Ichiran Nagoya Sakae

My friends and I love this ramen restaurant very much! We named it the Invisible Ramen Restaurant! Because the waiters here always seem to hide behind a small window, and it is always difficult for us to see them. The ramen here is super delicious, with a typical Japanese flavor. You just need to buy a ticket at the window, and then hold your ticket and wait for your ramen!

I ordered the ramen and snacks I wanted at the self-service ticket machine, and stood in line for an hour and a half with my ticket. My feet were swollen. I first tried Ichiran at this restaurant. I waited in line for 30 minutes at 10 pm. It was very popular. The taste was good. The pork bone soup base was worth trying.

Ichiran Ramen is really delicious, but the line at Ichiran Ramen in Osaka is so long that if you want to eat it, just order it here. There are so many people that I had to wait in line for an hour before I could eat it. There is a special self-service ordering method. The soup is thick and tastes good.

Ichiran Ramen only has one basic type of ramen, but you can decide your own taste. I chose a light-flavored one with less oil, a little scallion, and less spiciness, which tasted very good to me. I also ordered a half-boiled salted egg that day. It was soft and moderately salty. If I wasn’t so full, I would have really wanted another one. I would also like to talk about Ichiran's service. There are many service details that are designed from the customer's perspective. For example, the half-cooked salted eggs come with instructions for peeling the eggs, probably considering the nervousness of first-time customers who don't know where to start! The dining area also takes into account the privacy of customers, allowing them to feel that the food is delicious and in a good mood. I also ordered a serving of matcha almond tofu that day. Actually, I am very afraid of the taste of almonds, but somehow I came up with this that day. The taste was really surprising. It didn't have the pungent smell of artificial flavors that I remembered, but only the sweetness of almonds and the warm aroma of matcha. The thoughtful thing is that because this is a dessert, the store gave you a disc with a note. When you want to eat it, just put it on the service bell and the service staff will deliver the meal. It reminds me of some restaurants in China that serve all the ice cream to you at once without considering whether you are still eating noodles or not. They only consider their own convenience. The Japanese service spirit is still worth learning. In addition to delicious food, good service will also lead to customer loyalty.

Finally I had the famous Ichiran Ramen, it was 10 times spicy without any pressure, it was delicious and comfortable spicy, the clear soup tasted good, the matcha tofu tasted like pudding, the matcha taste was very strong and slightly bitter, in general I was super satisfied, the service in the small cubicle had a neon atmosphere, the clerks (non-Japanese) would speak to you in Japanese, although not standard haha

Located in Rong District, the storefront is narrow and not far from the Science and Technology Museum. It is within walking distance. It has a simple storefront with about 20 seats. You can enter in turn. There is a vending machine at the door. You can order noodles and dishes according to your needs. The waiter will arrange a queue to enter the store. Each person has a seat facing the operation room. There are partitions between the seats. There are cups and taps on the small table. Drinking water is provided free of charge.

Ichiran Ramen is the best! (No. 1) We tasted many steaming bowls of noodles in our humble opinion during our ramen exploration, and we spent a lot of money at this restaurant. Make your choice from the pictures on the vending machine at the entrance and enjoy it in the booth. Don't forget to order extra noodles.

I really like noodles, and I love Lanzhou ramen, but the Japanese ramen I ate in China and New York all had a taste of alkaline water. My friends have complained that Japanese ramen tastes like this and you are not used to it. I originally went there to check in with my friends, but it opened the door to a new world. Japanese ramen, even in chain stores, does not have the taste of alkaline water at all.
