Here is a draft article about visiting the ramen restaurant Mensho Samurai Sakiya Shibuya store in Shibuya, Tokyo:

Experiencing the Charm of Authentic Sapporo Miso Ramen at the Popular Ramen Restaurant "Mensho Samurai Sakiya" in Shibuya

The "Mensho Samurai Sakiya Shibuya Store," located in the heart of Tokyo's Shibuya, is a popular restaurant known for its authentic Sapporo-style rich miso ramen. I set out to explore its charm, which has been the talk of the town since its opening and continues to attract many fans.

The Flavor of the Rich Soup Brewed by Northern Artisans

This restaurant is the Tokyo branch of the long-established "Mensho Samurai Sakiya," which was founded in Sapporo in the 1970s. The traditional miso soup passed down from its founding uses a blend of various miso and is enhanced with a roasted aroma to create an exquisite flavor.

The soup has a calm reddish hue, and with each sip, you can experience the rich miso aroma and depth of umami. Adding ginger further accentuates the spicy flavor. Its unique yet never tiresome seasoning is its charm.

Perfect Harmony of the Specialty Curly Noodles and Toppings

The noodles are extra thick curly noodles made from Hokkaido wheat. Their chewy texture creates a different harmony from the miso soup.

In addition to the tender chashu, there are piping hot bean sprouts, green onions, and the rare addition of wood ear mushrooms for miso ramen. The crunchy texture and flavor go well with the miso soup.

Enjoy Ramen All Night Long with Late-Night Opening Hours

The foreign language display on the ticket vending machine and menu makes the restaurant notably open to the world. Depending on the day of the week, it is open until the early hours of the morning, making it a valuable option for late-night enjoyment after spending a late night in Shibuya.

Continuing its challenge in Tokyo while inheriting sentiments for its founding place, Hokkaido, "Mensho Samurai Sakiya" is truly fitting for the diverse Shibuya, allowing one to experience a distinctive ramen culture.

It was so good the first time I ate ramen here, I went back a 2nd night. Delicious! Their dumplings come vegan and GF and the fried chicken is always GF. The ordering machine might not take foreign credit cards, but you can use local cards or cash. The place is small, but they have some seating upstairs too. The food come pretty fast and they ask you to not take more than 40 min to finish your meal (so others can enjoy too). Spoke with someone local while there and they go there often, food doesn't taste the same in other GF places.

We ate here twice on our trip. They offer delicious gluten free items such as ramen and fried chicken. The food is very tasty and I'd highly recommend the experience

I must be honest. Usually I am not a fan of those "dirty" old yet good eateries so much loved by Japanese. And I am not a fan of noodles. Especially I do not like the sound some people emits when eating noodles, here in Japan. However for some reason in general I liked this shop. The only single reason I came was actually because they have a vegan ramen and gyoza and I wanted to try them. Well, food was good enough, but not excellent, service was fast, friendly and good, atmosphere was good. Miso ramen would probably be better adding some salt and spices in it, in my honest opinion. It was tasty enough but could improve. Soy sauce ramen was on the contrary even too strong and salty. Gyoza were good, maybe not the best ever but I liked them. Would I return? Uhm maybe if someone ask me to eat ramen together. Probably will not be a regular customer but wouldn't dislike to come time by time in winter time for a quick bite in shibuya.

Celiac here! I had the GF Ramen Miso and the GF Gyoza. The portion sizes are quite deceiving and fill you up FAST! My brother got theGF fried Chicken and loved it. Be aware the kitchen is a shared space so there is cross contamination to some degree. Staff was very kind and helpful. Small place so if you have large luggage be mindful.

One of my favourite places in Tokyo. The spicy miso ramen was amazing. Added bonus is they have Gluten Free options which taste just as good as regular non-GF. Highly recommended.
