らーめん えんや

I never noticed this shop on my weekly walk to a student’s clinic. Maybe that’s because they have been away…

… at a ramen tryout. The ramen tryout shop brings me back a few years. I used to work in Tachikawa, way out in the west of Tokyo. The N.Y. Ramen Square ramen-themed food court was a usual lunchtime hangout. You had 6 or 7 regular shops, and then one more. With a chance at ramen fame, getting in is a big deal.
I guess Enya didn’t make the final cut though.

I feel that this shop is related to Hajime, since it looks exactly the same. Minus a few things, plus a few. The distinctive green onion-laced meatball is hard to miss.

Light shio ramen feels a little out of place in the alleyways of Oji, a part of town that is less of a destination, and more of the last stop after catching the 11:59 pm train home after another day of work.

Maybe this storefront is actually the new home of future ramen tryout shops. Every few months, it will change, and I will never have to make the hour-plus journey out to Tachikawa gain. One can dream.
