About Mendokoro Futokoro Ya
A six-seat ramen counter in Saginuma that has held a Tabelog 100 spot since 2017, serving technically refined bowls under ¥1,000. The two-hour weekday lunch window and cash-only policy filter out casual visitors, but for diners willing to queue at a suburban station, the price-to-quality ratio is among Kanagawa's best.
Mendokoro Futokoro Ya is a Kawasaki ramen venue with a verified price of up to ¥999. The confirmed public recognition is its listing in Tabelog 100 - Ramen - KANAGAWA - 2025. Beyond that, Pearl does not have verified details about its exact location within Kawasaki, hours, seating, payment methods, menu structure, service style, reservations, or ownership. Treat this as a concise, price-and-recognition-led listing rather than a full operational guide.
Why the ¥999 Price Matters
The strongest verified reason to consider Mendokoro Futokoro Ya is value: the venue is listed at up to ¥999. For diners comparing ramen options in Kanagawa, that keeps the decision simple. The confirmed Tabelog 100 - Ramen - KANAGAWA - 2025 recognition adds a useful signal, but this page should not imply details that are not verified, such as a specific bowl, broth style, seat count, queue pattern, payment rule, or opening schedule. On the facts available, Mendokoro Futokoro Ya is best described as a low-priced Kawasaki ramen stop with a confirmed 2025 Tabelog 100 Ramen Kanagawa listing.
The Kawasaki Trade-Off
Because the verified data does not include a street address, neighborhood, station, or landmark, the location should be understood only as Kawasaki. That means any visit planning should be checked directly through current official or listing sources before departure. The same caution applies to practical details such as whether the venue accepts reservations, accommodates groups, offers lunch or dinner, or supports specific dietary needs. If you are comparing it with other venues such as FUJIMORI Saginuma ten, Koguma, Teuchi Soba Fuurai Kyo, Berg no Shigatsu Honten, or Sumibi Yakiniku Horumon Urara, use Mendokoro Futokoro Ya’s verified advantage carefully: its price is up to ¥999, and its confirmed recognition is the 2025 Tabelog 100 Ramen Kanagawa listing.
The Booking Calculation

At under ¥1,000, Mendokoro Futokoro Ya undercuts every peer in the Saginuma dining cluster. FUJIMORI Saginuma ten, located at the same station, charges ¥2,000–¥2,999 and offers a more diverse menu with greater seating capacity, making it the better choice for groups or diners seeking variety beyond ramen. For readers prioritizing value over ambiance, Mendokoro Futokoro Ya delivers a tighter, more focused experience at half the cost. Teuchi Soba Fuurai Kyo (¥1,000–¥1,999 lunch, ¥4,000–¥4,999 dinner) and Koguma (¥3,000–¥3,999) sit at higher price tiers and cater to different occasions, soba specialists and izakaya-style dining, respectively, neither competing directly with the ramen-only format here.
For special occasions or group dinners, Sumibi Yakiniku Horumon Urara (¥5,000–¥5,999) offers private seating and a full yakiniku menu, a better fit than a cramped counter with no reservations. Berg no Shigatsu Honten (¥2,000–¥2,999) provides a mid-tier option for those seeking a sit-down meal with more flexibility in hours and payment methods. Mendokoro Futokoro Ya earns its recommendation for solo diners, weekday lunch visitors, and anyone chasing the best bowl per yen in Kanagawa, but only if you can tolerate the queue, the narrow window, and the cash-only counter.
