Ganso Stamina Manten Ramen Suzuki

Wild experience. I didn’t check the hours and came in an hour early by accident, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as there was someone lining up already and within 20 mins the line already had a sizeable number of people. What’s even more interesting is this shop serves different kinds of ramen based on when you visit…I happened to visit at night when they serve their stamina ramen. The experience is very Jiro-like - cheap-ish, fast eaters, announce your toppings right before serving, and an expectation that you eat fast and not disturb the organized, moving queue. Soup: I’m not super familiar with stamina ramen, but it was heavily shoyu based with a very complex flavour profile. I was getting slapped by multiple spices, pork fat, ginger, garlic, pepper, I enjoyed it Noodles: thick, handcut-like, and chewy, enjoyable especially for the type of soup and toppings Toppings: sizeable wok fried pork with chives and lots of pork fat What’s even more interesting is despite how heavy the bowl looks, I didn’t feel too terrible after the bowl - mystery!

Wow. This ramen is insane. A uniquely powerful bowl. Worth the trip from Shibuya to Mitaka.

If you are craving for spicy ramen then this is place to go! The food is amazing however there is always a long queue so in summer it's really uncomfortable to wait without AC

The noodle has a very nice texture, boss is very friendly.

Hard to go wrong with Ramen In Tokyo and this is no exception. Rich broth lends itself to some additional heat and vinegar. I'll be back whenever i come to Mitaka.

One good example of overrated Jiro-inspired shop. looks nice but tasted dull. That’s all.

Amazing ramen. Expect wait as this place-in-the-wall has only 7 seats! Worth the wait. The salt ramen is little on the salty side.

Amazing!
