I finally got to try the Special Soy Sauce Ramen at Raa Menya Shima, a place I had been wanting to visit for a long time. This popular restaurant only operates on weekdays and requires a challenging online reservation made the day before. On my previous attempt, I had stayed at a nearby hotel to practice for the reservation, but unfortunately, they were closed for a temporary break. The last time, I finally secured a reservation and was overjoyed, booking a hotel and taking time off work to travel to Tokyo, only to receive a last-minute cancellation email from the restaurant due to unforeseen circumstances. It was a painful memory that left me feeling blank. Time passed, but I still wanted to try again, so I made another reservation and was filled with anxiety until I arrived at the restaurant. I left the hotel early and headed straight there, and this time, they were indeed open! I was seated right on time, purchased my meal ticket, and within 15 minutes, my bowl arrived. The soy sauce broth was absolutely incredible! It had a perfect balance of sharpness, richness, and quality, with an overwhelming depth of flavor. The medium-thin straight noodles were delightful and had a wonderful texture. The chashu and wontons were also top-notch. I finally fulfilled my long-held wish. It was a great meal!
