Binbintei Main Store

Hachioji ramen, characterized by its soy sauce-based broth and finely chopped onions, originated in Hachioji during the 1950s. Located near the south exit of JR Hachioji Station, Binbintei Main Store has been a beloved establishment for over 30 years, with multiple locations throughout the city.

The signature ramen features a clear and flavorful broth made from a blend of vegetables, fruits, pork bones, and seafood, combined with a soy sauce-based tare. The sweetness of finely chopped onions, sourced directly from farmers in Hokkaido, adds a mild and rich flavor to the broth, epitomizing the classic Hachioji ramen. For those who want an extra kick of onion flavor, the "Yakumi Ramen" with additional onions is highly recommended.

Other popular menu items include the "Negi Ramen" with plenty of shredded leeks mixed with a special spicy miso, the "Chashu Ramen" featuring homemade pork shoulder chashu, and various tsukemen options. The menu is extensive, and customers can choose large portions or add extra toppings.
