Umeya - A Novelty Tantan Noodle Shop In Yokohama

Restaurant Review by W. K.

I went to Chukasoba Umeya which is located in Kanazawa-bunko Station, Yokohama. You can go to Umeya in 3-4 minutes from Kanazawa-bunko Station on the Keihin-kyukou Line. When I arrived at Umeya, it was crowded with many people. This restaurant has 14 counter seats and 1 table for four. Umeya's standard menu is Chukasoba (中華そば). This ramen has a tonkotsu (pork bone) base and fish broth sauce (740yen).

I chose the weekday limited menu. It was called Hiyashi-tounyu-Tantanmen (cold soy milk tartan noodle) and it cost 940 yen.  This noodle dish has many interesting points. First, it is made with chili oil and soy milk. Next, the noodles are topped with tomato and Japanese-mizuna. Finally, this dish is chilled in the refrigerator. It has a wonderful taste of chilli oil and soy milk broth.

Umeya offers upgrade service for students every Monday. Students must present their school ID to get this discount service.  It's very good service for gluttons like me. But this service isn't available on Mondays that are national holidays. If you use this service, you must check your calendar.
