Sosaku Menkobo Nakiryu
A legendary dan dan noodle shop that earned Michelin star for 6 consecutive years. Though small and tucked away in a back street of Otsuka, Toshima, it's selected as Tabelog Top 100 every year. A ticketing system (distribution from 8am) is in place, and lines form even on weekdays. The rich sesame-based spicy broth has devoted fans who travel from afar.
Reviews consistently say 'Worth the wait for the ticket number', 'The sesame fragrance is overwhelmingly addictive', and 'Expected from Michelin, this quality at this price is insane'. Regular customers keep coming back even with 2-hour waits.
