伍年食堂
Overview
This Chinese soba shop, opened in 2021, is located in the B1F of Equinia Yokohama, directly connected to Yokohama Station. It focuses on local production for local consumption and serves ramen without chemical seasonings. Their signature dish is Soy Sauce Chuka Soba, made with chicken bones and dried seafood, all without chemical seasonings. The chicken bones are from chickens raised on wood vinegar, and the dried ingredients are cold-brewed from the day before. The noodles are thin, low-hydration, whole-wheat noodles from Menya Teigaku in Kyoto, known for their firm, snappy texture and rich wheat flavor. The trendy "Kombu-sui Tsukemen" (kelp water dipping noodles) is also popular, offering a free half portion of extra noodles (kaedama, extra noodles) served piping hot without being chilled, which is interesting as it allows the umami of the kombu-sui to fully blossom. Unique dishes like "Happy Natto Ramen," made with blended, foamy natto, are also available. The shop is managed by Ast Co., Ltd., which also operates "Ohashi" at Yokohama Central Wholesale Market and "Tsuruichi-ya Neo" in Tsuruya-cho.
How to Order
1Before Entering
Located on B1F of Equinia Yokohama, a 3-minute walk from Yokohama Station West Exit. Directly connected from the Diamond Underground Shopping Center, right next to the popular Chinese restaurant "Ryumi." It's in a hidden corner of the underground mall and can be easily missed, but service is quick, and waiting times are short. Open only during lunch hours from 11:00 to 15:00, seven days a week.
2Purchase Meal Tickets & Order
Purchase meal tickets from the vending machine on the left side of the entrance. Buttons have photos and English translations, along with "recommended" marks. Payment is cash only. Hand your purchased tickets to the staff.
3Seating & Receiving
There are only 8 L-shaped counter seats. The aisle behind the seats is very narrow; although there are luggage baskets, for the seats further in, it's best to call out to others when entering or exiting. Service is quick, usually within a few minutes.
4Other
The signature dish is Soy Sauce Chuka Soba without chemical seasonings. The Kombu-sui Tsukemen offers a free half portion of extra noodles (kaedama, extra noodles), and adding the hot, unchilled extra noodles to the kombu-sui further enhances its umami. You can also enjoy unique menu items like Natto Ramen and customize your meal with table condiments.

Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya (Ikebukuro): Navigating the Japanese-Only Ticket Machine and a Review of its Robust Miso Ramen
Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya, a miso ramen specialist located in Nishi-Ikebukuro, is just about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station's West Exit. This shop is known for its hearty miso ramen: a thick, rich, slightly sweet miso broth, firm thick noodles, melt-in-your-mouth chashu, and a towering pile of crisp bean sprouts (moyashi) – a truly robust and voluminous bowl. The menu features four main series: Miso Ramen, Kara-Miso Ramen (spicy miso), Aemen (a brothless mixed noodle dish), and IWGP Geki-Kara Ramen (extra hot). This guide, based on our visit on Friday, May 22, 2026 (arrived at 6:39 PM with a 13-person queue), provides photos and tips for first-time visitors to Japan. We'll cover how to navigate the Japanese-only, no-photo ticket vending machine using a color guide, understand the queuing situation (only 9 counter seats and long noodle cooking times mean slower turnover), tips to avoid crowds, and the cash-only payment policy.
