Is it beyond the real Fukuoka? Koenji "Kenta" with unlimited extra balls for 1000 yen is dangerous
📍 Nakasu Yatai Nagahama Ramen Shodai Kenta Tokyo Koenji Main Store
Yamato-cho, Nakano, Tokyo 1-66-6
🥢 this menu
・ Ramen (all-you-can-eat) ¥1,000
---
A mysterious machine that sucks in a thousand-yen bill and Kusa-ji Sumeru who pokes his nose.
In the back alley of Koenji, I became acutely aware of the shallowness of my knowledge.
- Yeah.
Weekdays at 11: 30.
Even though it was before the opening, the line was already growing.
To the intense pork bone smell leaking out to the outside of the store,
"Hey, are you ready?"
I feel like I'm being tested.
- Yeah.
This is "Kenta" in Koenji, which is talked about in various ways as "overwhelmingly delicious than authentic Nagahama ramen."
Currency exchange is not possible, one operation, hardness of noodles is not possible.
The system that lets you inhale 1,000 yen bills at the entrance is more like a "theme park entrance fee collection machine" than a ramen shop ticket vending machine.
- Yeah.
A cup of fate that was safely seated in the first round and carried.
The moment I broke the oil film on the surface and took a sip of the soup, all my cells opened their eyes.
It's too delicious!
What is this!?
It's not stinky.
It is the "aroma" of sharpened pork bones.
The taste is surprisingly refreshing, but the waves of umami and richness that come in later are strong.
Definitely the biggest shock of my life in this genre.
- Yeah.
And the voice of "Kaedama please!" flying from around the store.
Ultra-thin noodles that the owner throws into the bowl at a good tempo with a flat colander.
The stomach was grabbed by the super hot soup that did not cool at all even if I piled up kaedama, and before I knew it, I was also hammering three times.
I still had some energy left, but in order to enjoy the delicious soup at the end, I stopped at about the ninth minute of my crying stomach.
Of course, it goes without saying that it was delicious to the last drop.
- Yeah.
Lower the bowl to the return space, wipe up the table and leave the store.
"What should I do if I want to drink this soup again tomorrow morning?"
- Yeah.
Make sure that you have a "1000 yen bill" and a "100 yen coin" for toppings in your pocket before lining up.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Thank you for the meal 👅
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

高円寺「健太」の豚骨 ラーメンは、単に濃厚なだけではなく、香り高く切れ味のあるスープが最大の魅力です。行列の理由はその独特の魅力にありますが、訪れる際には「千円札」と「百円玉」を必ず用意しましょう。券売機のように1,000円札を吸い込ませるシステムは、両替不可、硬さの指示も受け付けないため、初めての方は戸惑うかもしれませんが、このシンプルさが逆にお店の個性を際立たせています。 私も実際に訪れて、店主が平ざるで手際よく茹で上げる極細麺の替玉を何度も注文しました。替玉が何回でもできるというのは、特に濃い味の豚骨が好きな人にはたまらないサービスで、スープが冷めない暑さも見事です。極細麺が豚骨の濃厚さと絶妙に絡み合い、最後まで飽きずに味わえます。 また、豚骨独特の臭いが苦手な人も多いですが、「健太」のスープは「臭い」ではなく磨き抜かれた「香気」。この繊細な香りは普通の長浜ラーメンとは一線を画しており、一口すすった瞬間に感動を覚えました。 さらには、高円寺という立地も魅力の一つ。都心からのアクセスが良く、仕事帰りや休日のお出かけ時に気軽に立ち寄れる場所にあります。私のように豚骨ラーメン通はもちろん、未経験者も是非チャレンジして欲しいお店です。それほどまでに「本場福岡を超えている」と言わせる味わいは、食べる価値あり。 最後に、店内はワンオペで忙しそうですが、気さくな店主の手さばきを眺めながら待つ時間も楽しめるのがまた良いところ。機会があれば、ぜひ替玉無制限の魅力を体感してください。
