I had been wanting to visit, but I heard it gets really crowded. So, I decided to go on a Saturday afternoon, hoping for bad weather on a typhoon day! I thought they might be closed, but without checking, I found the trains were running, so I took the chance. Fortunately, they were open, and the shutters were up. At 11:00, there was no wait outside, and while there might have been six people in the waiting area, it felt cramped, so I wandered around for about 30 minutes. Even at 11:15, there was no wait outside, just three groups ahead of me. Since there are few seats for two or more, they don’t seat many at once, and I was called at 11:50. There were many solo female diners, and with six counter seats available, I recommend going alone. I ordered a half portion of tamagoyaki (about JPY 660) and hot soba. It said to mix the egg and condiments while waiting, but I wanted to take a photo, so I waited without mixing. The noodles were thick like kishimen, and instead of slurping, I chewed them. It looked like a small portion, and I didn’t want to finish it too quickly, so I took my time. Normally, I’d finish in just two or three slurps. Honestly, it wasn’t dramatically delicious, and I wondered why it was so popular. Maybe it was just first-timers. I probably wouldn’t wait in line to come back. The tamagoyaki was soft and melted away quickly. It was delicious with the grated daikon. By 12:15, I finished eating, and there were about 15 people waiting outside. If you go, aim for opening time. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, there was a bossy woman shouting, "Why isn’t this cleaned up? Why isn’t this out?" in a rather harsh tone. The employees she scolded were apologetic and seemed nice, so I felt sorry for them. After reading the reviews, I hope they improve this situation. That’s why I’m giving a lower rating.
