Inside the shop, we have to wait for a small que as it is dinner time. However the que wasn't long, when we finally reached the vending machine, we have to wait again for the remaining customer to finish their delicious ramen to free up the seats.

So during the que or waiting, we were handed with this small leaflet to customize our ramen along with the coupon you purchased just now from the vending machine.

| Customise sheet to design your own ramen |
Some good 20 minutes waiting while chatting with other tourist, is finally our turn! But we got separated due to there's no 5 free seats in a row.
In front of you, there's a tap water valve for your free flow of iced water.

Beside there's a wooden panel that can be open if you are seated with friends. But normally is closed because lone customer want to have his/her ramen in peace.

The ramen is delivered from the small opening window in front of you. As they serve the ramen to you, the waiter/waitress will say 'Enjoy Your Meal' or gochisousama deshita then drop bamboo window sheet down for not disturbing your meal.

| Shoryu ramen |
The ramen is out of this world. Texture is spongy but not too hard, QQ texture as Taiwanese love to said, the broth which is slow cooked pork bone with Shoryu(Soy Sauce) exploded in your mouth. The porky flavour, the chilli flakes, the green onion, the Shoryu just combined very very well plus with a little bit of flaour flavour in ramen, gosh YOU MUST TRY THIS! Also lets not forget the 2 large slow cooked slice of pork absorbed all the flavour of the soup while maintaining its succulent texture of the pork meat.

Bloated with water and soup and ramen, we move on to our last destination of the day - Kabukicho.
