I made a bold culinary pilgrimage to Chuka Soba RYO.
Yes, dear reader, it was a ramen encore after already indulging at Ofukuro Sushi. But when you’re out with Tiger—the man with the tiny appetite yet boundless ambition—doubling down is the default. I knew better this time and paced myself accordingly.
This time, I went for the Niboshi Salt Chicken Soba. It’s been a while. But oh, what a reunion! Flavorful, nostalgic, and absolutely divine.

The price? 920 yen. Not quite at the four-digit mark, but close enough to make your wallet wince. Inflation, my old foe, you strike again.

Diving into my archives (because ramen love is serious business), I uncovered this price timeline:
- March 2018: 750 yen
- December 2020: 780 yen
- April 2025: 920 yen
The trend is undeniable. Everything’s getting more expensive. And while my taste buds celebrate, my bank account whispers, “Help.”
If only the government would do something radical, like—oh, I don’t know—lower the consumption tax?
