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。
Open since 2004, this unassuming shop in the Toshima Chuo-dori shopping arcade is widely credited as the originator of the niboshi (dried sardine) ramen boom in Tokyo.
2004年の開業以来、東京の煮干しラーメンブームの火付け役として知られる一軒。
The menu is stripped to just two choices — 'soba' (650 yen) and 'niku-soba' (850 yen) — yet the shop has earned a place in Tabelog's Ramen TOKYO Top 100 for multiple consecutive years.
豊島中央通り商店街に20年以上根を張り、メニューは「そば(650円)」と「肉そば(850円)」のみというストイックな構成ながら、食べログラーメンTOKYO百名店に複数年選出される実力を持つ。
Lines begin forming before noon and the kitchen closes as soon as the broth runs out, with regulars saying the quality for the price is simply unmatched.
スープが切れ次第終了のため昼前から行列が絶えず、「この価格でこのクオリティは異常」と多くのファンが語る。
