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。
The combination of three shellfish — asari clams, hamaguri clams, and oyster — blended with beef bone broth sent shockwaves through the ramen scene when this shop opened in 2021: how could flavors this distinct possibly coexist so harmoniously?
アサリ・ハマグリ・牡蠣の三種の貝と牛骨を合わせたスープは、2021年の開業当時から「こんな組み合わせが成立するのか」と業界に衝撃を与えた。
Crafted by a chef with a background running hotel kitchens, the bowl is priced at just 880–980 yen, which earned it the top spot in a 2022 Shimokitazawa ramen ranking by Netlab.
ホテル料理長出身のシェフが手がけるその一杯は880〜980円という価格で提供され、2022年のねとらぼ調査では下北沢ラーメンランキング1位を獲得。
A second branch has since opened in Ogikubo — proof that the reputation has only grown.
品質の評判が広がり、ついに荻窪に2号店が展開されるに至った。

Fake reviews removed

1-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. Opened in April 2021 by Taikazu Maeda, former head chef at a hotel Japanese restaurant. Signature crystal-clear shellfish broth (clams, hamaguri, oysters) combined with beef bone stock — a unique and refined combination. A sister restaurant 'Hamagurimen Shichiri' opened in Ogikubo. Tabelog: 3.68 (814 reviews).

'The chef's fine-dining background shows in every sip of the refined shellfish broth.' 'First time I've ever had shellfish and beef bone combined like this.' '1 minute from the station and this quality? Unreal.' Tabelog: 3.68 (814 reviews).
