The ramen broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are chewy, the bean sprouts are crunchy, the soft-boiled egg is flavorful, and the slices of meat are incredibly delicious. The rice with braised meat paired with the broth is a perfect match, leaving one feeling satisfied.
The interior decoration style of the store is unique, and the seats provide paper napkins to prevent soiling clothes, creating a comfortable overall atmosphere.
The staff will ask about the spiciness level while you are in line, providing thoughtful service. Ice water and seasoning powder are available for self-service, making the overall service very attentive.

Originally, this trip was just for one ramen shop, but after finishing our meal on the first day, I couldn't stop thinking about it 😂 A friend suddenly found this place (there's one in Taipei, but I haven't tried it) and even on a weekday at 7 PM, there were quite a few people. As it got closer to 8 PM, more and more people showed up, many of whom were Japanese office workers. Below are the dishes we had that day.
▪️Special Karashi Miso Ramen ¥1780
I ordered the second most popular ramen (the first is the meat increase). While waiting in line, a staff member came by to ask about the spiciness level. I wasn't sure how spicy it would be, so I conservatively chose the lowest level, "less." For me, the spice level was just right; the noodles were delicious, the bean sprouts were crunchy, and the soft-boiled egg was very flavorful. The highlight was... that piece of meat was simply too delicious!!! It was so good that my friend and I couldn't stop raving about it. We also really liked the broth, which had a rich backfat flavor. There was also seasoning powder available to add different tastes (I saw the table next to us adding a lot).
▪️Pork Over Rice ¥550
It’s just a piece of meat placed on top of rice, with some green onions added. The rice was cooked very well, and it paired perfectly with the braised meat and soup. I recommend that those with a bigger appetite definitely add this!
Overall, even though we had to wait a little, it was really delicious! After finishing, I felt very satisfied. I must again rave about that piece of chashu (braised meat?), which was truly amazing. There were also paper towels available at the dining area to prevent getting food on your clothes, which I found very thoughtful.
Braces Person Review: There is one restroom, but I didn't use it so I'm not sure about it.
When you come to Japan, you have to eat ramen 🍜. This is my second bowl of ramen in Japan, and I'm trying Kikanbo, which also has a branch in Taipei. Even on a weekday, you have to line up to eat here. First, you order from the vending machine and then line up to be seated. I ordered the NO.2 Special Kara Spice Miso Ramen for 1780 yen. When you're almost seated, the staff will ask about your spice and numbness preference. I chose less (regretting not choosing medium). I waited in line for about 20 minutes. Once seated, you can help yourself to ice water, and there's also a bib available. The noodles arrived quickly. The spicy miso broth is rich, and the bean sprouts are stir-fried, making for a very satisfying combination. The noodles are slightly firm and chewy, pairing perfectly with the soup. The highlight is the thick piece of meat that melts in your mouth, tender, juicy, and beautifully marbled. I devoured it in no time 😂. The meat rice is just a piece of meat on rice, but I have to say that all the rice I've had in Japan tastes great, especially with the meat. It's also incredibly delicious when you pour the broth over it. Overall, it's a taste that I'll miss when I return to Taiwan. Writing this review makes me want to eat it again.
