This popular restaurant always has a line of customers waiting outside. The ramen comes in three flavors: shio, soy sauce, and rich tonkotsu (pork bone) seafood. There are 4 different shio ramen dishes, and the basic one is the Temomi Chuka Soba (Hand-Kneaded Chinese Noodles) for 770 JPY (incl. tax). However, the recommendation is the Tokusei Temomi Chuka Soba (Special Hand-Kneaded Chinese Noodles) for 970 JPY (incl. tax) that comes with a seasoned egg and two types of char siu pork. Also, you can pick between thick, hand-kneaded noodles or thin straight ones. The restaurant's recommendation is thick noodles for soy sauce ramen and thin noodles for shio ramen. Please combine them how you like.

This is a famous restaurant for shio ramen. They call ramen "soba" at this restaurant. The broth is made with high-quality ingredients, and the salt-based sauce they add to the broth is made of a blend of 6 different types of salt from both within and outside Japan. The regular Shio Soba (1,000 JPY (incl. tax)) is delicious, but the Tokusei Shio Soba (Special Shio Soba) for 1,250 JPY (incl. tax) comes with a flavored egg, char siu, and wontons is also recommended. Every Friday it turns into Murasaki Kuroki, a duck soba soy sauce specialty restaurant, so please be aware.

This restaurant was included in Michelin's Tokyo 2016 Bib Gourmand Guide. Their soup stands out because they use hamaguri clams as a base for its flavor. This broth is added to a meat-based soup and also broth taken from dried seafood to create a rich, complex flavor that you can enjoy. The salt used in the Shio Soba (850 JPY (incl. tax)) is a blend of Mongolian rock salt and Okinawan sea salt. It's then topped with Italian white truffle oil, homemade porcini mushroom sauce, and fresh herbs for a gorgeous bowl of ramen.
