Taisyouken ramen – 大勝軒
It’s been too long since I last wrote a post about ramen. Doesn’t mean I haven’t had any though.
Met a good buddy of mine over the weekend and decided to try out the new Taisyouken (大勝軒) shop near Keio University.
The shop is at Hiyoshi Station right opposite Keio University’s Hiyoshi Campus. Any one planning to further your studies in Japan? The Graduate School of Science and Technology do offer international courses for graduate studies.
Very compact inside. This place used to be a tonkatsu restaurant which I occasionally frequent. Now it’s a ramen place.
The standard “chinese noodle” (中華麺) goes for ¥800. And for ¥800, the serving is humongous!
I had the “chinese noodles with vegetables” (野菜盛り中華麺). A hearty ¥850 meal. I had doubts about finishing the entire bowl of ramen. But I sticked with the “jiro strategy”. A painful lesson learnt from a visit to the Jiro Ramen main shop.
If you have a big bowl of ramen, attack the noodles first. Forget everything else and attack the noodles first. Once the noodles are in, it’s smooth sailing from there on.
When we were done, we was so stuffed that we decided to skip beer and go straight to cocktails for after-dinner drinks.
大勝軒 is famous for its tsukemen (つけ麺). That will be on my table the next time around.
