1Before Entering

About a 6-minute walk from Yurikamome Hinode Station, and about 10 minutes from JR Hamamatsucho Station. Open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, closed on Wednesdays. Lunch starts relatively late at 12:00 PM, operating in two shifts: lunch (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM) and dinner (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM). Although it's a popular shop, there isn't always a long queue; on weekdays or right after opening, you can often enter without waiting.

2Ordering

There is no ticket vending machine. After being seated, look at the menu on the table and place your order verbally with the staff. In addition to the signature "Tori Chintan Blue," there are colorful variations such as white grape, peach, and plum. The menu is also available in English. Payment is made after the meal. Only cash is accepted; credit cards, e-money, and QR code payments are not available.

3Seating and Receiving

There are only 8 counter seats with a white-themed interior. Expect to wait about 10 minutes for your order to be served. The blue soup gradually transfers its color to the noodles, chicken chashu, and ajitama (seasoned egg) over time, so enjoying this change is part of the experience.

4Other

There are black pepper and sesame mills on the table; adding pepper to the blue soup tightens the flavor. There are no shelves or baskets for luggage, so it's best to visit light so you can place large bags at your feet.

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.

Ramen Jiro "Kabuji" (Shinjuku-Kabukicho): The Complete Guide to Jiro Calls and Timing

Just a 1-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station North Exit, Ramen Jiro Shinjuku-Kabukicho, affectionately known as Kabuji (a nickname combining Kabukicho + Jiro), is the fourth oldest chokkei (direct-lineage) shop of the Ramen Jiro chain. Its late-night hours from 11:30 AM to 2:30 AM (Mon, Tue, Thu-Sun, closed Wed) are a unique advantage among chokkei shops, making it ideal for combining with Kabukicho sightseeing or as a late-night ramen after drinks. With its semi-emulsified pork-bone shoyu broth, homemade flat thick wavy noodles, unique call (shouted topping order ritual) culture (Ninniku (raw grated garlic), Yasai (boiled bean sprouts on top), Abura (solid back fat for richness), Karame (extra soy tare for stronger salty taste), Mashi (more, about 1.5×), Sukuname (less, about half)), the chokkei system of ticket-folding (a wordless system to request firmer or softer noodles by folding the meal ticket) to specify noodle hardness, lot system (a Jiro-specific eating rhythm where the same batch of customers finish together) manners, and specific rules (no phone calls, no photography except ramen, no drunken entry), this article provides a complete guide based on our visit on May 15, 2026, where we ordered a Small Ramen (¥950) with the call 'Ninniku Sukuname, Yasai, Abura'.
