とんこつラーメン＋みそ＋得入り。
Tonkotsu ramen with miso and assorted toppings. The soup is thick but very good - surprisingly it is not the usual unbearably salty pork bone soup in other ramen places, but actually drinkable. The chashu(pork) is one of the best I have had in Ikebukuro. Only that the ramen is also one of the softest and most overcooked…^^;; Later I checked out other people’s reviews and it seems like the noodle is always that soft, and I wasn’t just unlucky. This place is very popular so always a looooong queue. Though when I went, I got a seat immediately, and after I sat down, a queue suddenly formed outside the shop. ^^;;;;

とりそば（塩味）、８３０円。味玉子、１００円。
Tori-soba - chicken ramen. I thought simmered egg was not included so I ordered it as extra toppings…ended up with 1.5 portion….^^;; This ramen reminds me so much of Cantonese soup noodles because of the clear chicken soup, the soft and juicy chicken topping instead of pork, and the thin noodles used. Very very good!

UPDATES! (Dec 2008) Tori-soba. Miso ramen.
中華そば、６３０円。I read scary stories about how this place is no.1 long-queue ramen shop in Japan, so even I have been curious but gosh no way I am going to wait for hours(literally) for a bowl of ramen. 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.

味噌らーめんにオールスターをトッピング、１２００円。Miso ramen. It is good, soup not too salty, pork very soft, a bit too much beansprout though.

辛巻らーめん＋豚天、９８０円。A big fried spring roll with meat and spicy miso paste inside, and I ordered an extra fried pork…^^;; The spring roll was very nice but somehow the paste was all squeezed into one corner, so you would be eating non-spicy meat most of the time and then in the last bite your mouth was full of spicy paste….I wonder if it was deliberate.
味玉らーめん。Ajitama Ramen. Good.
さんこいち（角煮、のり、ねぎ入り）。
