らーめん一丁






The first restaurant I wanted to talk about on here is a place just down the way called "Ramen Itcho". It`s obviously a ramen shop, and it`s one of the places that made me fall in love with this place.








The 1st thing you notice about Ramen Itcho is that it is one of the only places in Yukigaya that you can eat outside, this is a big bonus! The 2nd thing that you`ll notice is that the couple who runs the place are rad! The "master", the husband is fairly quiet, but seems very nice, and the wife is just a bundle of super-charged energy that always smiles, and always remembers my order. The prices at the place are a little on the expensive side, but reasonable none the less. A bowl of Chashu-men (チャーシュー麺), which is what I measure any ramen shop with, will run you 800円 whereas a bowl of standard soy sauce ramen (しょう油ラーメン)will cost you 550円, Up-size (大盛り) is a very reasonable 100円. A big bottle of beer (瓶ビール) will run you 500 which is very reasonable in Tokyo. One of the sets available is to add a small rice and 3 gyoza (小ライス+餃子) to your order for only 200円. Several toppings are available, ranging from 100-300円.
As for the flavor of the ramen, in general it is very serviceable. It`s not the best ramen in Yukigaya, but the biggest reason to visit is the chance to sit out on the street on a sunny day (or a cold winter night, as I have done) with a big ol` beer and a calm breeze.T: 5
