    The restaurant has both counter seats and table seats, with a total of 15 seats available.
    This establishment prides itself on its seafood and pork bone ramen, with the boiled dried fish soup being particularly exquisite.
    The soup is rich and flavorful, complementing the noodles perfectly.
    The low-temperature-cooked chashu (sliced pork) is also delicious and irresistibly good.
    The chashumen and tsukemen are also popular choices, which I would like to try on my next visit.
    The restaurant is open from Monday to Friday from 11:00 a.m.
    to 3:00 p.m.
    and 5:30 p.m.

    However, it may take some time for the order to be served, so it is recommended to visit with some spare time.
    The shop itself is small and you can enjoy your meal while listening to Western music.

    らーめん弁慶門前仲町店

    Ramen Benkei Monzen-nakacho is a ramen shop located in Fukagawa, Koto-ku, Tokyo.
    The first floor has standing eating style, while the second floor has counter and table seats.
    When you visit, I recommend trying the ramen with plenty of pork fat.
    The rich and flavorful broth pairs perfectly with the chewy noodles.
    Since its establishment, Benkei has built a reputation for their pork fat ramen, which has become a beloved staple menu item.
    In addition to their signature dish, they also offer a variety of options such as miso, salt, and seafood tsukemen.
    Personally, I am a fan of the pork fat ramen.
    The atmosphere of the shop is also cozy and you can enjoy the standing eating style.
    I highly recommend visiting.

    鳥料理有明

    "Toridishes Ariake" is a chicken dish restaurant located in Tomioka, Koto-ku, Tokyo.
    The interior of the restaurant is clean and elegant, and for lunch, there are only five seats available at the counter.
    Among the dishes, the recommended ones are tofu dishes and chicken hot pot.
    The tofu dishes appear to be ordinary tofu, but when you put your chopsticks in, it crumbles and becomes noodle-like.
    It is delicious when dipped in the sauce.
    As for the chicken hot pot, it is similar to the ones you can find in Nagoya, and it is a tasty hot pot that is rich but not heavy.
    The restaurant is open from Monday to Friday, from 5:00 pm to 10:30 pm, and on Saturdays from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
    It is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
    The restaurant is conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from Monzen-nakacho Station on the Tozai Subway Line.
    There are a total of 25 seats, with only 5 seats available for lunch at the counter.
