Dipping Noodles, "Jurumen Ikeda," @ Meguro, Tokyo

I came to "Jurumen Ikeda" for lunch. "Juru" is the sound of noodles when Japanese people slurp them. This ramen noodle shop is very popular in Meguro, Tokyo. Sometimes we see lines in front of the shop at lunch time. 3 minute walking distance from our studio.

今日は目黒で人気のつけめん屋さん、づゅる麺池田に来てみました。時々店の前に行列までできちゃうお店です。私たちのスタジオから歩いて3分です。

Buying a ticket with the vending machine and come inside. I recommend to eat "Dipping noodle, or Special ramen noodles limited offer."

あんしん宣言

Ajitama-Tsukemen (Dipping noodle with a boiled egg) JPY930. The noodles are made from 3 kinds of Japanese wheat, and they are chewy. The soup is mainly made from chicken, with some seafood, and it is thick. They match together very good. Squeeze a slice of lemon after you eat some noodles and change the taste light, too!

味玉つけめん930円。3種の国産小麦粉で作られたもちもちの麺と鶏をメインに魚介のうまみを効かせたとろみのあるスープがおいしいです。途中でレモンを絞ってさっぱりさせて食べてね。




This shop was opened in 2006 and the owner chef had used to work at Thai restaurant. So this ramen shop offers various noodles with Asian taste as limited offer, and they are very popular, too. Thai, Szechuan, Myanmar noodle... They offered "Cilantro noodle" JPY850 when I went there.

2006年にオープンしたこのお店はオーナーがタイ料理出身。期間限定のメニューはタイ風、四川風、ビルマ風などいつもアジアンなオリジナルラーメンが出されてこれがとても人気なんです。私が行ったときはパクチーラーメン850円でした。

Ramen @ Meguro, Menya Fujishiro

My lunch place today is "Menya, Fujishiro," Ramen noodle bar in Meguro, Tokyo. This Ramen place is famous for "Toripaitan" soup, which was made from mainly chicken meat and bones cooked long hours, and contains much collagen. This shop was shown on magazines and TVs many times. The bar is a little difficult to find, located on the 1st floor of a building though it is very close from Meguro station.

今日のランチは麺屋藤代へ。ここはテレビや雑誌で紹介された鶏白湯スープで有名なラーメン屋さんです。目黒駅から1分もかからないところにありますがビルの1階の奥まったところにあるので少し見つけにくいかもしれません。

The chef used to work at Italian and French, and Ramen restaurant and finally opened this bar. The soup also contains broth of roasted beaf, and cooked 8 hours. Of course, MSG - free. (No chemical seasonings.) All ingredients and toppings are considered the Ramen to be perfect!

オーナーはフレンチ、イタリアン、そしてラーメン屋さんで修行されたそうです。厳選された具材を長時間煮込んで作られたスープ、化学調味料不使用というのが良いですね！

You buy this Ramen at the ticket machine in front of this bar, and come inside. The bar has about 10 seats. They have English menus.

オーダーは外にある券売機でチケットを買って中に持っていくシステムです。カウンター１０席くらいのお店です。英語のメニューもありました。

Ramen with boiled-egg, JPY850. Green onion, laver, roast pork are on top. The soup seems light, but rich tasting！
煮卵入り、850円。九条ネギ、チャーシュー、のりがのってます。スープはあっさりに見えますがコクがあって美味しい！

You can add ginger lemon, red and black pepper, and/or garlic during the meal. I liked ginger lemon very much! Enjoy the taste change in the middle. 

途中でカウンターに置いてある生姜レモン、にんにく、胡椒等入れてみて味変してください。個人的には生姜レモンがお勧めです！

Spicy Ramen @ Meguro, Moukotanmen Nakamoto



If you like spicy food and ramen noodle, you should eat at Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto. We went to one of their ramen restaurants in Meguro, Tokyo. The restaurant is very crowed at lunch time and weekends, some time people make a line at the front.

It is only 2 minute walking distance from JR Meguro station, easy to find because it is chili spice color, Red! The shop curtain says "Makoto" means faith, and the business started in 1973. Two vending machines are next to the curtain... for the people want to make neutral in their mouths after.

The menu shows how much the ramen is spicy... with the number of fire mark. The spiciest ramen here is Hokkyoku Ramen, means "North Pole Ramen noodle." Sounds cold, but it is really spicy and hot! Be careful, not for beginners.



Buying the ramen ticket from the vending machine, and pass it to the staff. They are really energetic and friendly. You can ask how much the meals are spicy, too. They also have English menus, and it shows the grade of spices with the number. 

I ordered Miso Tanmen (vegetable noodle) JPY780, spicy level 3 because I am not that strong for spicy food. This is spicy for me but still can taste flavor and deliciousness in hot soup. The noodle is think and big volume with various vegetables. I got sweaty but the ramen was tasty.

My friend loves spicy food, and she ordered Gomoku Mouko Tanmen (Tofu, vegetable, meat, egg, etc noodle) JPY880, spicy level 6. It looks very spicy enough even though the level is 6! She likes ramen here, it is spicy and delicious.

If the chili pepper is not enough, you can add... I don't think so !☆♪♯!!

Even though their website is in Japanese, it is funny, take a look!
