minutes. The aroma was absolutely amazing. Taking a sip of the broth, I was blown away by the refreshing flavor of the pepper, the deep umami of the dashi, and the sharpness of the soy sauce—it was truly impressive!This is nothing like the typical "pepper" ramen that just numbs your mouth. You can only understand this once you taste it.The straight, thin noodles, reminiscent of nyumen, were fluffy and had a wonderful softness. The chashu was incredibly varied and had a strong contrast, making it a delight to enjoy. The portion was substantial, and everything was tender and delicious! The balance of flavors was perfect.The Grilled Pork Rice was also quite generous! At JPY 450, it was a great deal. There was plenty of grilled pork, fresh green onions, and the rice was cooked just right. It paired well with the broth, so I enjoyed it like a hitsumabushi at the end.I’m completely full! It was a great meal!
