Echan Shokudo
Tabelog Ramen Top 100 (2024) and TRY Award 2023-24 (New Restaurant, Soy Sauce category, 7th place). Former comedian Sakae Sato ('Echan') now devotes his life to ramen. Opens at 6am, sells out 100 bowls daily. Sometimes 50+ people queue outside the 6-counter-seat shop.
Reviewers say '50+ people queue from 6am - only in Tokyo'. Many are 'astounded by the perfection of this light soy sauce ramen from a former comedian'. Praise the Tabelog Top 100 selection as well-deserved.
