Overview
Located in Sakae, Nagoya, this is a beef bone ramen shop specializing in wagyu and beef bones. It is the second brand of 'Shurakutei Kuuan', known as a famous duck broth restaurant in Midori Ward, and its signature dish is 'Wagyu Shio Ramen'. The soup, made from Kuroge Wagyu beef bones combined with Dounan Ma-kombu seaweed and Himi-produced dried sardines, is milky white and mellow, with a distinct richness and sweetness characteristic of beef, yet almost no unpleasant smell. It has a unique flavor that resembles both tori paitan (chicken broth) and tonkotsu (pork bone broth), and many say it's a bowl they've never tasted before. The thin, smooth, and chewy noodles, made with high hydration, lift the soup well, and toppings include tender shabu-shabu style wagyu, aromatic roast beef, and well-seasoned daikon radish and turnip. The biggest highlight is the fermented seasonings in syringe-shaped containers on the table, allowing you to enjoy changes in flavor by adding small amounts of several types, such as Aomori garlic x rice koji, onion x grape vinegar, and Mikuniyama green chili x hishio. Mazesoba (mixed noodles) and limited-time menus are also available, offering a different experience each time you visit.

1Before Entering
Located on the 1st floor of Sakae Green Building, about a 5-minute walk from Sakae Station in Sakae, Nagoya. Look for the black cow silhouette on a white wall. It's a calm space with exposed concrete, rarely has a line, and you can usually get in relatively smoothly day and night. Closed on Mondays, and only open for lunch on Sundays.
2Purchasing Meal Tickets & Ordering
There is a ticket machine at the entrance. Purchase your meal ticket here before proceeding to your seat. Since the ticket machine has no photos or English, it's best to check the "Wagyu Shio Ramen" sign as a guide, along with options for "Tokusei" (special/deluxe) and other toppings. "Tokusei" includes more toppings, and the price difference from the regular version is small, so choose according to your preference. "Aedama" (seasoned extra noodles) is only available during evening hours. Payment is cash only; credit cards, e-money, and QR code payments are not accepted.
3Seating & Receiving
There are only 11 L-shaped counter seats. A staff member will guide you to your seat and take your meal ticket. Estimated serving time is around 10 minutes.
4Other
Several types of fermented seasonings in syringe-shaped containers are available on the table. Since they greatly affect the soup, take a small amount of soup with your ladle, add the seasoning little by little, and find your preferred taste. Aomori garlic x rice koji is a popular choice. Rice is free during lunchtime. "Aedama" or "dashi chazuke" (soup over rice) can be added to finish your meal.

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'.
