have ur last ramen before Haneda, u can feel the pork atmosphere when closing here, Tonkotsu with soy source, plus smoky pork, yum

Another 7°C cold rainy Saturday, so perfect time for some hot ramen! Been wanting to try らーめん飛粋 and see why they made it onto #Tablelog best 100 Ramen list for 7 years in a row. Arrived at 12:00pm noon, and as expected, the line was crazy long. Decided to head over to Costco Kawasaki to pick some things up, then I would swing back again and hopefully the line would be a little shorter. My plan worked. I did my shopping and came back at 2:09pm to find that there were only 14 people waiting on the line. After a few minutes in the rain, a worker emerged and instructed me to enter the shop and purchase my tickets from their vending machine. Ordered their Special Ramen (特製らーめん) for 1300 yen, got it upsized to medium size (中盛り) for extra 100 yen, and also added their Chashu over rice bowl (肉玉丼) for 400 yen. Went back outside to get back on the line and wait. The worker came back out to collect my tickets and asked me to choose how I wanted the ramen prepared. For the NOODLES, you can choose HARD, NORMAL, or SOFT. For the SOUP you can choose STRONG, NORMAL, or LIGHT. And for the OIL you can choose MORE, NORMAL, or LESS. For my options, I chose HARD, STRONG, MORE. Was then asked what I wanted to come out first, the ramen or the meat bowl- I chose the meat bowl. Only had to wait a little longer than 10 mins and was then ushered into the store. My meat bowl came out first, with raw egg yolk on top. Using my chopsticks broke the yolk and mixed it into the meat and dug in. The chashu had a very nice BBQ-like flavor to it and was really yummy. Less than 1 minute later, I was presented with my ramen. First tasted the soup which had a very pork boney creaminess to it and then a slight chicken-esque aftertaste creeps in. I can see how some people can say the taste is a little "gamey" but one could also say that is what makes it taste very "homey".  The wide wavey noodles had a nice bite to it, like al-dente if you will, hence me choosing HARD as my option for the noodles. And then I tried a slice of the chashu, on the thin side and had a very delicate very delicious taste. The special version also comes with a seasoned egg that was perfectly seasoned and especially yummy. Highly recommend! I regret not ordering the LARGE upsize [大盛り] as my noodles ran out first. That didn't stop me from finishing every last drop of soup. I thoroughly enjoyed eating here and will definitely return back here once again. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

The noodles harmonize nicely with the broth, though the flavor profile does not fully align with my personal preferences. The soup presents a stronger emphasis on chicken, yet achieves an admirable balance overall.

I can only say not the best.... Char siew is good... Noodle is good too... But the soup is a bit too salty for my own liking.... Avoid lunch time and peak hour. The q moves fast. For guys should not have any problems... But for lady might feel a bit stress... Because they will keep on annouce how many people are waithing outside.... 🤣🤣🤣If you don't understand Japanese then is ok... 😅😅😅 If you are around Kamata, can give it a try....

Ramen restaurant near Kamata station, about 6 people in line before midnight, but not too long. When you wait in line, the staff prompts you to buy a meal ticket from the ticket vending machine. When you return to the line, you are asked how hard you want your noodles, how much flavor you want, and how much oil you want. This is iekei ramen, which originated in Yokohama. The soup has no cloying taste and you can enjoy the pork bone flavor. The wide noodles also have a good texture.
