大勝軒@東池袋 (Higashi Ikebukuro Taishoken)

But I followed this person’s advice and went just before the shop closed at 3pm(this place doesn’t open for dinner) on a weekday, and we only waited for about 10 minutes. I had the basic ramen, my friend had the tsuke-men, where the soup and ramen are separated. Somehow the tsuke-men’s soup is sweeter. Both are nice. While I never expected myself to understand the hype about this place, my curiosity is satisfied.
