Aji tsuke tamago ramen ( 560 yen + tax )
Aji Tsuke tamago is seasoned eggs that is basically soy sauce tasted. And this menu is basic ramen that has the aji tsuke tamago topping. I think Japanese seasoned eggs are very special menu, unexpectedly. There is difference from general boiled eggs. Taste, mouthfeel are so good.
Nori ramen ( 600 yen + tax )
Nori is seaweed. And it is good smell, and Japanese nori is a little crispy. And it is good combination with ramen. Then Seiya's nori ramen has 7 piece of crispy nori.
I think nori is popular on the sushi menu norimai. And Japanese people have a food culture of nori. For example, there are with sushi, onigiri, zaru soba noodle and so on. So topping nori on ramen is one of good food culture in Japan.

Nowadays Tokyo ramen chain restaurant is good
I thought food chain restaurant is not good, but nowadays chain restaurant is so good.
