Reasonable Ramen Restaurant HIDAKAYA 日高屋

I have often had food at a chain restaurant HIDAKAYA 日高屋.
You can choose from a variety of reasonable foods such as ramen, gyoza (dumpling), and many kinds of stir-fried foods.

There are so many HIDAKAYA 日高屋 restaurants in and around Tokyo. Most of them are located close to main stations such as Shinjuku 新宿, Shibuya 渋谷, Ueno 上野, Akihabara 秋葉原, Asakusa 浅草 and so on.
When you are traveling Tokyo by train and subway, probably you will often see HIDAKAYA around the large stations.

Fava Beans そら豆 180 yen

SORA Beans

Cold Sake 生冷酒 380 yen

Please do not take bottles home with you.

In Japan, when you have an alcoholic beverage at a restaurant or bar, it might be served in a bottle which has Japanese characters on it in an interesting design.

I have met some international tourists who wanted to keep the empty ones after drinking. But restaurants have to return them to the liquor store, so you can't take them home, or even buy them.

This policy is common throughout Japan. Instead, you can buy a similar one yourself at a liquor store.

Hidakaya is also good for drinking alcoholic beverages. Several alcoholic beverages of large glass are really inexpensive. The costs are about 270 or 290 yen.

Ramen

Vegetables Ramen 野菜たっぷりタンメン 520 yen

It is my favorite ramen of Hidakaya, because of a lot of vegetables (350g, 0.77lb) on it.
I like adding some vinegar in this salt taste soup. It makes the soup smooth.
* It is not vegetarian meal, because a little bit meat in the ingredients.

Miso Ramen 味噌ラーメン 540 yen

The soup of miso ramen is usualy thick soup, but HIDAKAYA's one is smooth soup and light miso flavor. I prefer thick and strong flavor miso soup, though.

Miso ramen broth is typically very flavorful, but miso ramen at HIDAKAYA 日高屋 is more bland.

It's a good idea to put black pepper and chili oil in it, which are available for you on the table.

You can also ask for garlic paste, as pictured below. The garlic is off menu, however, most HIDAKAYA restaurants will provide it if you ask for it.

Chili Oil, Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Black Pepper

When you are ordering a main dish (ramen and so on), you can also ask for garlic paste. It is free of charge.
