Ramen Mazesoba Arashi Nishiki
らーめんまぜそば あらし 錦店
Overview
A Taiwanese mazesoba shop located deep within the first floor of a multi-tenant building in Nishiki, Nagoya's bustling entertainment district. The signature 'mazesoba' features a salt-based sauce infused with the savory aroma of dried shrimp and dried scallops, combined with spicy Taiwanese minced pork, chunky diced chashu, egg yolk, green onions, and shredded nori. When mixed well before eating, the ingredients and sauce thoroughly coat the chewy, extra-thick noodles. The signature mazesoba is mildly spicy and easy to eat. For those who prefer more spice, there's Taiwan Mazesoba, as well as unique variations like Curry Taiwan Mazesoba and a lighter Shio (salt) Taiwan Mazesoba, offering a full range of mazesoba options. After finishing the noodles, the classic way to conclude the meal is with a free 'oi-meshi' (extra rice), where a small amount of rice is added to the remaining sauce and ingredients in the bowl. Kombu vinegar and ichimi togarashi (Japanese chili powder) are available on the table; adding them during the latter half of the meal lightens the richness and allows you to enjoy it without getting tired of the taste until the very end. In addition to Taiwan mazesoba, shio (salt) ramen is also available.
How to Order
1Before entering
The entrance is located at the back of an alley, on the first floor of a multi-tenant building in Nagoya's Nishiki entertainment district. The sign is not prominent and can be hard to find, so it's a good idea to confirm the location with the address and a map beforehand. It operates from evening until the next morning, and late at night, a line may form outside the shop with customers finishing drinks. When waiting, use the chairs placed outside the shop.
2Purchasing meal tickets and ordering
There is a ticket vending machine outside the entrance; purchase your meal ticket there before entering the shop. If there's a line, buy your ticket at the vending machine and then join the queue. The vending machine has no food photos and is only in Japanese, so it's easier to choose if you know the main menu items in advance, such as the signature mazesoba, Taiwan mazesoba, and salt Taiwan mazesoba. Noodle portion sizes can be chosen from small, regular, or large (omori, large size). Payment is cash only; credit cards are not accepted.
3Seating and receiving your order
There are only 12 counter seats. The staff will guide you to a seat, and you hand over your purchased meal ticket when you sit down. The estimated serving time is 5-10 minutes.
4Other
Kombu vinegar and ichimi togarashi (Japanese chili powder) are available on the table; adding them midway through will change the flavor. It's customary to mix well before eating, being careful not to splash the sauce. After finishing your noodles, inform the staff, and you can get free oi-meshi (a small amount of rice) added to your bowl. You can enjoy it to the end with the remaining sauce and ingredients.

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'.
