Shibuya

The kids had fun doing something creative, and with their hands, and brought something home to show for it, jeans that they can wear!

I booked the limited-edition "Shibuya Chiikawa Ramen + Black Oolong Tea" set meal through KKday this time, and the overall experience was quite unique! The shop is rather small, with only about a dozen seats, but this gives it a more intimate feel, like stepping into an anime-themed shop. The star of the meal was the limited-edition Otter Master Mentaiko Ramen—the broth was rich but not greasy, and the mentaiko sauce, once stirred, brought a subtle spiciness and a seafood flavor, which paired perfectly with the medium-ramen noodles, making it incredibly comforting. The complimentary black oolong tea was very refreshing, making the set meal a perfect complement. The interior was filled with Chiikawa elements, from the wall murals to the tableware, all themed around the theme, and even the napkins had small character illustrations. Because it was an exclusive sale through KKday, the ticket exchange process was smooth, making it suitable for fans who don't want to queue on-site. The only minor drawback was the cramped space; it might feel a bit crowded for a group, but it's perfect for one person or two people chatting.

It would be better if there were more set meal options, such as those including non-offal meats.

The process is simple: finding the machine, collecting tickets, and reserving seats is very convenient; there's no need to communicate with anyone, and the machines all have Chinese translators.
