Ordering difficulty
No ticket machine, so you order verbally after being seated and pay afterward; with many unique menu items like Katsu Curry Ramen, it's best to take your time to read the menu carefully on your first visit.
Recommended for first visit
The signature dish is Katsu Curry Ramen (1,250 yen). Operating from late night to early morning, it has long been a popular choice for a post-drinking ramen in Nagoya's Sakae Joshi Oji area.
Notes
Irregular closing days, so confirmation with the store is necessary. Be aware of smoking-permitted seats if you dislike smoke. The Joshi Oji area at night has many touts, so be careful when walking.

1Before Entering

8 minutes walk from Sakae Station, on the 1st floor of a building in the Joshi Oji entertainment district. Be careful when walking in the late-night hours as there are many touts in the area. Open continuously from 11:30 AM to 7:00 AM the next day from Monday to Saturday, and from 11:30 AM to 5:00 AM the next day on Sundays and holidays, primarily catering to the late-night shime-ramen demand. The closing days are not clearly set and are irregular, so it is recommended to confirm with the store before visiting.

2Ordering and Payment

There is no ticket machine; customers order verbally by looking at the menu at the counter or table after being seated, and pay at the counter after the meal (post-payment system). Signature dishes include Curry Ramen, Katsu Curry Ramen, Katsu Curry Rice, Mayonnaise Ramen, the standard soy sauce ramen "Matsu," and Kotobuki (Special). Side dishes such as fried rice, stir-fried vegetables, chicken wings (tebasaki), and fried chicken are also available, offering a pub-like menu configuration that goes beyond the typical ramen shop. Payments are cash only; cards, e-money, and QR code payments are not accepted.

3Seating and Receiving Your Order

In addition to 11 counter seats, there are 4 table seats, making a total of 26 seats, which is relatively spacious for the Sakae area. Water is self-service. The estimated waiting time for your order is about 5 to 10 minutes.

4Other Information

Fried garlic and chili pepper are available on the table, allowing you to customize the flavor to your preference. Breaking and mixing an egg yolk into Katsu Curry Ramen adds a mellow richness, making it easier to eat. As there are smoking-permitted seats in the store, those who dislike cigarette smoke may want to choose their visit time or seating carefully. Pay at the counter after your meal, and be aware that you might be approached by touts outside in the late-night hours.

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.
