I wanted to try the limited 10 servings of Tsukemen, so I made a reservation first thing in the morning and was first in line, but there was no Tsukemen available. It seems to be true what other Tabelog users have said—that they stopped serving it because it takes too long for inbound customers to eat.The only post on the restaurant's X was about changing the menu. Given the circumstances, I can only assume they can't provide specific details.Instead, I ordered the Shiro Shoyu Ramen for JPY 1450, which I had decided on in case the Tsukemen was unavailable. This isn't a ramen with a white broth; it's a light soy sauce ramen. If this flavor is as good as the reputation suggests, I can understand the appeal. However, for this type of flavor, I find that ramen shops in the basement of Shinjuku Station offer better value for money. If we're talking about the Ramen Oni series from their training location, Sugimoto offers similar taste and price. Both places can be visited without a reservation at any time.It feels like the hype is stronger than the reality, but I'm glad to have realized that this is just an ordinary ramen and not something special.
