WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Tucked into a corner of Shinjuku 2-chome, this singular shop shook the Japanese ramen world by pairing a delicate clam dashi with truffle oil — a combination no one had thought to attempt — and went on to earn a Michelin star every year from 2019 to 2023.
新宿2丁目の一角で静かに、しかし強烈な存在感を放つこの店は、蛤のだしにトリュフ油を加えるという前例のない発想で日本のラーメン界に衝撃を与え、2019年から2023年まで5年連続でミシュラン一つ星を獲得した。
The queue-ticket system, with distribution beginning at 9:30 each morning, is a ritual that the shop's devoted following has never abandoned even years after the accolades arrived.
整理券制のため9時30分の受付開始と同時に人が集まるほどの人気は権威を得た後も衰えず、食べログ百名店にも選ばれている。
That a bowl of this calibre — Tabelog Hyakumeiten-listed, five-time Michelin-starred — can be had for around 1,200 yen is the kind of fact that draws people from across the city, and across the country, to Shinjuku.
1,200円前後でその唯一無二の一杯を口にできるという事実は、ラーメンという枠を超えた美食体験として、今なお多くの人を新宿へと引き寄せ続けている。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A ramen restaurant that earned one Michelin star for 5 consecutive years (2019-2023). Legendary for its clam and truffle broth. Single domestic location (overseas FC exists). Menu updated May 2025.

Diners say 'one sip explains why ramen can earn a Michelin star.' The clam and truffle combo is described as shocking. Around 1,200 yen — a miraculous bowl.
