Mokkosu Sakae
もっこす 栄店
Overview
Mokkosu Sakae-ten is a Kumamoto Ramen shop in Nagoya's Sakae Sumiyoshi area, open until late at night. It's been popular among locals as a late-night ramen spot after midnight, and its signature dish is the unique 'Natto Ramen'. This dish features a tonkotsu (pork bone) based soup combined with carefully whisked and frothed natto (fermented soybeans), creating a surface covered with white foam, similar to an espuma. The stickiness of the natto itself is suppressed, and the tonkotsu soup mellows the natto flavor, making it much easier to eat than its appearance suggests. Large natto beans sink to the bottom, so it's recommended to scoop them up as you eat. They also offer regular ramen with the characteristic roasted garlic aroma of Kumamoto ramen, spicy ramen, and takana (pickled mustard greens) ramen. Popular side dishes include chahan (fried rice), karaage (fried chicken), and juicy gyoza. As one of the few places open until late, it's a convenient spot for a late-night meal after drinking in Sakae.

1Before entering
This shop operates late at night, open until 3 AM from Sunday to Thursday, and until 5 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Many people visit late at night as a finishing meal after drinking in Sakae. It's relatively uncrowded late at night, but there might be a line outside on Saturday nights.
2Purchasing meal tickets and ordering
Upon entering, you will be asked about the number of people and assigned a seat. Afterward, purchase your meal ticket from the vending machine on the left side of the entrance. As the vending machine lacks dish photos and English descriptions, it's smoother if you decide on your order beforehand, such as their signature Natto Ramen. You can choose your noodle firmness from "yawame (soft), futsu (regular), katame (firm)", and tell the staff verbally when you hand over your ticket (it will be regular if not specified). Kaedama (extra noodle) costs 150 yen. Payment is cash only; credit cards, e-money, and QR code payments are not accepted.
3Seating and receiving your order
There are only 14 counter seats. Go to your assigned seat and hand your meal ticket to the staff. Natto Ramen takes about 5 minutes to prepare as it involves stirring the natto.
4Other notes
As you eat Natto Ramen, natto accumulates at the bottom of the bowl, so use a spoon to scoop it up to enjoy it until the very end. The shop also offers a good selection of side dishes, including fried rice, fried chicken, and juicy gyoza.

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'.
