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 away in Kami-Ochiai — not the most accessible corner of Tokyo — this shop has nonetheless attracted visitors from across the country who make the journey purely for the bowl.
上落合という決して交通至便とはいえない立地にありながら、遠方からわざわざ訪れる客が後を絶たない、にぼし系の頂点に立つ一軒。
Seven consecutive years on the Tabelog Ramen Hundred selection and four straight years ranked first in the niboshi (dried sardine) category at the TRY Ramen Awards form a record that stands alone in the industry.
食べログ百名店7年連続選出、TRYラーメン大賞にぼし部門4年連続1位という業界に類を見ない実績は、1杯900円前後のクオリティが単なる名声ではないことを証明している。
Operating at lunch only with bowls priced around 900 yen, it has earned a Tabelog score of 3.79 from nearly 1,800 reviews — and a daily queue that proves, quietly and persuasively, that the inconvenient address is simply never a deterrent.
昼のみ営業でありながら食べログ3.79・1,791件という厚みある評価が示す通り毎日行列が絶えず、「不便でも行く価値がある」と感じさせる稀有な説得力を持つ店だ。
