池谷精肉店@秋川 特つけそば¥1300（extra noodles） My first noodle visit to 池谷精肉店, a long-established tsukemen shop in 秋川 known for its 「super-thick noodles」. The ticket machine was broken, so ordering was verbal with payment upfront. For つけそば, you can choose regular 200g or extra 300g, so I greedily chose 300g. The super-thick noodles look just like 武蔵野うどん. Hand-kneaded with a slight wave, they have a delightfully chewy texture. The broad 一反麺 is also smooth, chewy, and delicious❗️ The rich dipping broth is a pork-bone and seafood blend fragrant with dried sardines and fish flakes. The pork-bone flavor and sweetness are restrained, giving it a sharp impression❗️ The dipping broth contains crunchy 山クラゲ and wontons, as well as small pieces of chicken and pork chashu, providing changes in texture and flavor. After finishing the noodles and vegetables, I asked for broth to dilute the dipping soup and drank it all, KK. 300g is quite filling! Thank you for the meal♪

Hmmmmmm…………. I think the flavor is good, but the service and atmosphere are disastrous😅 Are they not going to fix the air conditioner? Eating ramen here this season is a kind of endurance training😥 Even the water is room temperature😓 Yikes, yikes🤣 Ordered a large tsukemen🤔 They say asking for extra noodles gets you more at the regular price, but the large portion isn't much different, yet they charge a substantial large-portion fee😥 Other shops normally provide up to 池谷精肉店's extra-large amount for free😓 The atmosphere……… or rather, is the hygiene okay?😅 That's what I want to ask😅 The older lady's service also feels intimidating because her voice is loud😮‍💨 It wasn't like this before; how did it end up this way?😅 The カレーつけ麺 I ordered was delicious🤤 The curry aroma whets your appetite✨ The dipping broth is packed with chunky ingredients✨ Delicious😍…… but eating in a ramen shop without air conditioning carries a high risk of heatstroke🤣 So I ate quickly and left😅 I want to enjoy my meals slowly, but that's impossible here!!🤣 A delicious but verrrry disappointing restaurant😭

『冷やし黒らーめん(￥1250)』 with extra noodles... So, I've gotten a little less fond of rich stuff and hadn't been coming much, but today I finally visited after ages♪ A quick check showed my last visit was 2015/5/2…(^O^; The properly cold, pitch-black soup is probably based on dried sardines & chicken... It wasn't as salty as I'd expected and had quite a (*´Д｀) clean, refreshing drinking feel, a bit of a surprise...(lol) The homemade thick, flat noodles paired with it have a moderately soft texture and are ( ﾟДﾟ) delicious♪ This extra portion felt like a good 250㌘ after cooking, satisfying♪ The chewy 一反木綿 noodle (1 strip) was also d(⌒ー⌒)! The toppings of tender chopped meat, a little ham-like and low-temperature cooked (?) (probably 1 slice's worth), thick menma & seasoned egg (half an egg) weren't bad either♪ A small amount of chopped cabbage was refreshing♪ Toward the end, midway through, I added the pepper on the table... Then after finishing the solids, I added a little vinegar too and happily finished all the food and soup♪ There seem to be lots of harsh comments about this place, but personally, the service that day was absolutely no problem at all... Well, compared with long ago, the owner's service does have a few quirks, but complaining about this much feels a little off... There are countless places with much more intense service...(lol)

Hello, it's さぴお ✍️麺 池谷精肉店@ 東京都あきる野市秋川1-2-5 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 🍥Highlights ✅The impact of ultra-thick noodles ✅Dense tsukemen with sharp kaeshi and the classic sparkle of animal-and-seafood broth ✅『牛すじカレーつけそば』 is also popular ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ [Score] 82 points ☆3.7 [Access] 『秋川駅』（182m） [Closed] Sundays and Mondays that are public holidays [Queue・System] Almost full when visited・verbal ordering, payment upfront (ticket machine broken) [Flavor] Soy sauce Opened in 1998 as an offshoot of 『一番』 in Fussa. In 2002, it became 『麺 池谷精肉店』 in its current form. Apparently the shop name was inherited from the family's butcher shop. The menu has many intriguing dishes, including 『つけそば』『牛すじつけそば』『牛すじカレーつけそば』『我流つけそば』. I debated a curry option but chose the standard 『つけそば』. By the way, you can increase the noodle portion for free. Service proceeded smoothly. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 🟦Impressions ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ The dipping broth is a pork-and-seafood blend combining robust meat extract with seafood centered on fish flakes. The slightly sweet sauce really hits the spot. The spreading, developed umami of meat and seafood… it has that classic pork-and-seafood brilliance. I like the sharp, fairly salty kaeshi, so characteristic of dipping broth. The noodles are seriously ultra-thick. Dense springiness and a firm bite. Given the area, you can feel udon's influence. Those thick noodles really have impact… The meat topping is ridiculously delicious How can it be so tender yet retain that lean-meat texture? Plump and packed with umami, it stands apart from greasy, junk-style chashu. Finished it all Thank you for the meal #さぴおラーメン #ラーメンデータベース #ラーメン #ラーメンインスタグラマー #ラーメン部

特中華そば1,300円. My first visit in several years. The soup was piping hot, and I thought the noodles and toppings (chashu, wontons, menma, boiled egg) weren't bad. I ordered extra noodles, but perhaps they struggle with multitasking, because it took longer than I expected. I ran out of time because of my transport's scheduled departure, so I tried hard to eat the piping-hot meal in a few minutes, but left a little behind and felt bad about it. 2 nearby ramen shops had closed, and the seats were almost full at lunchtime, but there was no energy or sharpness. The noodles weren't drained thoroughly, and the movements were slow and seemed tired. I hope they keep trying.
