MUSASHI SAKAI: Tokyo Miso Ramen Uzura for a cold bowl of Chuka-Soba... great for the summer. (SONY RX100)

After hearing the gentlemen next to me ask when the limited special chilled miso chuka soba would not be offered anymore I had to go back! 

https://tokyobelly.blogspot.com/2018/08/musashi-sakai-tokyo-miso-ramen-uzura.html

August 31st and it was still available. 

They won't allow you to line up inside but its great because you really don't want people breathing down on you while eating.

Stepped out after getting my ramen ticket.

Foldable fan at the table.... must for hot summers!

The chef totally loves Maroon 5... only thing on the BGM.

Maroon 5 - Girls Like You ft. Cardi B

You can order nami (small portion of noodles), chu-mori (medium portion) or oo-mori (large portion) for free.  Went for Chu today but it was reaching my limit.

Lots of toppings but most loved the tender charsiu.

Mix away!  

Little bowl of spice.

Overall my Japanese ramen foodie absolutely loves this cold miso chuka soba.  I'm just not much of a chilled ramen kind of guy.  Even my tsukemen I ask for atsu-mori (hot noodles) rather then the traditional cold noodles. After noodles are boiled they bathed in cold water to maintain the texture.

It was exactly a 1 hour trek by bike to reach Uzura but probably my 2nd and last visit.  The husband and especially wife was super friendly...  if I go again perhaps will try the Tsukemen then call it quits.

MUSASHI SAKAI: Tokyo Miso Ramen Uzura... this is one fantastic bowl of miso ramen with thick noodles. (SONY RX100)

A super long walk from Hoya station to Kichijoji but on the way my ramen connoisseur  friend suggested we make a detour to Musashi Mitaka.

He said the hiyashi-chuka summer only special was to die for... as soon as it cools down they will stop serving the dish this year.

As I am not too into cold noodles I went for the shop specialty Miso Ramen with egg.

You can upgrade your noodles to Oomori (extra large portion) for free.

The miso soup had a very deep flavor with little bit of oil floating on the surface. 

Noodles so pefectly chunky chewy... totally prefer this to thin ramen noodles.

This charsui was so incredibly tender and had the texture of roast beef. So Yum!

Overall this place was just too perfect with so many regulars on Obon Holiday Tuesday at 2pm. Run by young husband and wife team who seem to be expecting in a few months.  You gotta go!!

SEKIMAE: Shinasoba Aoba Ramen... no train station in sight but busy busy. (SONY RX100)

I walked past Aoba on my way to Uzura Ramen and the chef looked really mean... But on this Monday I caught a ride with my friend to give it a try.

Ramen prices from 800 yen... a tad higher than most.

The noodles were thin but very chewy... Its a very simple shoyu ramen with a tiny layer of oil on top.

Don't mind the chef if he ignores you or doesn't say thanks... no smiles to this very traditional elder Japanese guy.
